It is fitting that on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day, we in NYC got together to celebrate our veterans! Led by Joseph Abboud’s Creative Director, Bernardo Rojo, along with CEO Tony Sapienza and President Kenton Selvey , the IAVA, JCPenney and in conjunction with leading New York athletes Shaun O’Hara, Kevin Boss, Matt Dodge, Antrell Rolle, Corey Webster, Terrell Thomas, Bear Pascoe and Deon Grant, “Combat to Career” care packages were filled with essentials to help returning vets transition back into civilian life. Players and vets stood side-by-side as they got into the holiday, mingled with shoppers and took pictures.
This fall 2010, JOE Joseph Abboud, JCPenney, and IAVA celebrated veterans with the national campaign “Welcome Home Joe’” which provided Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with $1 million in certificates to purchase professional attires as the transitioned to the civilian workforce.
