Nationwide Technology Group joins @Houston Media Network in national campaign to support veterans

HOUSTON - Jan. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Nationwide Technology Group, a Houston-based mobile app technology company, has signed on as official technology partner for @Houston Media Network in a national media campaign that leverages technology to impact the lives of U.S. veterans.

The campaign designates 2015 as "The Year of the Veteran" and kicked off with the Premier B2B & Latin American Media Event hosted by the Houston Dynamo on Jan. 29 at BBVA Compass Stadium - West Club, 2200 Texas Avenue in Houston, Texas.

The year-long campaign aims to raise funds for veteran causes by providing 5-star publicity and branding opportunities to local businesses at various sponsored events. Funds from business memberships and corporate sponsorships for the kick-off event will benefit Project Rescue, a project that donates homes to qualifying veterans.

According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, 70 percent of homeless veterans suffer from substance abuse, while 50 percent experience mental health issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, with many ending up living on the streets.

In addition to making a difference in the lives of the nation's veterans, the companies also are joining forces to combat hunger in the estimated 16 million children who experience hunger in the nation each day.

"We are very excited to provide a platform that will assist @Houston Media Network in helping veterans and children and look forward to using our customized software applications and web-based tools to help other companies with similar needs," said Ned.

As official technology partner, Nationwide Technology Group is leveraging technology to help @Houston Media Network become one of America's leading interactive technology-based professional business networks.

"The mobile app and website we designed for @Houston Media Network gives them unsurpassed ability to engage with their network of prospective members and donors. The platform gives them the ability to leverage technologies, such as push notifications, to reach targeted audiences," said John Ned, president/CEO of Nationwide Technology Group.

Ray Hewitt, founder/CEO of @Houston Media Network, expressed pride in the partnership and the technology Nationwide Technology Group has provided to promote the company's philanthropic efforts and increase brand awareness.

"Being ahead of the curve is what we like best about our partnership as we aspire to be the best at serving America and our US veterans. We believe we can change the world one veteran's life at a time, and through strength in numbers, we will change the world," said Hewitt.
