Operation Cigars for Warriors

Op: Cigars for Warriors goals are two fold:
1) To send our deployed men and women their #1 requested item, which is a premium cigar. They go to our website, and submit a request, and we then vet them, to verify that they are U.S. service members, as not all APO, FPO, DPO, AA, AE, AP, are U.S. Service Members, but could be other foreign services and or contractors.
2) To ship consistently more than just cigars. We currently ship other products, such as coffee, magazines, lighters, cutters, video games, etc
3) To remind the normal populace that we still have men and women deployed all over the world, in harm's way, not just stationed. In the minds of people today, people are desensitized to the fact that we still have over 220k troops deployed throughout the world

1) the creation of donation centers through out the world. We currently sit at over 400. 85% are cigar retail shops, yet we have everything from Tap Rooms, to hotels, even radio stations, even a church that does it first tithe of every third Sunday.
2) recruiting and educating our volunteers
3) expanding our work shop for the 2nd year
4) getting the mission to be pushed outside of the normal cigar community, the current rate, is unsustainable
5) working with Congress, on gaining a exemption for the FDA regulation that prevents manufacturer's from donating product
6) expanding our reach with different media outlets
7) recruiting of talent
8) the creation and implementation of the "Patriot Program" that will incorporate every element within the organization

1) We have currently the most "Talented" board of directors. There are 14 different positions that work together through synergy.
2) We have an additional at any given time 300-500 volunteers.
3) Continue to grow the "CFW Work Conference" which is dedicated in building team unity, building and understand better policies, checks and balance, and marketing strategies.
4) Implement a better website, and build a app, that work together, with the strong social media teams we already have in place. We have recently recruited our Director of Strategic Operations who will be able to make this happen.
5) Grow our email audience. We are doing this by capturing additional emails at the some 150 plus events and Multi Vendor Events (MVE).
6) We have a very strong Marketing team, that is growing daily
7) We have a very strong Social Media, and we are currently implementing a new program called "CFW Social Media District Managers" which will grow our social media footprint exponentially on a quarterly basis.

We are currently at almost 1 million premium cigars being sent to our deployed men and women. There also has been almost 10klbs of coffee, 1000s of cutters, lighters, humidors, and 10s of thousands of magazines, and assortment of other donated items.
