Families Raising Money to Buy Soldiers BomBots

Families of the 209 Quartermaster Divsion are raising money in order to purchase three BomBots for their soliders. The BomBots, built by Virginian company, IRT, only cost $5,000. Several soldiers from the community have been killed or wounded by IEDs, and this inspired grandmother, Saundra Whiddon, to organize fundraisers to buy the robots.

Anyone interested in assisting with fundraising efforts aimed at buying bomb detection robots for the 209th Quartermaster Company should contact Saundra Whiddon at (765) 463-9659 or by e-mail at saundraz-song@verizon.net or Brenda Wilson at (765) 762-3837.
