Blastrac NA Helps Wounded Warrior

Words: Dan KamysBlastrac NA Helps Wounded Warrior
Blastrac NA has been asked by the team at Scott’s Concrete and Bryan Broderick to help install a custom garage floor in Cpl. Todd and Chrystal Nicely’s new smart home. Tunnel to Towers and The Gary Sinise Foundation are building smart homes for multiple amputee wounded warriors. 
 
“These are two great organizations we look forward to working with.” says Jonn Rippman, national sales manager and training director. “This is a great cause to embrace and those of us at Blastrac and our friends will continue to support their efforts whenever and wherever we can.”
 
The Gary Sinise Foundation was officially formed in 2010, and is dedicated to serving the Nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need. Serving Honor and Need is the cornerstone of the foundation, which is built upon its founder’s life-long principals and long standing commitment to be a citizen of action, and to help in any way that one can, the people who serve our country.
 
The sole purpose of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is to honor the legacy of love given to us by Stephen Siller, FDNY, who laid down his life on 9/11, by “doing good” in his name. The mission is to follow Siller’s footsteps through support of children who have lost a parent, firefighters, and military who have been seriously injured and sacrifice their quality of life in the line of duty.
