Great company supporting a great cause 📣🙌

🕯️ Light Their Legacy 🕯️

We're honored to begin our Light Their Legacy series by remembering Brett Gornewicz, a hometown hero who made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country. 🇺🇸

In February 2012, SGT Brett Gornewicz, of Alden, NY deployed to Afghanistan as a member of the 444th Engineer Company. On November 3rd, 2012 Brett and two fellow soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb. In his honor, a group of current and former military members came together to form the Brett Gornewicz Foundation (BGF). The nonprofit foundation was established to benefit members of the military community and their families through financial grants and other services. 🖤

The BGF hosts an annual golf tournament to honor Brett and his sacrifice. The event is filled with competition, food, drinks, raffles and prizes. Proceeds from the tournament benefit WNY veteran associations and local scholarships. ⛳️

To nominate a veteran for Light Their Legacy:
📩 DM us their name, branch, photo (if possible), and a few words about their story.

Let's fill our page with stories that matter, Light Their Legacy, and remind our veterans - IGY6. 🕯️
