PostNet Launches Fourth Annual Fundraising Effort to Support Military Families

Neighborhood Business Centers Look to Raise $5,000 for Fisher House Foundation

Denver, CO (July 5, 2011) – Recognizing the special contributions and sacrifices our troops and their families make, PostNet is proud to announce their fourth-annual fundraising drive for the Fisher House Foundation to help wounded service members and their families.

The fundraising drive will run from July 1 – July 31 at participating PostNet Neighborhood Business Centers across the U.S. Customers can donate by:

  • 1. Visiting their PostNet Neighborhood Business Center and donating at the store counter.
  • 2. Donating on this page

Certain PostNet locations will offer special discounts throughout July, including 50 percent off packing/supplies on shipment to troops, and 10 percent off for customers with a military I.D.

“We are proud to continue our fundraising efforts for Fisher House and grateful to be able to support those who serve our country and their families,” said Steve Greenbaum, co-founder and CEO of PostNet. “Many of our customers, employees and franchise owners have a loved one who served in the military, or are military veterans themselves, so the cause is very near and dear to us.”

PostNet’s national support for Fisher House began in 2008. The company was introduced to the cause by Lynne Killion, a PostNet store owner in Dearborn, Mich. Her son was injured by an IED during a tour in Iraq, and Lynne’s husband stayed at a Fisher House at Fort Hood while he was hospitalized. Fisher House builds “comfort homes” on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. Because members of the military must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, these homes enable family members to stay close to loved ones free of charge during these difficult times.

The Fisher House™ Program

The Fisher House™ program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.

Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

There is at least one Fisher House™ at every major military medical center to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment. Annually, the Fisher House™ program serves more than 12,000 families, and have made available nearly 3 million days of lodging to family members since the program originated in 1990. By law, there is no charge for any family to stay at a Fisher House operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs; and Fisher House Foundation uses donations to reimburse the individual Fisher Houses operated by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. No family pays to stay at any Fisher House!

The Foundation has received the highest possible ratings from the “watch dog” organizations that evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of nonprofit organizations: For every dollar donated to Fisher House™ Foundation, 96 percent goes directly into Fisher House programs that help military families.

Online donations are completely safe and the most efficient way of donating (saving time and money), but checks are accepted. Please download and print the TFH Check Donation Form and mail the check and completed form to the address on the form.

Fisher House™ Foundation, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. Donations are tax-deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law.
