Saia Supports the Wounded Warrior Amputee Football Team
November 29 2018 - 4:37PM
Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) is pleased to honor members of our
nation’s military in events being held this month in recognition of
Veteran’s Day and in December. As a sponsor of the Wounded Warrior
Amputee Football Team (WWAFT), Saia salutes service members who
took on alumni of the Green Bay Packers and NFL in a halftime
exhibition game held during festivities at Lambeau Field during the
Green Bay Packers-Miami Dolphins game.
“We are thrilled to be able to assist WWAFT in their mission to
showcase the determination and talents of our nation’s wounded
warriors,” stated Saia Vice President of Human Resources Michelle
Richard. “Our veterans and their families are to be commended for
the sacrifices they’ve made on behalf of our country. We owe them
all a tremendous debt of gratitude.”
WWAFT, which is made up of veterans who use a prosthetic device
to engage in everyday life activities, visits various cities across
the country to play exhibition games with current and retired
professional athletes to emphasize the fact that all veterans are
able to contribute at home, excel in the workplace and continue to
be great patriots and ambassadors for the U.S. By showcasing team
members on the football field, the WWAFT seeks to inspire fans and
highlight the perseverance of both active and former service
members who continue to face life’s challenges without excuses.
“Outside of our sponsorship of WWAFT, Saia is also partnering
with Wreaths Across America (WAA) again this year,” explained
Richard. “On December 15, Saia employees and their families will
participate in our first-ever National Day of Service. The event
coincides with National Wreath Laying Day and will be an
opportunity for our team members to assist in laying wreaths at one
of more than 1,400 veterans’ cemeteries located around the
country.”
Saia is proud to support the missions of both WWAFT and WAA as
they work to honor those who served in our nation’s military and
remember our fallen U.S. veterans.
