NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
As part of Annaly Capital Management’s ongoing corporate philanthropy
efforts, the company announced a commitment to Wounded Warrior Project
TM (WWP). At a recent annual company event, Annaly raised over
$100,000 from its employees and attendees from other financial services
companies.
“At the Annaly family of companies, through our charitable contributions
and employee involvement we are committed to the welfare and prosperity
of the communities where we live and work,” said Annaly’s Chairman,
Chief Executive Officer and President, Michael A.J. Farrell. “In
particular, we are strong believers in supporting our men and women in
uniform, first responders and the armed forces, who protect us both
domestically and abroad. The beneficiaries of Wounded Warrior
Project—brave men and women who have suffered debilitating injuries in
the line of duty—deserve the biggest thanks, and the most support, of
all. We are pleased to be able to help them through our initial
fundraising effort and look forward to continuing our commitment to this
wonderful organization.”
Wounded Warrior Project was founded in 2003 by several veterans and
friends, moved by stories of the first wounded service members returning
home from Iraq and Afghanistan, who took action to help others in need.
What started as a program to provide comfort items to wounded service
members has grown into a complete rehabilitative effort to assist
warriors as they recover and transition back to civilian life. Tens of
thousands of wounded warriors and caregivers receive support each year
through WWP programs designed to nurture the mind and body, and
encourage economic empowerment and engagement.
Annaly manages assets on behalf of institutional and individual
investors worldwide. Through its Annaly Gives Back program, the company
recognizes and supports the important work conducted by its employees on
behalf of non-profit organizations.
