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:

A Weekend of Car Washes

It has been a good weekend of fund raising. While the totals from pizza sales this weekend haven't been tallied yet, we do have a count of the money earned at our latest car washes. We acquired a new car wash location in Santee, which has proven to be extremely profitable. After only three hours of work, we accumulated $669!! Pretty sweet! We had two car washes today: one in Imperial Beach and another at the Elks Lodge again. Tentative total from the Imperial Beach car wash is $850. We had a lot of people at this car wash and they worked for five hours total. The Elks Lodge car wash was much more impressive however, earning us $966! We only had nine people at that car wash and we worked for nine hours! Thanks to all of the hard work of the Nimitz Chief Selectees, we earned a grand total of $2485 in car wash fund raising money. A big thanks goes out to Chief Barriga for getting us the Elks Lodge location and help during the car wash.
