Bushnell Partners with Folds of Honor to Support Military Families

Chicago resident Paul Liska has more than 40 years' experience in business management, which has culminated in him serving on several directorial boards. Paul Liska’s current affiliations include being on the board of directors of Bushnell, an American corporation that specializes in selling affordable sporting optics and related products.

Bushnell has partnered with Folds of Honor, an organization that empowers the families of fallen soldiers. The proceeds of charitable contributions go toward funding educational scholarships and support.

The effort was launched in 2007 by Major Dan Rooney, and Bushnell came aboard in 2011. It was launched in an effort to assist military families in the event a family member serving in combat is killed.

According to statistics provided by the organization, more than 1.4 million dependents have been adversely affected after losing parents in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of these dependents would not receive educational aid without the help of Folds of Honor.

Bushnell has played an important role in the support of this organization. Since partnering with the group almost nine years ago, it has donated more than $650,000, helping to fund the 5,400 scholarships the charity has given to dependent children of service members killed in action.
