PHOENIX, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- TriWest Healthcare Alliance is joining “America Supports You,” an ongoing, nationwide program established in November 2004 to showcase and communicate America’s support for the men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces at home and abroad.
TriWest joins America Supports You on the heels of its month-long holiday campaign to support military families throughout its 21-state region. Through the campaign, the company contributed over $300,000 to local, state and national military support organizations.
Also, as part of its substantial and long-standing effort to give back to those who serve all of us, TriWest, a USO world partner, is currently sponsoring a USO tour featuring Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band, entertaining troops and their families at military bases in Arizona and California.
Allison Barber, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs said, “For many years, TriWest has demonstrated an exemplary commitment to supporting America’s military family. Through America Supports You, we are able to work together so our deployed men and women and their families will become even more aware of home front support from TriWest.”
“The America Supports You campaign shares our goal of showing our support and appreciation for the sacrifices of the brave men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, particularly those separated from their loved ones during deployment,” said TriWest President and CEO David J. McIntyre, Jr.
