ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — New Energy Equity LLC, a national developer of community and commercial solar projects, has donated $200,000 to Folds of Honor through its Lift as We Climb Foundation.
Each year, New Energy Equity’s Lift As We Climb Foundation contributes to nonprofits aligning with the company’s mission of leaving behind a better world. Last fall, New Energy Equity hosted its annual charity golf tournament to support Folds of Honor, a national organization that provides educational scholarships to the families of fallen or disabled U.S. military members and first responders.
Through sponsorships, donations, contests and auctions, New Energy Equity raised more than $200,000 for the nonprofit through the golf tournament held in Queenstown, Maryland.
“Giving back in our communities is a core value of New Energy Equity. We are honored for the second year to support the vitally important mission of Folds of Honor through the Lift As We Climb Golf Tournament,” said Jim Wrathall, New Energy Equity general counsel and president of the Lift As We Climb Foundation. “Through the generosity of our clients, partners, and employees, we are thrilled to have far exceeded our goal and proud to make a lasting impact through this donation in the lives of more than 40 Folds of Honor scholarship recipients.”
Air Force Lt Col Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor founder and CEO, expressed his gratitude for the donation.
“I am deeply thankful to the entire team at New Energy Equity,” Rooney said. “Their selfless hard work and dedication resulted in over 40 life-changing academic scholarships. While Folds had a record-setting year in providing funds, the need remains great. New Energy Equity wants to help ensure that every qualified applicant has a chance to succeed in life.”
