In honor of National Fire Prevention Month, Per Mar Security Services, a provider of total security solutions for residential and commercial clients based in Davenport, Iowa, announced it will donate $5,000 to fire safety and prevention programs in its communities.

In 1980, Per Mar established its own charity fund, which is an internal account funded completely by employees and the company. Since 2001, Per Mar has matched every employee contribution dollar for dollar. The charity fund gives monetary support to organizations that work to alleviate community problems and strengthen cultural and educational programs within the communities it operates. To date, Per Mar’s charity fund donations total $1.3 million and counting.
