Interested organizations can contact the Base Exchange at 501-988-1180 for information on scheduling a time to participate.

“Your Holiday Bill Is On Us” 
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is making holiday wishes come true for military shoppers by picking up the tab on their Military Star card up to $8,200 with the “Your Holiday Bill Is On Us” sweepstakes. From Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, shoppers will be automatically entered in the worldwide sweepstakes each time they use their Military Star card to pay for purchases at the Little Rock AFB Exchange or on shopmyexchange.com. Each transaction counts as one entry.  Three grand-prize winners will receive their Military Star card bill paid in full up to $8,200 with a minimum prize of $2,500. Ten second-prize winners will be awarded a $1,000 credit on their Military Star card statement, while 25 third-place winners will earn a $500 credit. Winners with a balance less than their prize amount will receive a credit on their account. “With this sweepstakes, the Exchange is making dreams come true and changing lives,” said General Manager, Al Fuentes. “Just one swipe of a Military Star card is all it takes to enter.”  Winners of the “Your Holiday Bill Is On Us” sweepstakes will be announced on or about Jan. 30.
