National Program
- ABC’s “Good Morning America” and
Wal-Mart Holiday Caravan. During
the 2006 holiday season, Operation Homefront
organized a series of holiday events at six
major military bases where children and families
received more then $500,000 in toys, gift cards,
specialized computers for wounded warriors
and emergency assistance. We also selected
5 families to visit Santa at the North Pole,
with more than 1500 families applying with
less than one week’s notice. Not only
did ABC’s “Good Morning America” partner
to cover three of the events, including re-uniting
military families by satellite with their deployed
service member, but the program generated literally
hundreds of newspaper, local radio and television
coverage.
Regional Program
- September 11 Freedom Walk. Operation
Homefront chapters organized 15 Freedom Walks in
2006, the largest outside of Washington, DC. With
the generous help of sponsors in local markets,
we were able to:
- Attract thousands of ‘walkers’ at
each event
- Draw major media coverage, including 11 radio
stations in St. Louis simulcasting the event
- Provide participants and onlookers with memorial
items featuring sponsor logos
Local Program
Annual Golf Classic
The inaugural golf classic raised over
$109,000 in support of military families and injured
soldiers. Presented by SM&A, over 144 golfers
competed for top honors on a beautiful fall day while
contributing much needed funds for Operation Homefront. Set
amidst Trabuco Creek and the Ladera Open Space Reserve,
the 240-acre course provided the backdrop for an unforgettable
experience. Throughout the event, golfers were
presented with great opportunities win outstanding
prizes, including a brand new Audi at the “Hole-In-One” competition
sponsored by Commonwealth Audi. At the awards
dinner & cocktail reception, guests were treated
to live music, the chance to participate in an opportunity
drawing, along with a silent and live auction. The
most coveted item was the chance to fly in an F5 Fighter
Jet piloted by a Top Gun instructor. Noted television
host Ed Arnold MC’d the evening along with Brittany
Frick, Miss International. All sponsors received
special recognition at www.operationhomefront.net and www.cinchouse.com as
well as tournament privileges
Military – Targeted Program
- Launch of the 529 College Savings
Plan. A key military organization
in Washington, DC, Military Officers Association
of America (MOAA), launched a 529 plan specialized
for military families to provide their members
a real benefit and recruit new members. MOAA
turned almost exclusively to CinCHouse.com
to reach it’s nearly 900,000 unique monthly
visitors as well as listeners to our syndicated
radio program and podcast, “The Jacey
Eckhart Show.” Our advisors guided MOAA
in targeting their marketing to young families,
created a full-service online application with
a Control Panel for MOAA to monitor real-time
results, and created a ‘surround sound’ marketing
campaign that promoted the 529 plan in our
editorial content, banner ads, discussion forums,
and radio show. In less than one month, MOAA
attracted more than 40 applicants.
