PLYMOUTH, Minn.–To support veterans during November, TruStone Financial Credit Union employees raised $500 for Tee It Up for the Troops with its Casual for a Cause fundraiser, with the TruStone Financial Foundation contributing an additional $5,000.
This company-wide fundraiser gives employees the opportunity to wear jeans in exchange for a donation to a designated charity, the CU said.
Tee It Up for the Troops is a national non-profit organization, headquartered in Minnesota, supporting programs that deliver critically needed services to help veterans transition from the battlefront to the home front.
Tee It Up for the Troops focuses on six core pillars that positively impact veterans including PTSD support, Employment, Suicide Prevention and Sports Rehabilitation.
“We strive to make a direct impact in our communities,” says TruStone Financial Foundation Chairman Samuel Stern. “The employee contributions, along with the donation from the TruStone Financial Foundation, will bring well-deserved support to the veterans who need it most.”
