25,000 canes to be given free of charge to veterans
|
Alpharetta – A national program will provide 25,000 canes free of charge to members of the U.S. armed forces in need of mobility assistance to honor them for their incredible contributions to our country.
The program "Hugo Salutes Our Veterans" will be launched Veterans Day, Nov. 11 and will provide Hugo Folding Canes at all Sam's Club locations nationwide while supplies last.
Sam's Club Membership is not required. Proof of U.S. military service may be required in order to be
eligible.
AMG Medical Inc., headquartered in Alpharetta, first launched the veterans program in 2007, giving away 5,000 canes. The program was to honor the parents and relatives of its employees who served in the U.S. military and to give back to those who graciously gave so much to America.
This year, with the backing of Sam's Club, Procter and Gamble, Novartis, Wyeth, Johnson & Johnson, US Nutrition, First Quality, Schiff Nutrition and AMG Medical, the program has been greatly expanded.
The Hugo Folding Cane retails for about $29.99 and is appropriate for both left and right handed users.
Philip delBuey, Global President of AMG Medical Inc., said veterans helped "secure the prosperity that many of us now enjoy."
