There are few greater sacrifices than serving your country. It is a sacrifice that means spending months, or even years, away from family, which can take an emotional and even financial toll. That s where SALUTE, INC. comes in.
SALUTE, INC. was founded in 2003 by Will and Mary Beth Beiersdorf. Will, a Naval reservist, was deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, shortly after 9/11. He was there for 13 months, leaving Mary Beth and his kids behind do deal with the many unknowns that come with service. They were able to get by thanks to family and friends.
They wanted to extend that same helping hand by creating SALUTE, INC., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides financial support through fundraisers.
