Folds of Honor receives $50,000 donation from Grainger for higher education scholarships
Proceeds from Grainger merchandise sales at the 2018 Grainger Show to be put toward education for military families
Folds of Honor, the nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to families of fallen and disabled service members, is pleased to announce that it is the recipient of $50,000 from Grainger, North America’s leading broad line supplier of maintenance, repair and operating products, to be put toward its Higher Education Scholarship program. The donation was announced in conjunction with the 2018 Grainger Show, a trade show organized for the company’s customers, suppliers and team members, which was held in Orlando earlier this year. For every dollar of sales made through its “Big Red Store” during the show, Grainger pledged to donate one dollar, up to $50,000, to Folds of Honor.
“We couldn’t do what we do for our amazing military families without the generosity of organizations like Grainger,” said Folds of Honor Founder Major Dan Rooney. “We are incredibly grateful for this commitment. With Grainger’s donation, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of brave military families nationwide immediately as this contribution will be allocated in our 2018 scholarship distribution.”
