…. Hello Friends, I am David Hawkins, I am the Founder and CEO of HAWKS FRIENDS, Inc., a 501(c)3 Nonprofit that I started to give back to our Local Veterans. I have
lived in Tallahassee Florida for 59 Years, it is my Home. I have many Relatives that have served in the Armed Forces as well as several immediate Family members
…. I started "HAWKS FRIENDS" several Years ago but put it on hold because I have been running for Office starting with the 2016 Elections. Since it is just
me at this time, I am doing what I can to get it started the best that I can. Once we get up and running, we will be dedicated to helping our local Military Veterans. Starting out small, I
have a couple of ideas to raise the needed funds to what we are wanting to accomplish.
…. The first idea is to seek 500 Donations of just $300 each and one of those Donners will be given a very cool Mustang. We hope to do this Annually. The Second
Idea is to contact Local Businesses and talk them into allowing us to print special 20% Off Coupons to put in a Coupon Book that we will sell to the Public. Our Goal is NOT to ask the
Government for any Money.
I am planning two special Annual Events, The FIRST will be a NEW YEARS EVE BALL and the SECOND will be a MEMORIAL DAY SOCIAL. I feel we cannot do enough for our
Veterans
…. I have also decided to add to HAWKS FRIENDS with a special Program to help a lot more People, not just our Veterans. I recently bought a few Enclosed Trailers
for special Projects and this idea popped in my Head about using Trailers to help People in Need. The Program will be called "Trailers Of HOPE". The idea is to announce where one or
more of the Trailers will be for People who would like to Donate for that Cause. the 4x6 Enclosed Trailers will cost $3,600 each and will be used to collect New Stuffed Animals (10 to 20
inches tall) which we will distribute them between the different Law Enforcement Agencies so their Officers can give them to Kids they encounter at a Crash they roll up on. The Stuffed
Animals helps the Child a lot. The 6x12 Enclosed Trailers cost $4,200 each and will be used to Collect and Distribute donated items such as Box Fans in the Summer for the Elderly and Coats,
Blankets and Heaters in the Winter for the Elderly and Homeless. The 7x18 Enclosed Trailers will cost $7,600 and will be used to help out during bigger needs such as Hurricanes and other
Major Storms to help Collect and Distribute Water, Food and other needed Supplies.
…. On the rear Door of the two Trailers that I bought and Donated will be a special message: " This Trailer was Donated by: David T. Hawkins ". I will be
needing about 3 of the 4x6 Trailers, about 3 of the 6x12 Trailers and 2 of the bigger 7x18 Trailers. If a Business would like to Donate the cost of a Trailer and have their Name forever
seen on that Trailer, we would be forever grateful to you. I chose Bright Pink for the Trailers for several reasons, to make them stand out and easy to locate, it is a soothing color, it
is a color of Hope and it is a color less likely to be stolen.
…. I will be contacting Businesses soon in hopes of getting permission to sit in their Parking Lot for a few Hours on a Saturday or Sunday so People can drop off Items.
I will be starting with the Stuffed Animals. I will post on here and on Social Media sites where I will be and when. Any Donations will help, Thank You and God Bless.
TRAILERS OF HOPE
THE COUPON BOOK
To raise the needed funding, I am choosing not to beg our Government for it. Instead, I am taking an idea from my School Days back the 70s & 80s and will be Creating
and Printing 3000 special Coupon Books filled with about 100 Coupons offering 20% to 50% off Services and Products. I am seeking your Permission to include your Businesses in the Coupon Books.
Since this will be the first Coupon Book, the plan is to have the Coupons expire December 31, 2027 and will not be valid with other Offers or Coupons.
The goal is to start off by printing just 3000 Coupon Books that have 20% to 50% Off Coupons from about 300 Businesses. The Coupon Books will then be sold for just
$50 each where the Money goes to HAWKS FRIENDS to keep it going as well as advertising, Printing and marketing the Coupon Books as well as the participating Businesses. There will also be a
special Coupon inside each Coupon Book that the Purchasers of the Book get to fill out and send in where one of them will be chosen to receive a very special Gift from HAWKS FRIENDS.
I see a lot of 20% to 50% off Coupons by local Businesses in Print and on Social Media, but these Coupons will not only bring you Customers but they will be helping
Local Veterans. I will be selling the Coupon Books in Person and On Line. The very special Gift will be revealed on our Web Site after the 2500th Book sells. I hope to do this every Year.
Please Call David with any questions at 850-294-9491 just do not ask what the Prize is.
