: Snowball Express - for the families of fallen heroes

The Holzmann & DeBlis Real Estate Team recently supported the families of fallen troops by participating in Snowball Express.  Learn more: http://www.snowballexpress.org

"The mission of Snowball Express, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, is to help create new memories and a few days of joy for lives that have been shattered by the loss of their fallen hero. It is America's chance to give a gift of gratitude to the children and spouses of those men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice since September 11, 2001.

Snowball Express started just last year, and in December of 2006, we flew 900 grieving family members from all across America to Southern California for an unforgettable holiday party. Kids and widows discovered they weren't alone. And they found they weren't forgotten.

It was a totally volunteer effort which came together in just a few months to create the largest all-expense-paid gathering for the families of our fallen warriors since 9/11.

Southwest Airlines, Oakley, Quiksilver, Panda Express, Taco Bell, Starwood, Marriott, Best Western, Disneyland and countless other partners and sponsors, combined with thousands of Rotary volunteers in Southern California and all across America, contributed and volunteered because it was the right thing to do.

And this year [2007], we did it again… only bigger and better… this time for nearly 1,200."
