During its partnership with Birdies for the Brave Patriots' Outpost and the Web.com Tour United Leasing Championship, Atlas Van Lines collected more than 4,000 baby items and more than $300 in cash donations for families at the Ft. Campbell, Kentucky military base.
Atlas will deliver the Red, White and Baby collection items on Friday, July 13.
Leading up to and throughout the professional golf event at Victoria National, Atlas hosted a community collection for essential baby items. As a result, Atlas collected 15 blankets, 247 clothing items, 3,072 diapers, 83 packs of wipes, 248 hygiene products, 360 baby food containers and 64 bottles or toys. Event sponsor Chick-fil-A donated a large quantity of sandwiches that were sold for monetary donations to the Ft. Campbell families, which totaled $307.
"It's an honor to give back to the families of those who serve our country so bravely, and we couldn't have done this without the overwhelming support we received from our employees, as well as the local community," said Jack Griffin, president and COO of Atlas Van Lines.
In addition to the Red, White and Baby shower, Atlas offered complimentary admission to the Patriots' Outpost tent for all active, reserve and retired military in addition to 250 golf tournament tickets for veterans. Inside the Patriots' Outpost tent, visitors were able to record encouraging video messages to military men and women deployed overseas.
