Total Quality Logistics, headquartered in Union Township, recently donated more than $9,000
to the Let Us Never Forget Fallen Heroes Scholarship Fund.
The presentation was held at TQL on Flag Day, Tuesday, June 14. The final amount of
$9,298 was given to June Izzi-Bailey representing the scholarship fund and Keith Maupin of
the Yellow Ribbon Support Center.
This is the third year TQL, the fourth largest freight brokerage company in the nation, has
donated to the fund. The company committed to donate $1 to the fund for each truck load
arranged during Memorial Day weekend. Last year’s donation was $7,431 and the 2009
donation was $5,524.
“We’re glad that, as we continue to grow, we’re able to give more to the fund,” said Kerry
Bryne, TQL’s executive vice president. “This has become personal for us. As we hire more
and more people with military backgrounds, it becomes more than just us helping out.”
“It’s a privilege that we can do this,” he said.
Bryne said the scholarship fund is something the company’s employees are happy to be a
part of.
“It’s more than just us writing a check. We get excited,” he said.
Izzi-Bailey, April 9th scholarship dinner organizer, said TQL’s donation makes a big
difference in the number of scholarships the group can give in honor of fallen heroes. This will
be the seventh year for the fund and the Let Us Never Forget Fallen Heroes organization has
given more than $325,000 in scholarships. This year they gave 124 scholarship with a total
value of $74,500, Izzi-Bailey said.
“We are able to do that because people like TQL are able to (make donations.) We wouldn’t
be able to do this without the support of the community,” she said.

at P.O. Box 375, Milford, Ohio 45150.
