of the largest in the history of veteran charity
initiatives. Mr. Parsons hopes that his
commitment will rally the community and
increase awareness of the need to support
veterans who risked everything for the country
and must now live with wounds, injuries, and/or
critical illnesses. The current campaign
celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Semper
Fi Fund, which has provided assistance to
13,000 veterans in the past decade through
immediate financial assistance and lifetime
support.

customers will also have the opportunity
to “Round Up for Charity” when they
purchase products and further benefit
the Semper Fi Fund, in addition to other
worthy causes.
