Soltex’s Annual ‘Employee Charity of Choice’ Donation: Making a Positive Impact
At Soltex, giving back to the community is valuable. Since 2022, we have initiated an annual tradition during our Christmas party where one lucky employee gets to choose a charity for a $1,000 donation. This year, we are delighted to share the impact of our most recent donations, selected by Rick Jones, who chose to support two incredible charities with $500 each.
Rick’s Choices:
- PTSD Foundation of America – Camp Hope
Camp Hope, operated by the PTSD Foundation of America, is a transformative program dedicated to helping veterans and their families cope with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related challenges. Through specialized services and a supportive community, Camp Hope provides a beacon of hope for those who have bravely served our country.
- Semper Fi & America’s Fund
The Semper Fi & America’s Fund is committed to providing immediate financial assistance and lifelong support to combat-wounded, critically ill, and catastrophically injured members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Their comprehensive programs and services ensure that our heroes receive the care and resources they deserve.
Rick Jones, the worthy recipient of this year’s charity selection, shared his heartfelt reasons for choosing these impactful organizations. His decision to support the PTSD Foundation of America – Camp Hope and Semper Fi & America’s Fund was deeply rooted in personal experiences and a heartfelt commitment to supporting our veterans.
Rick recounted how he learned about Camp Hope through a radio program featuring Michael Berry, which led him to reflect on the challenges faced by veterans post-Vietnam and the lack of support systems available. This reflection inspired him to prevent history from repeating itself by supporting Camp Hope’s mission of providing a second chance and a supportive community.
On the other hand, Rick’s connection to Semper Fi & America’s Fund stems from having two sons serve in the Marine Corps post-9/11. His search for an organization that truly supported Marines led him to the Semper Fi Fund. As an accountant, Rick naturally examined their financial transparency and was impressed by their commitment, with over 95% of donations directly benefiting injured Marines and their families.
Beyond the numbers, Rick’s admiration for Semper Fi & America’s Fund stems from the impactful stories he’s encountered. At a recent reception for donors, he heard a touching account of a soldier whose multiple deployments had strained his marriage to the brink of divorce. However, when the soldier was severely injured in combat, Semper Fi Fund stepped in not only to support his recovery but also to reunite his family during his healing process. Some members of the soldier’s family had to travel from Central America, a testament to the Fund’s commitment to ensuring that families can be near their recovering loved ones. Today, thanks to the support provided by Semper Fi & America’s Fund, that soldier is happily married and living a productive life. This transformative impact, providing hope and support in the face of adversity, resonated deeply with Rick.
Rick’s contributions to the Semper Fi Fund’s impactful work extend over two decades, during which he has actively fundraised and supported their cause, including raising over $30,000 through events like the Marine Corp Marathon in 2007.
Capturing Rick’s motivation to support the PTSD Foundation of America – Camp Hope and the Semper Fi Fund & America’s Fund in his own words, he says, “I hope I never again see our veterans being treated the way they were in the 70’s. Camp Hope and the Semper Fi Fund do a great job of saving the lives of our heroes, and they do it with service to others and love – God’s way! When my name was drawn at the Christmas Party to be the donor, my choice was easy!”
At Soltex, we believe in using our resources to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through initiatives like our annual charity donation, we continue to support causes that align with our values of compassion, support, and community impact.
