Pie in the Face Fundraiser
by Brian Bennett
(Fort Polk, LA.)
We as an Army unit, are always looking for new ideas for our FRG(family readiness group). It is basically a group of Army spouses that that keep all the family members of deployed soldiers informed on what is going on overseas, when they plan to return, emergencies, and unfortunately deaths as well.
Anyway we do a lot of the traditional things such as baked goods sales and car washes during the summer. We also usually try to hold a pot on the higher leadership on who will get a pie to the face.
Each person on the list has his/her separate fund and whomever gets the most money donated to their pot gets the pie in the face by popular demand. Its actually really fun times!
