Coast Professional to Hold Fundraiser for Military Veterans

ARMing Heroes is pleased to announce that Coast Professional, Inc. will hold a fundraiser to support military veterans during the upcoming months of April and May.

During this two-month drive to raise money for military veterans who are facing financial difficulties, Coast will be rewarding any employees who make a donation above a known threshold with dress down days for that month.  The company itself has also made a significant financial pledge to the organization over and above the generosity of its employees.

Funds raised by Coast will largely be used to help veterans and qualified spouses like past ARMing Heroes grant recipients Daniel Smith and Terry Hardin.

“We are proud to have Coast Professional as a corporate sponsor,” said Nick Bernardo III, board president of ARMing Heroes, continuing, “with higher education debts now a major source of financial pressure on American families, including many military families, it’s great to see Coast leading the charge to help our veterans in the same way it has shown leadership in other areas.  We encourage others in the student loan industry hold similar employee-oriented drives this year for our veterans.”

Chief Operating Officer Roxanne Baker added, “Coast Professional is both excited and honored to support our service men and women who defend our country and the freedoms we all hold so dear.  We feel both a duty and an obligation as an organization to assist in any way possible to ensure that our armed forces are fully supported both while they are actively serving and after they return home to their families.  The Coast team is thankful for the ability to ‘pay it forward’ and donate to such a fine charity.”
