Jacksonville Beach, FL – Children of Fallen Patriots will be hosting the first “Raise your Glass” event of the new year at four Mellow Mushroom locations in Jacksonville, including the Avondale, Jacksonville, Fleming Island and Jax Beach locations. Mellow Mushroom has agreed to donate 10% of a table’s check to the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation when the guests present the Raise your Glass flyer. The promotion will take place on Wednesday, February 18th, from 11AM to 2AM. The Fallen Patriots will be raffling off exciting prizes at the Jax Beach Mellow Mushroom, from 5PM – 8PM. Raffle ticket donations will start at $5.

"Raise Your Glass” is an initiative of community events that are held throughout the year to raise funds and spread awareness about Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation. The “Raise Your Glass” events are held at popular venues across Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, and St. Augustine. Each event includes a charity raffle with prizes that have been generously donated by local businesses, including a pair of Adventure Landing Waterpark tickets, 4 tickets to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine and two 7 night stays at The Palm Island Resort in the Grenadines and the St. James Club in St. Lucia.

Every dollar they raise through these public events goes directly to provide college education for children that have lost a parent in the line of duty. The Fallen Patriot’s Board of Directors generously donates to cover the administrative and fundraising costs.

About Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation
Headquartered in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation's mission is to provide college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. This includes casualties both before and after 9/11/2001. The organization’s vision is to ensure education to all such children by bridging the gap between existing sources of grants and scholarships and the total cost of college. Fallen Patriots has over 5,600 children currently identified, but it is estimated that there are over 14,000 more children who deserve their assistance. With help through financial support, volunteering, or spreading their message, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation’s mission will be a success.

If you are a child who has lost a parent in the line of duty, or if you have a child and have lost a spouse in the line of duty, contact Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation at 866-917-2373 for more information.
