St. Louis-Based XIOLINK Salutes Veterans by Donating to The Mission Continues

Nov. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- ST. LOUIS, MO. – St. Louis-based XIOLINK, a leading provider of managed infrastructure, colocation and private cloud computing solutions, will honor military veterans by donating $1,111 on November 11 to The Mission Continues, an organization that pairs veterans with service opportunities to employ their unique skills.  This donation will be used to support IT initiatives. XIOLINK will match employee contributions in honor of Veteran’s Day and in celebration of XIOLINK’s first anniversary at their new 1111 Olive Street headquarters in St. Louis.  

“Our employees will each be encouraged to donate and XIOLINK will match employee contributions to ensure a contribution of $1,111 goes to The Mission Continues,” Brad Pittenger, chief executive officer at XIOLINK said.  “XIOLINK not only provides quality service for our clients, but we make it a priority to give back to organizations like The Mission Continues.  Ten percent of our employees have served our country in the U.S. armed forces, and we understand the important role community involvement plays when they return home.  We are proud to make this donation and help The Mission Continues partner veterans with service projects that are valuable to them. We encourage others to do the same,” he added.

“Veterans Day may be just one day a year, but XIOLINK’s donation will help The Mission Continues have the technological support they need year-round.  Their generosity will directly impact our organization, and provide purpose for this generation of veterans,” Tony Bryan, Associate Development Director at The Mission Continues, said.
