Spring Pack sends 180 cartons all over the world.
On our 22nd Anniversary, we held another Spring Pack. This year a team from Menasha Packaging came to help, along with our regular krew. In addition, new Benefactor JMattingly1845 Craft Distillery, came to help pack! Jeff Mattingly (L) and Todd Matonich had fun taping boxes. Thanks Guys! JMattingly will be creating a bourbon in AaSP’s name this year

Salute 12 is Coming October 16th
This year’s theme for the Salute to American Heroes Gala is “Our Heroes Wear Dog Tags.”
Salute is a night of Pageantry, Patriotism and Entertainment – with cocktail hour, live and silent auctions, dinner and dancing. And those who buy items in the auction and/or donate to the cause get an Official Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon Dog Tag.
Location
Glenpointe Marriott in Teaneck, NJ.
The Gala and hotel are at the same location this year, and will be more convenient for our guests who stay over.
More Info
For more info on how you can be a sponsor; help with expenses; reserve a seat or table; or donate an auction item, please contact: saluteinfo@aasp.vet
More details will follow.
2024 Events
Annual Christmas Tree Send Off
We partner with our friends at DHL to transport, pack, and ship live Christmas trees oversees. We enjoy giving soldiers a sense of normalcy for the holidays, and sometimes something as simple as a tree can make all the difference.
Subaru ‘Share The Love’ Event
AaSP received over $38,000 as a Hometown Hero at last year’s Subaru of America “Share the Love” event at Liberty Subaru (Emerson, NJ).
11th Annual Salute Gala
Every year since 2013 (except for 2020-COVID), AaSP has held its Salute to American Heroes Gala to raise money for our Wounded/Recovering Vets and to bring camaraderie to the AaSP Adoptee family.
Last year, we raised about $120,000.
