Congratulations!
We Salute You
Congratulations to our own Russ Spicer, CEO and Founder of the Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes, for being selected by the Emily Geiger Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to receive their 2022 Community Service Award.
Joined by several LFWMH Board/Committee Members and his proud wife, Karen, Russ was presented with the service award by Krista Taracuk, Regent NCDAR on November 10th, at the Palmetto Electric Company.
Designed to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the community, especially in support of our local military personnel, we couldn’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor. Russ’ contributions have impacted not only those in the Bluffton community, but soldiers and their families who have a connection with the Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia’s Coastal Empire.
On behalf of everyone involved with our Foundation, especially those who have and will benefit from your initiative and support, we “SALUTE” you and thank you for all you have done. You have touched more lives than you can ever imagine.
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!

A Wonderful Evening for a Great Cause
Thank you!
On October 20th, the newly opened Victoria's Treasures hosted a Wine Tasting and Home Decor Event at their store, with the ticket proceeds benefitting the
Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes.
All who attended had a great time tasting wines and flavorful treats (thank you tacarÓn!), as they enjoyed live music and shopping. We send out our gratitude to the hosts and guests for the opportunity to get together and raise funds for this cause so close to our hearts - our Wounded Heroes. Thank you so much!
