We appreciate that Project Evergreen has formed a charity that takes our services that we provide every day to customers and has given us a platform to be able to easily give back. Over the last several years we have enjoyed volunteering and working with Project Evergreen staff because of how easy they make volunteering. "It was an honor to spend the night fundraising for not only a great organization, but for military families across the country," said Newlands.

"As a brand, one of our core values is to 'Be the change.' By requiring our franchisees to volunteer with Project Evergreen, we are able to help provide lawn care and snow plowing services for actively deployed family members. That's part of what we love about our business! We love that we can pull together our resources and help be the change in people's lives. It may be as simple as a lawn care or snow plow service, but if we can help them, even in a small way, it's worth it!" – Nathan Newlands

After a successful night of fundraising, proceeds from Band Blitz II went to support Project Evergreen's GreenCare for Troops, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the Delano American Legion. To top off the night, The Toro Company also donated several thousands of dollars worth of lawn care equipment, which was raffled off to raise money for the event.

"We hope that this event inspires other companies to join with Project Evergreen and to realize the impact it can have on actively deployed military families," said Newlands. Special thanks to sponsors NuFarm, The Toro Company, and SiteOne Landscape Supply.
