BUDWIESER AND WESTERN WYOMING BEVERAGES SUPPORTS FOLDS OF HONOR SCHOLORSHIP WITH CHECK PRESENTATION
Accepting the check on behalf of Folds of Honor will be Jenn Stephens, a Gold Star wife who has been an inspiring advocate for the organization.
Western Wyoming Beverages, in partnership with Budweiser, is proud to announce a $10,000 donation to Folds of Honor to support scholarships for the families of fallen military members and first responders. The check presentation will take place on July 4th, 2024, prior to the Liberty Day Parade in Rock Springs, WY. This event will feature the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales and is part of Budweiser's long-standing commitment to supporting Folds of Honor.
Accepting the check on behalf of Folds of Honor will be Jenn Stephens, a Gold Star wife who has been an inspiring advocate for the organization. Jenn is the widow of United States Navy Lieutenant Commander Matthew Stephens, who served his country with honor and dignity. Despite suffering numerous injuries and battling Stage IV service-connected cancer, LCDR Stephens remained a dedicated and courageous soldier until his passing in May 2019.
Jenn and LCDR Stephens have six children, four of whom are current or past recipients of Folds of Honor scholarships. Through her involvement with Folds of Honor, Jenn has found solace and support, ensuring her children's educational futures while connecting with other families facing similar challenges. Jenn's story highlights the profound impact Folds of Honor has on the lives of those left behind by our nation's heroes.
With a century-long commitment to supporting the military and honoring those who serve our country, Anheuser-Busch is proud to continue its work with Folds of Honor as the organization’s longest standing partner. Folds of Honor is a nonprofit organization that provides life-changing educational scholarships to the families of fallen or disabled U.S. service members and first responders. Over the last 14 years, Anheuser-Busch, its industry leading brands, and wholesaler partners have donated $28 million, which has funded over 5,000 scholarships for Folds of Honor recipients.
"For over a decade, Anheuser-Busch, its brands and wholesaler network have been invaluable partners, significantly advancing Folds of Honor's mission of providing life-changing educational scholarships to military and first responders’ families,” said Folds of Honor Founder and CEO, Lt Col Dan Rooney. “Their steadfast support has been instrumental in driving tangible change, evident in a 63% surge in scholarship applications in 2023 alone. As we reflect on the past 14 years, we are deeply grateful for Anheuser-Busch's enduring partnership and the profound impact it has had. We’re thankful that Budweiser is once again taking its support on the road with a national Clydesdale tour to celebrate those who have served and their families and empower consumers to contribute to our cause as well."
In addition to Western Wyoming Beverages and Budweiser’s check presentation, the Budweiser Clydesdales will conclude the parade with a presentation at the Kelly’s Convenience Center location on Sunset Drive with a check presentation from Kelly’s Convenience Centers in the amount of $2,260.75 representing the “cents per gallon of fuel” donation they made to Folds of Honor last year.
