Mission 500 Sustains Charitable Efforts in 2020 Despite Pandemic
Mission 500, the nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to serving children and communities in need across the U.S., made many contributions despite a challenging 2020, assisting thousands of underprivileged children in communities. By shifting its emphasis from physical to virtual fundraising activities, Mission 500 actively engaged the professional security community with numerous events to continue its charitable efforts and impact.
“2020 was a year unlike any in our collective history, and we quickly realized that we needed to promptly change our fund-raising strategies to accommodate the pandemic,” said Ken Gould, chairman for Mission 500. “Fortunately, we have built an incredible family of supporters across the professional security industry who realized that those already in need were suffering even more as a result of the pandemic — and they responded.”
