Turner Construction raising money for Butler County veterans

Dear VoteVets.org Supporter,
Each holiday season, we at VoteVets.org try to raise support for a cause that directly helps the veterans of this nation. Last year, you came through – big time – by donating over $11,000 to Operation Second Chance, which provides support and goods to patients at Walter Reed Medical Center. This year, let’s come through again for another great cause, and show what the season of giving is all about.

Each year, Turner Construction in Pittsburgh raises money for local causes around the holiday season. Turner is a union shop, employing members of the local Carpenters, Laborers, Pipe Fitters, Electricians, Sheet Metal Workers and Operators. This year, Turner has chosen to raise money for their local VA Center, in Butler County, PA.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, “The medical center offers inpatient care which include nursing home care and domiciliary. Inpatient services are strongly supported by a host of generalized and specialized outpatient programs which generate approximately 125,000 outpatient visits annually.”
As you know, the VA is overstretched, and almost every VA center is coping with underfunding. While we’re hopeful that President-Elect Obama and Secretary-Designate Shinseki will increase the VA budget, VA centers could use some help right now. So let’s help a great one make it through the new year.

We’ll take your donations and give them to Turner Construction’s fundraiser for the Butler County VA, and local veterans will know that you came through for them.
We know times are tough, and many of you donated incredible amounts to us during the last year. But, please give what you can spare, so veterans can receive the care they deserve.
Thanks for your support, and on behalf of everyone at VoteVets.org, we wish you a very healthy and happy holiday season and the very best in 2009.
Sincerely,
Jon SoltzIraq War Veteran Chairman, VoteVets.org
And Brandon, Peter, Brian, and the entire VoteVets.org team
