Open Mortgage to Host Veteran’s Day Fundraiser Supporting Wounded Warrior Project

Oct 08, 2012

Open Mortgage LLC has announced today plans to donate all of the proceeds of its Veterans Day Event to assist service members who have been injured in the line of duty. Open Mortgage's Veterans Day Event will be held Tuesday, November 13, 2012 from 5:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at Open Mortgage’s flagship branch, located at 4611 Bee Caves, Suite 202 in Austin, Texas. All proceeds from the Veteran’s Day Give-Back Event will be donated to the non-profit organization Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), and will support a full range of programs and services for this generation of injured veterans and their families. More than 47,000 servicemen and women have been injured in the recent military conflicts. In addition to the physical wounds, it is estimated as many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Another 320,000 are believed to have experienced a traumatic brain injury while on deployment. WWP’s 18 programs and services are uniquely structured to nurture the mind and body, and encourage economic empowerment and engagement. In addition to the Veterans Day Event on Nov. 13, Open Mortgage is also offering a Veteran’s Day Special—any military personnel serving or have served that apply for a VA loan from now until the end of 2012 will receive a free appraisal (the veteran’s price of appraisal will be reimbursed at closing—a value up to $500, see www.openmortgage.com for details of the program). “We are very committed to giving back to our Troops by giving back both with our VA loan special and our fundraising event for the WWP organization," said Scott Gordon, CEO of Open Mortgage. “The WWP is a very worthwhile charity and a meaningful one for all of us at Open Mortgage and for me personally."
