“Through wishes, Amentum’s leadership financial support will give our children the will to fight, improve their quality of life, and provide moments of joy they and their families will treasure forever. As a wish mom myself, I know that their medical journeys can be both scary and trying on the soul. Our uniformed services families have the added stress of their service, including deployments. We are honored to partner with Amentum to provide these heroes with the transformative and uplifting experiences that only Make-A-Wish can provide,” said Lesli Creedon, Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic President and CEO.

“Supporting causes that help veterans and military families is something near and dear to our hearts, especially with a third of our employees, about 11,000 people, being military veterans,” said John Vollmer, Amentum’s CEO. “Between frequent moves, deployments and working within the military health system, families in the uniformed services may not always be aware of the resources available to help. Ultimately, Make-A-Wish brings hope, and we want children whose parents serve our nation to be able to tap into that, ultimately helping them to persevere and when possible, heal.”

Amentum’s top-level sponsorship as a Champion Partner will enable Yellow Ribbon Fund to provide two apartments near Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to provide housing to family members accompanying active-duty members or veterans undergoing long-term treatment at the medical center. It will also support other critical near-term needs.

“Our nation’s strength is bolstered by the commitment of our military members and the steadfast support of their families,” said John Vollmer, Amentum’s CEO. “Amentum is honored to partner with organizations that provide critical support to those who are serving or have served our country. Our investment in Yellow Ribbon Fund will help enhance the lives of wounded, ill or injured service members by keeping their families together making them stronger during their life-long recovery process.”

“On behalf of the entire Yellow Ribbon Fund team and board of directors, we want to sincerely thank Amentum for this commitment to our organization,” said Meg Lewis, Yellow Ribbon Fund’s chief advancement officer. “This partnership couldn’t have come at a better time. We are honored to be partnered with a corporation like Amentum, which will be a foundation for us to continue to grow our impact.”
