Atlas American Lighting, Burlington, NC, a manufacturer of lighting products, announced a partnership to partner with the Independence Fund, which provides all-terrain, tracked wheelchairs for catastrophically wounded veterans. A portion of the proceeds from every Independence Series product sold by Atlas will be donated to The Independence Fund. On average, each customizable tracked wheelchair costs $16,000 to build.
Atlas’ Independence Series is designed to deliver distributors better value by removing cost – not quality in its wall lights, floodlights, canopy, and high bays.
“Atlas American Lighting is thankful to all of our Veterans and members of the military who do so much for us,” said Atlas Chief Commercial Officer, Ross Horton. “The Independence Fund is helping our Nation’s disabled Veterans regain their independence, and we are honored to play a part in that.” The Atlas press release said the Independence Fund is the eighth largest military non-profit organization in the Nation, serving Veterans of all combat eras in all areas of the country. To date, The Independence Fund has provided over 2,400 all-terrain, tracked wheelchairs for Veterans since 2007.
