Empowering military families through scholarships, education
& career opportunities
HOUSTON, May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- symplr®, a leading provider of enterprise
healthcare operations software, announced today that it is
sponsoring the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, a national
nonprofit organization that provides college scholarships and
educational/career counseling to military children who have lost a
parent in the line of duty. This financial and professional support
underscores symplr's commitment to giving back to military families
and aligns with the company's sVEN (Veteran Employee Resource
Group) community focus.
"As a prior service Marine, it's an honor
to be able to support other veterans and their families, and I
immediately saw the impact that we could make in supporting
Children of Fallen Patriots," said BJ Schaknowski, CEO of
symplr.
With many Gold Star families struggling to make ends meet – 53%
of surviving spouses make less than $50,000 annually – Children of the Fallen
Patriots has become their lifeline. The organization also
facilitates a series of virtual career panel sessions. symplr
kicked off its inaugural panel session, in collaboration with sVEN,
discussing roles in healthcare technology and answering questions
from a group of students. These sessions will continue throughout
the year, allowing symplr staff to share insights and experiences
to empower Children of Fallen Patriots scholars to pursue diverse
academic and professional paths.
"As a prior service Marine, it's an honor to be able to support
other veterans and their families, and I immediately saw the impact
that we could make in supporting Children of Fallen Patriots," said
BJ Schaknowski, CEO of symplr. "We are proud to help alleviate some
of their financial burdens and to drive awareness and support for
something that not only does good, but also feels good for our
people, aligning with our broader philanthropic efforts like our
work with Susan G. Komen and The
DAISY Foundation."
"We are grateful for symplr's support and commitment to our
cause," said David Kim, CEO of
Children of Fallen Patriots. "Through their sponsorship and
participation in our career panel sessions, symplr is providing our
scholars with the tools and encouragement they need to
succeed."
