FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MorganFranklin Corp. Joins America Supports You and
Helps Wounded Warrior Project, an America Supports You Member
McLean, Virginia — September 6, 2006
MorganFranklin Corporation announced that it is joining America Supports You, an ongoing, nationwide Department of Defense program designed to showcase and communicate America’s support of the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families.
The MorganFranklin Wounded Warrior Project Invitational Golf Tournament, now in its second year, was established to help honor our nation’s greatest citizens, those men and women in the armed forces who must transition to civilian life because of serious injuries sustained during active duty in the service of our nation. The 2005 MorganFranklin tournament yielded $20,000 for the cause. The company hopes to increase that contribution amount significantly this year.
“It is important to give back to the community,” said Robert Morgan, MorganFranklin CEO, “particularly to the military community that has been instrumental in MorganFranklin’s success.”
The Wounded Warrior Project, a member organization of America Supports You, needs financial support to assist the organization in its mission to connect veterans with the services of the Department of Veterans Affairs, represent veterans on local and national legislative issues, ensure equal hiring opportunities and provide veterans with various outreach services. The MorganFranklin Wounded Warrior Project Invitational Golf Tournament takes place September 13, 2006, at The Courses at Andrews Air Force Base. Tee time is 2:00 p.m.
“With the help of MorganFranklin our America Supports You team member Wounded Warrior Project will receive a much needed contribution from this second annual golf tournament,” said Allison Barber, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs. “I am pleased that our new corporate team member MorganFranklin will continue to support our men and women in uniform and their families by connecting them to important programs like Wounded Warrior Project.”
MorganFranklin is committed to helping America Supports You raise awareness of its mission and those of its member organizations throughout the year by distributing America Supports You information at company hosted business breakfast meetings for corporate leaders, and at their annual industry conventions.
As a sponsor of the Washington Capitals’ Salute to the Military Night on January 19, 2006, MorganFranklin demonstrated its commitment to honoring U.S. service men and women around the world, and looks forward to supporting similar military appreciation events in the coming months.
