Belgard raised $100,000 as part of its Welcome Home giving initiative to support transitioning troop programs at the USO, a nonprofit organization that supports American service members.
“We knew we had lofty goals in trying to raise this amount by Veterans Day, but we were confident our employees, customers and stakeholders shared our commitment to honoring the servicemen and women of this country,” said Erica Breazeale, consumer marketing manager for Belgard. “We are honored to have a partnership with such a significant organization and look forward to continuing to work with the USO to express our gratitude for those who have given so much for our nation.”
Belgard partnered with the USO for Welcome Home in March with the ultimate goal of raising $100,000 by Veterans Day. Over the past eight months, Belgard has made individual donations in amounts ranging from $100 to $500 for every paver project installed during this time and other trade partner actions.
These funds will support USO programs that provide services including helping troops create a strong resume, networking with employers and creating a more functional home environment.
