DISH NETWORK AND VFW FOUNDATION JOIN FORCES TO 'RETURN THE FAVOR'
'We could not be more excited to be partnering'
October 31, 2011
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation is pleased to announce it will be joining forces with television entertainment provider DISH Network to continue its support of members of the military, veterans and their families. DISH Network’s sponsorship supports the VFW Foundation’s Return the Favor campaign, which honors, celebrates, and supports active-duty military, veterans, and their families.
“We could not be more excited to be partnering with such a well-respected corporation who clearly understands the need to support our nation’s military,” said VFW Foundation Director John Lowe. “If it were not for the support of great corporate sponsors such as DISH Network, we would not be able to continue to assist our country’s heroes on a daily basis. This sponsorship reflects DISH Network’s commitment to those who have served and continue to serve our great nation.”
The VFW Foundation’s Return the Favor campaign supports programs and services that provide emergency financial assistance for military families, free phone calls for deployed troops, VIP treatment for service members and their families at entertainment events, critical services that guide veterans through VA entitlement claims, and morale boosting events for military units.
“DISH Network is proud to support veterans and troops through its contribution to the VFW’s Return the Favor campaign,” said Trevor McGraw, head of community sponsorships for DISH Network. “This campaign helps meet the needs of the men and women who make significant sacrifices personally and financially to serve our nation.”
