Matching Gift Challenge in Honor of Fifty Years of Service
In honor of the Coast Guard Foundation’s 50th anniversary, Leidos, a generous corporate donor, has offered to match every gift received by June 5, 2019-- dollar for dollar -- up to $50,000.
“The support of our donors, coupled with Leidos' matching gift will help close the gap between the services provided by the Coast Guard’s budget and what service members really need,” said Susan Ludwig, president, Coast Guard Foundation. “Through our programs like college scholarships for children of fallen Coast Guard heroes, assistance to families of critically injured members, and morale and recreation support, Coast Guard members can be ready to perform their difficult, often arduous duty.”
I know how much these services mean to our men and women in uniform. And they are only possible with help from caring friends like you.
