Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes

Shop at Amazon...Raise Funds for the LFWMH!

Here's How...

 Attention ALL Amazon Shoppers:

Experience feel-good shopping while donating to LFWMH!


The Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes ( LFWMH), is a partner of the AmazonSmile charitable program. Some of our supporters are already familiar with this program (thank you!) but, for those who are not, Amazon offers you an easy way to donate 0.5% of all qualified Amazon purchases to the LFWMH, at no cost to you! 


You basically shop exactly as you do with Amazon today. 

The primary difference lies in your initial, one-time setup. 

To get started, for the FIRST TIME ONLY, follow these easy steps:


1. In your browser – on your phone, tablet, or PC -- visit  smile.amazon.com. 


2. Sign in with the same account credentials you use for amazon.com.


3. You will either be asked to search for your favorite charity (Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes), or you will be asked to select us from the list of participating charities. 


4. Once you’ve selected us as your charity of choice, just shop like you would if you were on amazon.com. The products, pricing, options, EVERYTHING, is the same as it is on amazon.com. 


After setting the LFWMH up on your first visit to smile.amazon.com, 

we recommend doing the following:


1. If you use the Amazon mobile app; 

A) Open the app. 

B) Find “Settings” in the main menu. 

C) Tap on “AmazonSmile” then follow the on-screen prompts to turn on AmazonSmile on your phone. 


NOTE: Once you’ve done this the first time, you’re all set. No need to do it again.


2. If you prefer to shop via a browser on your tablet or PC, 

A) Before leaving the smile.amazon.com site, find your option to bookmark the smile.amazon.com site—if you shop via Amazon frequently, you can set this site as a “Favorite.”


It’s easy, it’s free, it’s “IDENTICAL” to shopping at amazon.com, 

SO…

If enough of us use it, it’s like free money for the Wounded Heroes we work every day to support. 


For help with your Amazon Smile setup, please contact Pete Doukas at 843-368-2903.


As always, we are most thankful for your support!

Latest News - The Numbers Are In!

When we think back to when the Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes first began, we are reminded of the goal that was foremost in our minds and hearts - to find ways to help and support both combat wounded veterans and active duty combat wounded servicemen and servicewomen in the Lowcountry. The founding group of dedicated volunteers was small but has steadily grown over the years as the number of people that have given their time, expertise and financial support expands. Russ Spicer, LFWMH Chairman, says it best, “We have truly evolved into a Lowcountry foundation, supported by most local communities, stretching from the South Carolina Lowcountry to Coastal Georgia geographical areas.” 


Now into our eleventh year, the goal remains strong as has the support of so many, allowing the LFWMH to expand and extend the outreach vital to the combat wounded servicemen and servicewomen who have given so very much to secure the freedoms we all enjoy. 


One of the ways we show our gratitude is by hosting combat wounded veterans and active duty combat wounded servicemen and servicewomen at our annual Golf Classic. This year we were privileged to spend the day with 60+ Heroes; to hear their stories, the journeys they have taken, the challenges they face, is to understand the profound sacrifices they have made. 


The other way we show our gratitude is through dedicated fundraising that allows us to support programs that can make a lasting difference in their lives. So, it is with humble hearts and no small measure of gratitude that we thank you all for your support and share the results of this year’s LFWMH fundraising initiatives with you.


On Monday, August 2nd, LFWMH’s Board and many Committee Members traveled to 

Ponte Vedra, Florida, to deliver a check to Birdies for The Brave, the PGA Tour Charity, in the amount of $185,000. 


PGA Tour Manager, Justin Johns, shared that “These funds will be invaluable, particularly during such a challenging year, in helping these outstanding military charities achieve their shared mission of giving back to those who selflessly serve our country.” He continued, “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with the Lowcountry Foundation and continue to be amazed by the passion and dedication of all those involved.”


This year’s donation will be allocated in the following way: 

$ 75,000  K9’s for Warriors 

(Will sponsor 3 service canines)

$ 65,000 Special Operations Warrior Foundation 

(This will be the 5th scholarship LFWMH has sponsored for a child who has lost a parent in the line of duty)

$ 25,000 Military Warrior Support Foundation

(Home sponsorship program)

$ 15,000 Operation Shower

(We continued our support of Baby Showers for Service Members 

with a $500 gift earlier this year); 

This additional gift will be used at the 2022 Baby Shower @ RBC Heritage)

$ 2,500 Navy Seal Foundation

$ 2,500 Green Beret Foundation

$185,000


This year’s cumulative income brings the LFWMH’s eleven-year gift total to $1,535,500; a number that has been made possible because of the dedication and generosity of many. The life altering injuries these men and women receive while in service to our country are reminders that freedom has a very real price. We are honored that you have joined us in making sure that their sacrifice is not forgotten, and that they can rely on us to support their difficult journey.


Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
