ALEXANDRIA, Va.—With a gift of $200,000, PenFed has become the first corporate donor to the USO’s recently-launched Force Behind the Forces—a $7.5 million challenge campaign fundraising effort that includes plans to construct or renovate more than 35 USO centers.
According to PenFed, these new and refurbished centers will enable the USO to always be by the side of the nation’s defenders—from the moment they begin military service, through deployments and other overseas postings, and as they transition back into civilian communities.
“PenFed is proud to support the USO as it celebrates 75 years of boosting the morale of our military service members by providing them with a taste of home, regardless of how far away their service to the nation takes them,” said PenFed President and CEO James Schenck.
PenFed Credit Union, Deloitte LLP and the National Football League will be recognized as Chairman’s Circle donors by the USO during its 75th Anniversary Gala, Oct. 20 in Washington.
