Bensalem, PA (July 14, 2008) -- This summer, 20 War on Terror veterans with severe and debilitating injuries will be able to sleep more comfortably, thanks to Contour Adjustable Beds, the nation's premier quality comfort adjustable bed. The company announced today that it is partnering with America's Heroes of Freedom (AHOF), one of the most respected non-governmental providers of emergency financial relief and programs to severely wounded troops from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, to identify deserving veterans to receive the beds.
"We are humbled by the sacrifice that tens of thousands of American's make to defend our country's freedom every day," said Jeffrey Mowrey, Executive Director of the Association of Contour Adjustable Bed Distributors. "However, not everyone serving our country returns safely. There is a great need among our soldiers injured in the line of duty for adjustable beds to help them sleep better and recover comfortably form their injuries after being discharged from the hospital. We wish we could donate a Contour Sleep System to every soldier with significant injuries." added Mowrey. "We hope that this donation is just the first of many in our partnership with AHOF."
Contour researched many non profit organizations before choosing AHOF to partner with for its Contour in the Community adjustable bed donation program. Two main factors determined Contour's decision to partner with AHOF. First, as a grass roots, all volunteer organization, 100% of donations to the organization go to directly to its programs. Secondly, AHOF is one of the very few organizations allowed by by the military onto its bases and medical facilities. AHOF volunteers work directly with military case officers to determine need and how best to aid each soldier individually.
