Employees Support Operation USO Care Package

Omaha, Neb. (Feb. 18, 2010) – From Feb. 15 to March 5, Cassling employees will raise money for Operation USO Care Package. The USO is a congressionally chartered, nonprofit organization that relies on donations from individuals and corporations to delivery support to the U.S. military.

Cassling worked with the USO to create a personalized Web site where each employee could make their donation. Employees can make a general donation, starting at $10 or choose to make a gift in memory or honor of someone.

Cassling also is highlighting the many men and women that serve our country by collecting and displaying pictures throughout the Omaha office and company intranet. Employees are encouraged to send photos of family members and friends who have served in the military or currently in service. A special fundraising luncheon will be held on Feb. 27, for employees at Cassling’s headquarters.
