Veterans Day is a day set aside for remembering the incredible sacrifices that members of our armed services have made throughout the history of America.  We salute the brave men and women that have kept us safe from the Revolutionary War and World War II to Iraq and Afghanistan and everything in between.  All Americans are eternally in their debt.  While we can never repay the sacrifices they have made, we can give them a hand once they’ve returned from defending our freedom.  That’s why Spark Energy has partnered with Helping a Hero, an organization that helps veterans transition back to civilian life.  We’re proud to be a leading supporter of Helping a Hero in a variety of ways, from donating free electricity to veterans to helping build homes for injured veterans.

Spark Energy's new Power for Heroes plan offers a way to support wounded veterans

In honor of Memorial Day, Spark Energy is launching Power for Heroes, a new electricity plan that gives you the opportunity to lock in a special low rate while making a difference in the lives of wounded U.S. military veterans.

To offer the Power for Heroes plan, Spark Energy has partnered with Helping a Hero, a nonprofit, non-partisan organization that supports military personnel severely injured in the war on terror.

When you sign up for the Power for Heroes plan, Spark Energy will donate a portion of your electric bill to Helping a Hero. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy a special low rate while helping fund critical services for wounded veterans.

“The troops have done so much for us and for this country,” said Phil Tonge, President of Spark Energy. “They deserve more than our remembrance — they deserve our support. That’s why we’ve created this innovative electricity plan to support the troops and help ease their transition back to civilian life after the incredible sacrifices they’ve made.”

Helping a Hero provides funding for financial, emotional, educational and career support, finances specially-adapted homes for disabled service members and assists communities with finding ways to deliver needed services and resources for wounded veterans and their families.

“Working with Spark Energy is a great way to raise money for our wounded heroes,” said Meredith Iler, President of Helping a Hero. “Everyone needs electricity. Why not get it from a company that makes a difference?”
