MISSION BBQ donates $47,418 to Semper Fi & America's Fund
Woodbridge, VA: On Saturday, July 18, MISSION BBQ will present a donation of $47,418 to Semper Fi & America's Fund. This donation was made possible by the generous support of their customers when they purchased an American Heroes Cup during 2019. Available at the Jacksonville, NC, Stafford, VA and Woodbridge, VA locations, $2 from the purchase of an American Heroes Cup contributed to the Semper Fi & America's Fund. Brandon Jordan, General Manager at the Woodbridge MISSION BBQ will be presenting the check to Semper Fi & America's Fund representative Laura Castellvi, Director, Community Outreach.
The partnership between the Semper Fi & America's Fund and MISSION BBQ began in March 2016 and this year's donation will contribute to a total of over $205,000 for the veteran assistance organization. Co-founders Bill Kraus and Steve Newton could not be prouder to support the national military charity. "It's our honor and privilege to Serve and Support such a respected and giving organization like the Semper Fi & America's Fund. Their volunteers, programs, and dedicated efforts have tirelessly supported America's Heroes," said Steve Newton.
"MISSION BBQ'S heart, soul, and passion for our Veterans deeply touches all of us at The Semper Fi & America's Fund. We are blessed to have them with us on our journey to care for those who have sacrificed so much in the service of our Nation. Together, we are accomplishing great things for our wounded, ill, and injured service members from all branches of the armed forces—we cannot wait to see what comes next. Thank you, MISSION BBQ!" said Karen Guenther, President, CEO and Founder of Semper Fi & America's Fund.
