Card tables around the area
You will find us with paper, markers and stickers at community events across Northwest Ohio, and anyone who walks up can sit down and make a card. Youth leagues make cards with us between games, and any league, scout troop or club can do the same.
Events we come back to year after year include Roche de Boeuf in Waterville, the Maumee Summer Fair and the Mercy health fair at Perrysburg Rotary Park.
Where the supplies come from
Almost every card supply we use is donated. Most of it comes through the Perrysburg Buy Nothing group on Facebook and our Amazon Wishlist. When we post that we need something, it gets filled almost immediately.
Schools and sponsors
Schools across the Toledo area take part in every campaign, and Terry Crosby, our Community Engagement Liaison, builds those relationships.
Taylor Automotive Family, Directions Credit Union, Meijer, Maumee Eagles, BG Elks Lodge and Proclaim FM 102.3 back our families.
How families find us
Most reach us by word of mouth or through Facebook. ProMedica Children's Hospital has connected us with families as well. Because of HIPAA a hospital cannot hand us a name, so staff speak with the family first and ask whether we can call them.
Email support@operationsurpriseattack.org or call (567) 331-2162 and we will get back to you.
