Rockets fans called upon to donate during March home games to
benefit those who serve
Basketball is top of mind when March rolls around for a lot of
the country, but Toyota and the Houston Rockets are spending the
month of madness focused on raising funds and awareness for Hiring
Our Heroes. In its third year of existence, the "Charity of the
Month" sees the organizations come together to support local
charities and make a positive impact in the community.
“Toyota is truly honored to be teaming up with the Houston
Rockets to help support Hiring Our Heroes throughout March,” said
Brent Hillyer, Gulf States Toyota vice president of marketing. “It
has been a privilege to work with Hiring Our Heroes since 2012, and
this year is no different. We will work relentlessly now and in the
future to raise money and awareness to ensure those who have served
this country valiantly have employment opportunities when they
return home.”
At the seven home games played at the Toyota Center in March
2015, fans have the opportunity to visit the designated "Rockets
Give Back" table located on the first level concourse and donate to
an organization aiming to help veterans, transitioning service
members and military spouses find meaningful employment. Since
2011, the Hiring Our Heroes program has helped hundreds of
thousands of veterans and military spouses find employment through
more than 850 jobs fairs across the country and several free online
career-based resources.
One of those events is taking place on Friday, March 6, 2015, at
the Toyota Center from 12-3 p.m. CST. The event will feature a
hiring fair, networking opportunities, and workshops tailored for
veteran job seekers, active duty military members, guard and
reserve members, and military spouses. For more information, please
