Share A Christmas Message with Troops Overseas

The holiday season is underway, and it is time for our favorite Christmas tradition here at the Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center:  Sending Christmas cards with messages of our gratitude to our troops who will be serving overseas, far from home on Christmas Day.

Our team invites you to join us again this year to bring cheer to our troops who deserve it so much.  Just write heart-felt positive messages of appreciation and holiday cheer to our troops in holiday cards, and deliver those to one of our locations during open hours by Friday, Dec. 9.  One of our lovely community friends, Lynda Deckers, decorated boxes to drop your donated cards with messages into!

Coming in for an exam?  We have blank cards here that you can write messages to the troops right here in our lobbies.  Once you write your positive message to the troops, just drop the card in our decorated box.  We appreciate the support! 

We will be collecting the cards with written messages inside, now until Friday, Dec. 9, so that we can get them to local Valley Classic Rock Station KSLX (100.7 FM) as part of their annual "10,000 For The Troops." The extra time will ensure they all arrive and are distributed in time for the holiday! 

We were thrilled with the hundreds of Christmas cards we received each year since beginning this campaign, showcasing just how much gratitude our community has for those who will be spending the holiday season heroically protecting our safety and freedoms.

Cards need no postage or stamps  - the radio station will be sending cards in bulk, so save your stamps!   Envelopes are also not required.  You can donate as many cards as you like.  Some get together as a family or group of friends to fill out cards as part of a new holiday tradition!  You are welcome to bring in home made cards as well!

THANK YOU LYN FOR MAKING THE BOXES!
