TCP Kicks off USO Campaign with Parade, Block Party

At TCP Headquarters yesterday, we successfully kicked off a campaign in support of the Northern Ohio USO.  Entitled, “A Hero’s Light: One light until they all come home,” TCP hosted more than 400 people outside it’s corporate headquarters where a parade complete with veterans, marching bands and city officials started the celebration. 

Local businesses bought “Hero’s Light” shippers, each containing 132 CFLs, to share with employees or to use in their own facilities to increase energy efficiency. TCP has already sold 54 shippers – with the company well on its way to reaching its goal of 250 shippers, totaling a donation of $25,000 to the Northern Ohio USO. To commemorate the successful campaign launch, the USO gave TCP its “wings” and named it a corporate angel. 

“This program, ‘A Hero’s Light’, is the start of a new partnership for us with the USO, with the goal that we hope we share with every American – to support the brave men and women who dedicate their lives for our freedom,” said TCP CEO, Ellis Yan.
