NEW YORK, NY--(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 (top right photo).
“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.
