We are the Nimitz Chief Selectees

Welcome to the USS Nimitz FY09 CPO Selectees fundraising page. As newly selected Chief Petty Officers, we go through a grueling six week training and induction period prior to receiving our anchors on September 16th. One of our required tasks is to raise money to assist us in paying for our brand new uniforms, the pinning ceremony, and our Khaki Ball. This site aims to assist us in reaching our final money goal of $32,000, or about $1000 per CPO selectee. So far, we have raised approximately $15,000, putting us nearly halfway to our goal. Since we are already halfway complete with the induction season, we find ourselves slightly behind the curve. This is where you come in.

Any money you are able to donate is greatly appreciated! We aren't asking for much. As Chief Selects, we are already hard at work raising money through car washes, food/bake sales, auctions, and much more. This fundraising web page is just another means to the end. It will help our families and friends from around the country to easily donate. Simply click on the button to the right to transfer your donation via PayPal.

We will provide updates of our progress for you as often as we can on this web page. Please keep a bookmark. We will provide pictures of what activities we have done to document our efforts at raising the $32,000. Thank you very much for your donation!

Special Thanks to those who have contributed:

The End of the Beginning

The final weekend of the induction season is upon us. Thanks to the two people who used this site to donate, and thanks to all of the others who have donated money and time to help us during this entire induction season. We spend this weekend preparing for our final test: Rites of Passage. This is a secret ritual that will test our abilities as teammates and as individuals. Once we make it through the night, we will all be pinned as Chiefs, wearing our new khaki uniforms proudly. Of course, the challenge doesn't end there. Induction season only serves to prepare us for what lies ahead in our new positions of authority. I know we are ready to face the challenge head on.
