L&W Supply Launches Fundraising Efforts for Veterans
On the heels of the October 1 announcement that L&W Supply became the official building materials supplier of Team USA as part of parent company USG Corporation’s four-year sponsorship of both the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams and the Canadian Olympic Team, the wallboard and building materials distributor launched Rico’s Army, a fundraiser to help send the family of Team USA Paralympian Rico Roman to the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
L&W Supply is matching funds raised by employees, customers, vendors and the general public, with a goal of $50,000 to be raised by the start of the Paralympic Games on March 7, 2014. Proceeds will cover the costs for Rico’s wife, Nathalie, daughter Juliet, 11, and son Raul, 9, to attend the Games and watch their husband and father compete for the gold.
