GFI Launches Campaign Leading Up to Stand Up for Heroes Event Supporting the Bob Woodruff Foundation
This fall marks the fifth year GFI has supported the Bob Woodruff Foundation and its ReMIND.org campaign. In the coming months, we will once again offer GFI employees and customers the opportunity to support the Bob Woodruff Foundation in its efforts to make a difference in the lives of service members returning from war, especially those who have sustained traumatic brain injuries and combat stress.
In an effort to make this year’s Stand Up for Heroes event even more successful than previous, GFI is introducing several new events which will allow GFI employees to see the results of their generosity first-hand, meet with some of their partner organizations that deliver services and assistance to soldiers and hear directly from soldiers who have benefited from these services.
Stand up for Heroes 2011 Campaign Events are as follows:
