A new not-for-profit organization, Beyond Tribute, looks to celebrate Memorial Day and Veterans Day in ways that provide meaningful support to veterans. Businesses can register to be part of a sales building program that commits them to contributing a certain percentage or amount of their sales proceeds to assist wounded veterans. Individuals also can make a contribution to assist a wounded soldier.
Here's the message from their web site:
Beyond Tribute is a not-for-profit organization that has brought together leaders from business, the arts, veterans and civic groups, and just plain citizens to change how we celebrate Memorial Day and Veterans Day - to turn holiday sales promotions into fundraising engines that actually help our wounded veterans and their families. It is that simple.
Our mission is to redefine our Memorial Day and Veterans Day holidays by engaging the American business community and its customers in a national campaign that will raise charitable dollars to benefit those who are struggling with the wounds of war, including the invisible wounds: PTSD, traumatic brain injury and combat-induced anxiety and depression. Funds raised go directly to top rated charities that help veterans in need throughout the USA.
Stumble It!
