Fun for Our Troops is a nonprofit organization (501c3 status pending). Our mission is to provide high-tech, interactive FUN to the men and women serving abroad to protect our freedom, in the form of gaming systems. We believe that our contributions will aid in stress relief, relaxation, and the overall well-being of our troops. Our intention is for each recipient to not only share his gift with other service men and women but to pass the gaming system along to a member of the unit that will remain abroad after his/her safe return home.

the story behind the project
Our founder, Stefanie Shea, recently married SGT Michael Shea who became stop-lossed and is now serving his second tour in Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division. Despite his contract expiring mere weeks after he was scheduled to deploy, SGT Shea was sent overseas to serve the entire fifteen-month deployment. He, like many others, will miss two Halloweens, two Thanksgivings, and two Christmases, and two New Years. Stefanie wanted to do something special for her husband and the other service men and women serving overseas. After speaking with her husband, Stefanie learned that what the service men and women truly need is fun, relaxation, and an overall way to decompress. Luckily, the high-tech game systems of the 21st century can do just that! Stefanie embarked on a grassroots campaign to send these systems overseas to deserving troops. Stefanie asked Dana Brady, to lend her expertise to the cause. Dana partnered with Stefanie to establish "Fun for Our Troops," a non-profit organization (501c3 status pending). Dana has a special connection to our troops, as her husband, Jason M. Brady served in the First Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and still has many friends in the military.
