Products for Good (PFG) recently announced a new fund raising partnership with the Folds of Honor Foundation (FHF) to generate scholarship funds for the families of our wounded and fallen military called Patriot Mark (www.patriotmark.com). Products for Good sells a line of patriotic products featuring Iraqi coins that were recovered by coalition forces in the bank vaults in Basra (www.productsforgood.com). The products are assembled in the US, by physically and mentally challenged individuals, creating up to 150 jobs at peak production. A portion of the proceeds from each sale are donated directly to charities that support wounded veterans and their families.
The Folds of Honor Foundation (www.foldsofhonor.org) in partnership with the PGA of America and USGA raises money for educational scholarships, which are awarded each year to family members of military service men and women who have been wounded or killed while serving our nation. FHF's largest fundraiser of the year is its Patriot Day Golf event, where the 28,000 PGA Golf Professionals and golfers from all over the country add an extra dollar or more to their green fee on Labor Day weekend, which is given directly to FHF for its distribution of scholarship funds.
On Independence Day, the two organizations came together to form a fund raising partnership, creating Patriot Mark (www.patriotmark.com), whose goal is to sell PFG products and create scholarship funds that FHF will distribute. Patriot Mark's goal is to generate over $4 million in scholarship funds over the next twelve months! The flagship product in this new partnership is the Patriot Mark, a golf ball mark, which features a decommissioned Iraqi coin taken directly from the PFG historic collection. Together, the two organizations are taking what was at one time Saddam's property, and using it to create scholarships for the families of our wounded and fallen heroes!
Says PFG co-founder Lane Ostrow, "We are thrilled to be teaming with the Folds of Honor Foundation in its mission to create scholarships for the families of wounded and fallen veterans. Bar none, the greatest gift we can provide to a wounded or fallen veteran is to make sure his/her family is given the opportunity of obtaining an education. Patriotic Americans buying the Patriot Mark, or any of the other Products for Good products, will be helping to make sure we are able to support the FHF goal to provide educational opportunities for the 80,000+ dependents of our wounded and fallen military."
Dan Rooney, Founder and President of the Folds of Honor Foundation and PGA of America Golf Professional adds, "The commitment of partnerships like Patriot Mark allow us to make sure that no family member is left behind and that the families of our wounded and fallen truly understand how much we appreciate the sacrifices made by their service member."
