On this special day, we want to take a moment to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. We are forever grateful and will remember what you did to keep us safe. Here are a few ways we can recognize Memorial Day: • Moment of Silence: On Memorial Day, our Veteran’s Employee Resource Group asks you to consider pausing and observing a moment of silence and reflection. • Share Stories: Memorial Day offers an opportunity to learn about the courageous individuals who fought for our country. • Support Charitable Organizations: Consider organizing a charitable initiative to support veterans or military families in need. Whether it's fundraising, volunteering, or donating, we can make a positive impact and show our support for those affected by the loss of loved ones. By acknowledging Memorial Day, we demonstrate our commitment to our values as a company and show our support for the military community. #MemorialDay #AxcessStaffing #AxcessCares

We are excited to kick off Freetrail's 3rd annual Memorial Day Fundraiser supporting Wounded Warrior Project. To date the FT community has helped raise over $7,000 and this year we are hoping to go bigger. We encourage any brand in the trail/running/outdoor space who will be holding a Memorial Day Sale to consider a donation to this effort. Memorial Day of course was originally a moment to honor those who have served their country and did not make it home. Not the unofficial kick off to summer. Or 40% off anything. This isn't meant to shame a company holding a sale. We get it. But please condisder a donation out of your profits. As a reminder this was originally born out our friend Ari Sonnenburg's annual tribute to his friends that he served with in the US Army. This year his effort is a big one. A 75 hour vision quest through the Netherlands to see how far he can go. Every day, 58 injured veterans and their families sign up to receive critical services and support offered by WWP. Thanks to the generosity of people like you, warriors and their families will never pay a penny for these life-changing programs. How can you participate? Oh how many ways! 1. Donate if you are able to. 2. Get your employer to match the donation if that's a perk that they offer. 3. Spread the word on social media with your friends and family (maybe a repost here?) 4. If you are connected to a brand in the outdoor world encourage a donation if they will be offering Memorial Day Sales. Let's encourage them and not shame them but remind them what this holiday is really about 5. Support Ari. Are you connected to a shoe brand? We are looking for a brand to donate shoes and gear to help him with this effort. Any leads are appreciated! 6. Go out and do your own adventure and tell us all about it 7. Host a podcast? Mention this effort! Thanks in advance. Here is the link to our fundraising page - https://lnkd.in/gA8PStTz

It was great to collaborate with industry peers and understand the challenges but also gain feedback on what is such an important subject for so many people across the country. Plus raise so much for a charity that means a lot to my family. Building safety continues to be a ‘hot’ topic but the work we are doing is an opportunity for reflection on how we can incorporate processes into the future projects to get it right first time. Vistry doing the right thing. #buildingsafety #specialprojects

Service - Military, non-profit, charity, helping one other person - all counts as service. Everyone is different and everyone brings something to the equation. When one person serves in a capacity that demonstrates something bigger than themselves - pure gold! I spoke about military service in a recent post that had a lot of engagement, yet service extends beyond that as well. We need to celebrate ALL service. It may not look the same, yet it IS the same in terms of that bigger picture. Taking nothing away whatsoever here from the GREATEST sacrifice of giving life and limb for another or country, only saying that even the smallest act counts. Celebrate that small act of kindness because it matters. Celebrate that one second it takes to smile at someone that may need it even if you don’t feel like smiling yourself. Celebrate that act of listening for five minutes to a friend (or stranger). Know every act of kindness matters, is in service to another, and the #restwillfollow 💪🏻🤘🏻 #leadership #management #personaldevelopment

New insights into Armed Forces charities have been published by the Directory of Social Change and Forces in Mind Trust. The research shows that despite continuing challenges for charities, Armed Forces have continued to deliver robust valuable support to the Armed Forces Community. The report contains evidence, analysis and case studies from across the varying charities that support the Armed Forces community - https://lnkd.in/eE2HYfy6

I’ve talked about the benefits for a brand to support the military as a growth strategy. Some brands simply have it in their DNA. Flying Ace (by CraftCo.), an American-made bourbon brand, has created an educational scholarship program with non-profit organization Folds of Honor. Special point-of-sale materials, including bottle neckers, featuring the partnership logo, will be applied to all bourbon expressions of Flying Ace at over 450 retail locations. These point-of-sale pieces will include a QR code, providing consumers with a convenient way to make donations to Folds of Honor via a dedicated landing page on the Flying Ace website. To break this down, a brand with a military-inspired name has partnered with a charitable organization which supports military (and first responders). Rather than simply throwing money at the charity and putting out a press release, the brand leans into the partnership via their packaging to promote the partnership, the charitable organization, and a call-to-action for individuals to support. The next time you’re standing in front of a shelf looking for something new to try and one brand is outwardly supporting a cause near and dear to you and the another brand is not, which one are you going to take to the checkout line? #MilitaryMarketing #Military #marketing #MilitaryAppreciation

Coming soon! Veterans Day donation matching Stand-To Match Day **Next Monday, November 11, 2024** Stand-To Match Day provides an opportunity for growth for participating organizations that strive to do good works and an opportunity for the community to support these causes. On this day, donations made through the Armed Forces Community Foundation to participating funds will receive a 50% match that can be used for their most crucial needs. The Patterson Family Foundation will award up to $70,000 to AFCF for dollar per dollar raised during match days, with up to $35,000 saved for upcoming community enrichment project opportunities and up to $35,000 for participating organizations. Fundraising goal: War Horses for Veterans is seeking $20,000 in funds to assist us in building a new barn. Our current barn was built in the late 1800’s and has been updated however, lacks the room, storage of equipment, and feeding supplies to meet our current needs. With the growth over the last several years, our addition of more horses and equipment has been steady with the demand of our programs. Currently, we have been using temporary housing in the lower level of our property to house horses. This structure is exposed to the elements all year with open portions of each stall for air flow. The temporary stalls are not ideal, which has caused us not to use all the stalls available due to the deterioration of the structure.
