VET FOUNDATION COLLABORATES WITH WEB-BASED MARKETING COMPANY
Nonprofit Aims to Help Wounded Veterans with Vehicle and In-Kind Donations
The Veteran Employment Transition (VET) Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit providing career advancement and transition assistance to returning veterans, today announced an agreement with Hot Web Properties of Palm Harbor to facilitate the sales and marketing of vehicle and in-kind donations. Designated proceeds from the sale of the donations will directly support combat wounded "War on Terror" veterans who attend the nonprofit's 2009 COMPASS Transition Programs.
"A struggling economy has led our organization to explore in-kind donations as a means to generate revenue to support our program," said VET Foundation Founder and Executive Director Chris Hadsall. "Supporters may not have the ability to provide monetary gifts, but many have expressed an interest in donating fine art, automobiles and property to help wounded warriors. We are pleased that Hot Web Properties is willing to assist the VET Foundation with this exciting initiative."
