PACK gives BACK raises $50,000 for Fisher House

October 15, 2015

The third annual PACK gives BACK event, held in conjunction with PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 last month, raised $50,000 for military non-profit Fisher House Foundation, whose program provides free temporary lodging for families of patients receiving care at major military and VA medical centers. The money will help build comfort homes that allow families of military members and veterans to remain close to their loved ones during a medical crisis.

“PACK gives BACK isn’t just a fun networking event, it’s a chance to acknowledge and support a great cause,” said Charles Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. “Fisher House Foundation does really important work supporting our veterans and their families, and we’re proud to be associated with such a wonderful organization.”

Donations to Fisher House Foundation can be made at packexpolasvegas.com/pgb or at Fisherhouse.org.
