華盛頓,2024年10月7日 /PRNewswire/ — 美國癱瘓退伍軍人協會是美國首屈一指的殘疾退伍軍人及其家屬和護理人員的首選非營利組織,以及長期合作伙伴Weis Markets最近啓動了爲期四周的年度彙總活動。店內促銷以支持患有脊髓損傷和疾病(例如多發性硬化症和肌萎縮性側索硬化症)的退伍軍人爲中心,鼓勵顧客加入使命,幫助殘疾退伍軍人獲得他們所獲得和應得的護理、福利和職業。
"Our October campaign with Weis Markets has become an annual tradition – a time of year when we come together, reflect on Veterans Day, and unite supporters around PVA's lifesaving mission," said Carl Blake, CEO of PVA. "Their selflessness and support enable us to continue providing the vital research, expertise, and advocacy our disabled veterans need, so they can get back to the things in life that matter. Thanks to Weis Markets, and partners like them, PVA has provided these services and more, free of charge for more than 78 years. We're forever grateful for their continued partnership."
PVA首席執行官卡爾·布雷克說:「我們在10月與Weis Markets合作的活動已成爲一年一度的傳統——每年的這個時候,我們聚集一堂,反思退伍軍人節,團結支持者圍繞PVA的救生使命。」「他們的無私和支持使我們能夠繼續爲殘疾退伍軍人提供所需的重要研究、專業知識和宣傳,使他們能夠重返生活中重要的事物。多虧了Weis Markets以及像他們這樣的合作伙伴,PVA免費提供這些服務及更多服務已超過78年。我們永遠感謝他們的持續合作。」
During in-store purchases, Weis Markets and its associates are encouraging customers to make donations at check-out by rounding up their orders or purchasing $1, $3, or $5 vouchers today through Halloween. Customers can also donate by rounding up their purchases when using self-checkout.
在店內購物期間,Weis Markets及其員工鼓勵顧客在結賬時通過彙總訂單或在萬聖節之前購買1美元、3美元或5美元的代金券來捐款。客戶還可以在使用自助結賬時通過四捨五入購買的商品來捐款。
"Our associates and customers have supported PVA for more than eight years and generously donated more than three million dollars," said Bob Gleeson, Weis Markets Senior Vice President of Merchandising and Marketing. "We encourage everyone to visit a local store this month and join us in helping all veterans gain access to what they need most."
Weis Markets銷售和營銷高級副總裁鮑勃·格里森說:「我們的員工和客戶支持PVA已超過八年,並慷慨捐贈了超過300萬美元。」「我們鼓勵每個人在本月光顧當地商店,加入我們的行列,幫助所有退伍軍人獲得他們最需要的東西。」
PVA's partnership with Weis Markets dates back to 2016 and has amassed more than $3 million. It also includes involvement in vital PVA programming, like its Honor the Spot public service announcement, which was filmed in the parking lot of their Brunswick, Maryland store and raises awareness about the importance of accessible parking spaces. This PSA is still in rotation today.
