HOUSTON, Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aggrekoa global leader in energy solutions, announced that for the second year in a row, the company is a proud sponsor of Hope 4 Heroes, formerly known as the National Day of HOPE, a two-month campaign running from November 1st to December 31st around Veterans Day is underway. We celebrate veterans of the United States Armed Forces while raising awareness for PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere). As a “Veteran Sponsor” of HOPE 4 Heroes, Aggreko once again supported a veteran to participate in the PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week, and four veteran Aggreko employees will be able to participate in HOPE 4 Heroes activities.

HOPE 4 Heroes marks the eighth edition of the campaign in support of PGA HOPE, the flagship military program of the PGA of America REACH Foundation, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America. PGA HOPE introduces golf to veterans and active military personnel to improve their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. The program introduces the sport of golf through a 6- to 8-week developmental curriculum taught by PGA of America golf professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency.

Prior to HOPE 4 Heroes, National Golf & Wellness Week was held October 9-14 at the historic Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, with 19 veterans and two group leaders in attendance. Aggreko's sponsorship supported a veteran's participation in National Golf & Wellness Week's professional golf instruction and wellness training, culminating in a golf outing during the event.

“We are honored to partner with companies that share our support for the veteran and active military population,” said Chris Nowak, PGA HOPE Military & Veteran Liaison. “HOPE 4 Heroes enters its eighth successful year, raising awareness of the unique benefits of golf.” For the veteran community, we appreciate the support of supporters like Aggreko, who are making it possible for veterans to participate in PGA HOPE for free.”

Aggreko's support of PGA HOPE continues the company's commitment to supporting veterans. The company has always specifically recruited veterans because many positions in the company benefit from veterans' expertise and cultural values. The company is actively working to support experienced employees and find new ways to increase their number.

“At Aggreko, we value veterans’ contributions to both our country and our company,” said Stephen Saal, vice president of sales and marketing for Aggreko North America. “We are pleased to once again support and help strengthen the mission of PGA HOPE.” We promote the well-being of veterans through golf and offer many of our veteran employees the opportunity to participate in National Day of HOPE activities. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the PGA of America and its veterans programs and wish all military members participating in HOPE 4 Heroes the best of luck!”

PGA HOPE offers its development program at more than 550 locations in all 50 states. The program is on track to reach its goal of serving 17,000 veterans in 2024. PGA of America golf professionals who teach through the program are specifically trained to use adaptive equipment to meet the unique needs of veterans and have a PGA HOPE Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Veterans Affairs enabling it Employees to refer veterans to the program as a form of therapy.
