Tunnel to Towers and Yuengling Brewery Announce Continuation of their Partnership
Yuengling and Distributor Partners have donated over $52,000 to the Foundation to date
NEW YORK, NEW YORK [August 8, 2024] — The Tunnel to Towers Foundation today announced a continuation of its partnership with Yuengling Brewery.
Yuengling initiated their support of Tunnel to Towers’ Homeless Veteran Program and In the Line of Duty Programs earlier this year.
The Brewery, in collaboration with its Distributor Partners in New Jersey and New York City, will continue raising awareness with Yuengling Fans, its valued consumers, retailers, and Beer Industry professionals through a major fundraising initiative in the Northeast region. The campaign will run from August 1 through November 30, 2024.
“As the Yuengling family and team reflect on the Siller family, Stephen Siller’s story, and the guiding philosophy of St. Francis of Assisi, “while we have time, let us do good” we recognize it as a wonderful reminder of how we can help make a difference. We know we’re contributing to something truly special. The wide expansion of support that T2T has given to Veterans and First Responders is beyond amazing. May our efforts help multiply contributions and awareness along with all your excellent partners,” said Dick Yuengling, CEO & Owner of D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc.
“The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is incredibly grateful to have the support of the Yuengling team, a company with a long history of supporting America’s heroes. Their generosity will enable us to move forward in our work to eradicate homelessness amongst the veteran community, to provide for military and first responder families, and educate future generations about the heroism shown on September 11, 2001,” said Frank Siller, Chairman & CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
