Airgas has reaffirmed its commitment to Operation Homefront, a San Antonio-based national nonprofit that supports America’s troops by providing emergency assistance and support to the families our troops leave behind when they are deployed and to wounded service members when they return home.
Airgas announced its continued support of the organization at the Operation Homefront Faces of Valor Fundraiser and Ceremony, aboard the Battleship New Jersey in Camden, New Jersey, on September 11, 2014. During the ceremony, Airgas executives Andrew R. Cichocki, President of Airgas USA, LLC; Pamela J. Claypool, Senior Vice President of Human Resources; and Ronald J. Stark, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, presented the Company’s seventh annual donation of $100,000 to Operation Homefront President and CEO Jim Knotts.
In total, the company’s renewed commitment to the organization is $300,000 to be given over the next three years in $100,000 increments annually. Airgas was the signature sponsor of the Faces of Valor event, which highlighted Operation Homefront’s work in the Philadelphia area with the help of local volunteers and donors.
“Airgas has been a proud partner of Operation Homefront since 2008. This year, we are especially honored to mark the anniversary of September 11, 2001, with a renewed commitment to the organization and to our troops,” said Airgas President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael L. Molinini. “Operation Homefront was founded to meet the needs of the military community during difficult times, and Airgas is proud to support this work to give vital aid to those who have given so much to this country.”
