Troy Yocum to support "Hike for Heroes,? Yocum's personal mission to walk 7,000 miles across
America to raise funds and awareness for military families in need. A recent survey by non-profit and
government agencies revealed one out of three military families have trouble meeting monthly bills. In
response, from June 15 ? July 31, Party City is conducting a nationwide in-store donation drive to
support "Hike for Heroes,? and Party City customers can support Yocum's incredible journey and
military families with dollar donations collected at any of Party City's nearly 700 retail stores.
Yocum began his journey with his wife, Mareike, and their "SuperDog,? Emmie, on April 17, 2010 after returning home from Iraq. So far, Yocum has hiked through 31 states and 38 major cities while literally "drumming? up support by beating on a small drum. This soldier's heartfelt hike will come to an end in Louisville, KY on September 3, 2011.
In addition to sponsoring Hike for Heroes, Party City is honoring and supporting members of the U.S. military by launching a military discount program. Lisa Laube, President of Party City, announced, "Party City wants to show our deep appreciation and gratitude to the brave men and women who serve our country by providing a 10 percent discount to help them celebrate all of life's special moments.?
