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.

“2020 has reminded us all that the tower industry is stronger than the sum of its parts, and that we can only continue to grow as a sector with one another’s help.” said Bernard Borghei, Co-founder and Executive Vice President of Operations of Vertical Bridge and Member of Tower Family Foundation’s Board of Directors. “The assistance that the Tower Family Foundation gives to our colleagues across the sector and their families when they need it the most is to be commended, and Vertical Bridge takes a great deal of pride in supporting the organization, its work and our industry.”
