CBF is proud to support the Pinup Angels!!

Picture
The Pinup Angels are "Pinups Supporting Our Troops".  The Pinup Angels were founded by Miss Kitty Baby, a U.S. Marine and pin-up girl.  We are currently staffed by a team of hardworking pin-up girls from all over the USA.     Having sent care packages since the Iraq war started, we were looking for a new way to raise funds to pay for the contents and postage of the packages.  The idea of ‘putting our pin-ups to work’ seemed like it might be a viable fundraiser.  Our fun images now help us raise money to fund and mail care packages.  The Pinup Angels staff are not only models, but they are the driving force behind all of the boxes packed and they work the events we appear at.  We are also grateful to have help and support from countless individuals in our communities that are not on our immediate staff.

Our care package recipients are typically deployed servicemen and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard.
