STIHL Dealers Raise More Than $67,000 to Support Veterans
STIHL, on behalf of its more than 8500 dealers, recently presented a check for $67,000 to the Resurrecting Lives Foundation (RLF), a nonprofit focused on raising money to assist Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
“This donation is the single largest contribution our foundation has ever received, and will make a real impact on our work,” said Chrisanne Gordon, founder and executive director of Resurrecting Lives Foundation. “We are so grateful to the STIHL dealers for their generous support to help our returning Veterans.”
Participating STIHL dealers raised money through stock purchases of American-made Resurrecting Lives Foundation shirts and caps through the STIHL OUTFITTERS program, the apparel line for STIHL.
“2015 was the first year for the program and we were extremely happy with the results,” said Mike Haney, merchandising specialist for STIHL Inc. “Next year we will further expand our marketing support for the campaign.”
Resurrecting Lives Foundation assists in the recovery and reintegration of Veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom who are suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
“STIHL is honored to help the Resurrecting Lives Foundation connect Veterans with the support they need and make a difference in the lives of these American heroes,” said Nick Jiannas, vice president of sales and marketing for STIHL Inc.
