“We must never forget the cost of freedom,” said Brea Kratzert Todd, WWP vice president of business development. “Support from partners like Boscov’s make it possible for Wounded Warrior Project to be there for warriors throughout their lifetime, providing life-changing programs and resources.”
“At Hope For The Warriors, it warms our hearts to work with like-minded businesses who honor those who we’ve lost in service, and those that continue to serve, including their families,” said Robin Kelleher, founder and CEO, Hope For The Warriors.
“Boscov’s partnership this Memorial Day is making a powerful impact at a critical time. With more children of fallen service members reaching college age, the need for support has never been greater. Thanks to Boscov’s generosity, these scholars can pursue their dreams through education and beyond — building brighter futures and creating lasting change for their families and communities. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to our mission,” said David Kim, co-founder and CEO, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation.
