Pete Heiden Metroplex Pioneer Club

Idearc donates to Girl Scouts

GIRL SCOUTS' PROJECT TROOP TO TROOP COOKIE SALE

For the past 2 years, the Pete Heiden Metroplex Pioneer Club has been a proud supporter of the Girl Scouts' Project Troop to Troop Cookie Sale. In 2007 and again in 2008 our Club has purchased 100 boxes of cookies for Project Troop to Troop which donates Girl Scout cookies to members of the Armed Forces. The Pete Heiden Pioneer Club is an organization comprised of Idearc Media employees and retirees who volunteer their time, energy, ideas, and support to promote volunteerism in our local communities. Our Pioneer Club in Texas has supported many programs and provided our services, time, and donations throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in the past few years and Project Troop to Troop is another example.

For U.S. Troops stationed across the nation and around the world, nothing says “home” like a box of Girl Scout Cookies. Project Troop to Troop encourages customers to buy packages of Girl Scout Cookies to donate to members of the U.S. Armed forces.

Girl Scout Cookies donated to the Project Troop to Troop program will be shipped through a partnership with Fed Ex to Fort Hood, the USO and The American Red Cross for distribution to soldiers stationed at home and deployed abroad.

During the 2007 Cookie Sale Program, customers "sponsored" over 26,000 packages of cookies for Project Troop to Troop. The cookies were delivered to Fort Hood, where soldiers unloaded the full truck in record time! From Fort Hood, the cookies will travel the globe, bringing a taste of home to those who protect our home.
