FORT WAYNE, Ind. — WaterFurnace Intl. Inc. donated $35,000 to the United Service Organization (USO) of Indiana, making the company the largest single contributor to the nonprofit military support organization. Tom Huntington, president and CEO, WaterFurnace, presented the check at the company’s corporate headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he was joined by members of the 122nd Air National Guard, WaterFurnace employees, and representatives from the USO.

“For the eighth consecutive year, we’ve been fortunate to be able to present a check to the USO,” said Huntington. “We’re proud to help support an organization that does so much for our men and women in uniform. This check is just a small token of our appreciation.”

WaterFurnace raised the proceeds during its 26th Annual Supplier Golf Outing, held in September at Brookwood Golf Club in Fort Wayne. In addition to fundraising activities on the course, the outing included a silent auction for a variety of items donated by local businesses, including a day at a Humvee test track, golf clubs, a golf bag, baseball tickets, a TV, and shooting eyewear.

According to the USO, most of WaterFurnace’s donation will support activities at National Guard training bases throughout Indiana.
