Don Evans also serves as an advisor to the Tower Family Foundation and has a strong track record of philanthropy.

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.
