HAECO Americas has helped raise more than US$60,000 to support the Piedmont Chapter of Purple Heart Homes, an organisation dedicated to providing housing solutions and pathways toward an improved quality of life for disabled military veterans.
HAECO Americas’ second annual Purple Heart Homes Charity Golf Fundraiser was held on 20 June in Greensboro. The company partnered with local businesses and the community to raise funds through the tournament, raffle events and other charitable giving. Proceeds will be used for improvements to two local transitional homes for homeless, disabled veterans. These homes help prepare veterans to find and sustain permanent housing through career assistance, medical care and rehabilitation.
Around 40% of HAECO Americas employees are veterans or actively involved with the military, and such ties make this patriotic cause especially meaningful for the company. HAECO Americas will continue to actively support Purple Heart Homes, to help bring attention to veterans’ issues in the community.
