Sobieski Vodka Launches New Promotion To Raise Funds For Fisher House Foundation

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Sept. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sobieski Vodka today announced plans to renew its multi-year support of the Fisher House Foundation, a unique partnership that supports active and veteran members of the U.S. military and their families.

Just in time for the holidays, Sobieski will continue its successful "Save & Donate" program, which links consumer rebates to corporate donations. A similar promotion, launched in 2013, raised more than $56,000.

Through the Save & Donate program, consumers will be able to submit mail-in rebates for up to $5 per bottle of Sobieski Vodka purchased between October 1 and January 31, 2015. Sobieski will match that rebate as a donation to Fisher House.

"The Fisher House Foundation is a tireless proponent for the men and women of the U.S. military and their families, and Sobieski is proud to have continually supported its mission since 2012," said Chester Brandes, President & CEO of Imperial Brands, Inc., the exclusive importer of Sobieski Vodka. Sobieski has participated in and sponsored a number of Fisher House events, including its 2014 Fisher House Golf Classic in Leesburg, VA.

"The heart of the Fisher House program has always been to serve those who serve our country and their families," said Ken Fisher, Chairman and CEO of Fisher House Foundation. "Since 1990 we have helped support more than 200,000 families during the most trying time of their lives. We could not continue to build these comfort homes without the continued support of the American public and partners like Sobieski. Sobieski's generosity will continue to have an impact on military families for years to come."

Fisher House broke ground earlier this year on a new facility at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee (Wisconsin). This will soon join homes that were recently opened in Gainesville (Florida) and Fairfield (California). Plans are currently underway for facilities in Tucson (Arizona) and the greater Cleveland (Ohio) area as well.
