Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 5, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 5, 2018 Sentient Jet will continue to raise awareness for Homes for Our Troops–a nonprofit organization that builds specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 veterans–with the extension of its partnership with Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC and sponsorship of contender Tenfold (Curlin) in Saturday’s GI Belmont S. The Directional Aviation company sponsored Winchell Thoroughbreds’ Combatant (Scat Daddy) in the GI Kentucky Derby and added Tenfold for the GI Preakness S. After garnering attention in local and national media, the campaign has already generated $40,000 in direct donations. “No matter how Tenfold finishes June 9, he will be winning for veterans everywhere through the awareness and funds he is raising for this noble cause,” said Andrew Collins, president and CEO of Sentient Jet. “We are proud to do our part to honor the achievements of both the organization at large and the heroic men and women that it serves.” As part of the partnership, Sentient Jet will once again host U.S. veterans for a day at the races, offering them a personal introduction to the Belmont field and seating in the luxurious G.H. Mumm Champagne Room. Among the list attending will be Veteran Marine Staff Sergeant Charlie Linville. An inspiring and avid mountain climber, Staff Sergeant Linville is the first amputee veteran to reach the top of Mount Everest. “We are thrilled to have the continued support of Sentient Jet and Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC at the 2018 Belmont S.,” said Tom Landwermeyer, President and CEO of Homes For Our Troops. “Beyond the important awareness we are raising for the work that we do, we are also offering a deserving group of veterans a very special day of once-in-a-lifetime fun at the races. We are looking forward to another spectacular day at the races.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
