Pacific Trellis Fruit Donates $39K to Tunnel to Towers Foundation; Howard Nager Comments
LOS ANGELES, CA - A worthy cause is something our industry will always show up for. Pacific Trellis Fruit lives with this mentality running through its veins, supporting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and recently presenting the foundation with a check for $39,000.
“We are dedicated to supporting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in their mission and are thankful for the opportunity we had to give back this past year,” remarked Howard Nager, Director of Marketing and Business Development. “Additionally, I would also like to thank those customers who participated in the promotion, as we look forward to continuing and expanding the promotion’s timeframe for 2023.”
Pacific Trellis Fruit launched the initial fundraising campaign this past November in honor of Veterans Day. The company then released co-branded packaging under its Dulcinea® line of grapes and Mandarins in retail locations across the United States, where a percentage of every purchase was then donated to the foundation on behalf of the company.
Since 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star, fallen first responders, and veterans’ families, a press release explained. Part of how this is done is by building custom-designed smart homes for injured veterans and first responders.
On January 11, 2023, Pacific Trellis presented the check to Tiffany Burgess, Tunnel to Towers Speaker Ambassador and a Gold Star Family Home Program recipient. Attendees from the Pacific Trellis Fruit team included Josh Leichter, Chief Executive Officer; Howard Nager; and Dan Carapella Jr. Director of Special Projects and Senior Sales Executive.
Thank you to Pacific Trellis for supporting such a wonderful cause!
