Yokota Air Base – Throughout April, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is saluting America’s youngest heroes at Yokota with free events, activities and an exclusive sweepstakes during the Month of the Military Child.
Starting April 1, the Yokota Exchange will give away military “brat patches.” Military children can pick up the collectible patch, an exclusive accessory designed by the Exchange for military children since 2017, at checkout while supplies last.
“Military children serve an important role, and the Exchange is honored to celebrate their service and sacrifice,” said Yokota Exchange General Manager Andrew Defelice. “America’s youngest heroes at Yokota can join in the fun at the Exchange with free activities, events and a chance to win cool prizes all month long.”
Events and offers include:
· An exclusive sweepstakes giving away more than $23,000 in top trending toys and Exchange gift cards to military kids. Authorized shoppers 18 and older can enter on their favorite military child’s behalf at ShopMyExchange.com/sweepstakes through May 2.
· In-store events for military kids to gather with friends and try out the latest games and toys at select stores: Play-Doh, Furby Furblets and Hasbro Gaming Event on April 13; Disney Princess Event on April 20; Month of the Military Child and Marvel Event on April 27; and Star Wars Event on May 4.
