Non-Profit Organization Awarded $295,000 in Direct Financial Assistance to Affected Families in 2019
(Watertown, South Dakota) – The Tower Family Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is encouraging all wireless industry companies and stakeholders to make an end of year tax-deductible donation to the organization prior to December 31, 2019.
All contributions to the Tower Family Foundation are granted directly to eligible tower workers and/or their families to help assist them in paying for their immediate needs and related costs that occur in the aftermath of a post-accident or fatality situation. In 2019, the Foundation has awarded $295,000 in direct financial assistance to affected families and has donated $821,000 to eligible benefactors since the organization’s launch in September 2014.
“I would encourage all industry stakeholders to consider contributing to the Tower Family Foundation before the end of 2019,” stated Endowment Committee Member Wade Collins of Flash Technology. “Your donation will help ensure industry workers and families get the support they urgently need at a most difficult time. Please take the opportunity to help the Foundation have an indelible impact on industry workers and families in 2020,” added Collins.
