Home Depot/MVH Minneapolis Celebration of Service
“Giving Back”, “Taking Care of One Another”, “Doing the Right Thing”. “These are the values that drive volunteer and philanthropic efforts in our communities and these are the values that drive The Home Depot and The Home Depot Foundation”. Well spoken words from Patrick J. McGraw, Regional Associate Relations Manager at Home Depot during their closing ceremony this past week at MVH-Mpls.
This fall, a grant from The Home Depot Foundation was received to do some landscaping, build raised flower/vegetable beds and much more. This past week, over 90 Home Depot Associate-Volunteers, through “Team Depot” amplified the funding by providing their time and talents to make the project come alive.
But, there’s the possibility of MORE…. With your vote, MVH-Mpls. has the chance to win another $25,000.00 to further our dreams of creating more home-like social settings for our Veterans.
Log on to www.homedepotfoundation.org to vote for the project who best served Veterans in our community.
PING is proud to be involved with the Wounded Warriors Sports Project. The Project is currently partnering with PGA of America to offer golf lessons at five of the major military medical centers in the U.S. The format involves running an eight week long course where Warriors receive instruction from PGA professionals that have been trained in adaptive teaching techniques. Those wounded warriors who attend at least six of the training sessions and have a permanent severe disability receive a full bag of custom-fit and custom-built PING golf clubs. If you would like additional information on the Wounded Warrior Sports Project, please feel free to contact that organization at (904) 296-7350 or visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
