UPS! Delivering Much More Than Just Your Parcels…

October 22, 2014

A huge Thank You to UPS for inviting us to campaign and spread the word of the Link Foundations. For the past two years, we have been invited to the UPS Facility in Brooklyn Center, MN to campaign for donations as one of a few companies selected by UPS as part of their “Give Where You Live Program.” My brother has worked for this great company for over 23 years and we are proud to have been selected by UPS for its charitable program!

….sometimes you just need a little help from your friends, and other times you make new friends during a very difficult time. This is what happened to our family when our son, Brett Banasiewicz, suffered a traumatic brain injury on his BMX bike on August 23, 2011. Dustin Grice is one of Brett’s BMX buddies that reached out to us about the Link Foundation. Jeff Troldahl, founder of the Link Foundation, and Dustin Grice designed a “Maddog” bracelet with Brett’s signature colors pink and green. The Link Foundation sold many bracelets via the internet and also allowed us to sell the bracelets at Brett’s BMX Skate Park. The proceeds went to Brett’s mounting medical bills. Brett was able to obtain the best care in the United States that also included hyperbarics. Brett had to relocate to Texas because the state of Indiana is not licensed to administer hyperbarics for TBI’s..
