The American Flag is a symbol of freedom, unity and sacrifice that has been used to represent the United States of America since the late 1700s. Recognizing the importance of honoring and respecting the American Flag was at the forefront of festivities at Meadowbrook Pointe’s annual Flag Day celebration and fundraiser. Reworld Waste was delighted to have been a platinum sponsor at this joyful occasion that raised several thousand dollars for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Big shout out to my old friend, Andrew McClure from T2T, who did an amazing job speaking about what this incredible organization has done since 9/11 to help America’s heroes.

Support our veterans! Veterans are vital people in our community. They have great stories, great skills and great knowledge, yet many suffer from physical and mental disabilities. That doesn't mean they no longer play an important part in our community, it just means we, as a community, need to find alternative ways to support them. As a veteran myself who didn't know what to do with my life after my service, I struggled to find a career path that I loved. I finally found that when I was introduced to the film industry in 2006. The film industry has a very similar structure to the military, which makes it easy to adjust to. I personally have used different aspects of the industry as coping mechanisms for my PTSD and other issues. There’s so much in the film industry that veterans can do from background extras work to military consultant to cinematographer to scriptwriter to editor to medic, and much more. The film industry is vital to the Louisiana economy from hiring cast and crew to bringing in tourists to see locations that were filmed. As a local producer, my goal is to hire veterans to fill 60% of my cast and crew positions. In order to do that, the veterans need to be trained if they are not already in the industry and that is where my non-profit comes in. With proper funding, I can train veterans free of charge, introduce them to film projects and also help interested veterans in applying for their veteran benefits, including any veteran disability benefits they may be eligible for. I am raising money with a dinner fundraiser on September 30th from 6-11pm to help train the veterans. You can find out more about the fundraiser and how to support our veterans by checking out our Facebook Event at https://lnkd.in/gjtyVjxr Or go to our website at https://lnkd.in/dbeg7nvM Even if you can’t make the dinner, you can still show your support by donating $5 or $10. Most businesses have a donation matching program which employees can ask about. We look forward to seeing you there and supporting our veterans! #veteran #veteranshelpingveterans #film #filmmaking #veterans #louisiana #donate #fundraiser

Philanthropy isn't just about giving money; it's a commitment to bettering lives and strengthening communities. Fundraising is the engine that powers these noble missions. Together, we can build a world filled with compassion, hope, and positive change. “Lucky you. You are a fundraiser. Some shy away. Some are afraid. Some say they don’t like it. You know better. You are, in your own special way, helping to change a corner of the world.” — Jerold Panas #FoundationBoardMembers #Philanthropy #Changemakers #mercy #mercyhealthfoundation #communityleadership #communityengagement #fundraising #Philanthropy #Fundraising #ImpactMatters
