Cans for Causes Program to raise money for handicap-accessible home for soldier
Aluminum Association effort contributes to charity for severely-injured veterans
Stephanie McGee of Stafford, Virginia joined the Aluminum Association’s Cans for Causes program to help raise money for Homes for Our Troops, a national non-profit organization that assists severely injured veterans by building specialty adapted, handicap-accessible homes designed to accommodate the veteran’s disabilities. McGee volunteers with the organization. She is a military wife and has two brothers in the Armed Forces.
McGee is currently raising money for a soldier in her area of Fairfax County, Virginia. Marine Sgt. Steven Kiernan was deployed to Fallujah, Iraq when he lost both of his legs in May 2008. Sgt. Kiernan and his team were hit by an IED. Lifesaving measures were applied as he received care in Germany, Bethesda Naval Hospital and eventually Walter Reed hospital where he continues to receive physical therapy.

CANS for CAUSES is a domestic program sponsored by the Aluminum Association to support organizations in their recycle efforts by providing free bin and bin liners. For more information visit www.aluminum.org.
