Teleperformance USA "Wears Its
Jeans For Troops"
As our nation paid tribute to our armed forces on Memorial Day, many citizens from coast to coast joined together to
help support troops and their families. Nearly 2,000 schools, companies and government agencies took part of a
nationwide movement called "Jeans for Troops" to help raise money so that veterans can get the assistance they need
as they return home.
Through the "Jeans for Troops" program, participating organizations across the country allow their employees to wear
jeans to work in exchange for a five dollar donation to the GI Go Fund, a 501(c) (3). This nonprofit organization is
dedicated to assisting veterans with any needs or issues upon their return from service. Teleperformance participated
for its third consecutive year and raised more than $5,000 in contributions toward the GI Go Fund.
"The amount that this event has grown in the past few years has been truly something special," said GI Go Fund
Executive Director, Jack Fanous. "What started as a small group of loyal supporters has now swelled to over a million
school teachers, government workers and business employees like Teleperformance USA standing together to lend a
hand to their local veterans in need. All of our participants are showing the true passion and love that all of us
Americans have for our military men and women, and they are saying thank you to them in the best possible way."
Thank you to all of our employees who generously contributed to this initiative. We are proud to support our military
and veterans whenever possible.
