Veteran-Owned Distillery Will Donate Award-Winning Vodka for Fundraising Events

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Dec. 19, 2017 – The Folded Flag Foundation, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization committed to honoring the legacy of America’s fallen heroes by helping their families with financial support for education, is pleased to announce an in-kind partnership with Heroes Vodka, which will provide its critically acclaimed vodka at several Folded Flag fundraising events. The Folded Flag Foundation’s mission is to provide educational scholarships and grants to the children and spouses of U.S. military and government personnel who have died as a result of hostile action or in an accident related to U.S. combat operations.

Heroes Vodka was founded in 2009 by Travis McVey, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who also served as a Presidential Honor Guard. The mission of Heroes Vodka is to deliver exceptional taste and superior value to its customers, while honoring veterans and other American service organizations through charitable contributions. A generous portion of every Heroes Vodka sale goes to supporting American veterans, active duty military, and their families through partnerships with reputable charitable organizations.

“The mission of Heroes Vodka is in line with everything The Folded Flag Foundation stands for – helping to make a difference in the lives of those who have already sacrificed so much,” said John Coogan, president of The Folded Flag Foundation. “Through this generous support from Heroes Vodka, the foundation will be able to donate even more to helping our nation’s Gold Star Families.”

“Since our launch in 2011, Heroes Vodka has always been committed to giving back to U.S. veterans and their families,” said McVey. “We are proud to be affiliated with The Folded Flag Foundation and to provide our premium vodka at fundraising events to support its cause.”
