Kinetic Serving Those Who Serve Through Fisher House Donation

  • Kinetic’s annual golf tournament raised $10,000 to donate to the Friends of the Lexington Fisher House organization.
  • The Fisher House is known for supporting veterans and their families during medical procedures with complementary lodging and meals close to medical facilities.

LEXINGTON, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kinetic, a leading provider of residential and small business internet services, is proud to announce that its annual employee-run golf tournament raised $10,000 for the Friends of the Lexington Fisher House, an organization known for supporting service members, veterans and their families.

Driven by the shared goal of supporting the Friends of the Lexington Fisher House, the tournament saw enthusiastic participation from Kinetic employees and local golf enthusiasts alike.

“Our annual golf tournament is a testament to Kinetic's commitment to community engagement and support for veterans and their families,” said Jason Dudley, director of Kinetic’s Kentucky Field Operations. “We are proud to donate this year’s proceeds to the Friends of the Lexington Fisher House, ensuring that they can continue providing essential services that make a difference in the lives of those who have selflessly served our country.”

The fundraiser featured a full day of golf, complimented by a silent auction and donation opportunities, all contributing to the fundraising goal. By partnering with the Friends of the Lexington Fisher House, Kinetic aims to uplift and enhance the lives of veterans and their families in Kentucky and beyond.

“The Fisher House is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free lodging for families of veterans receiving medical care at nearby VA medical centers, offering a crucial ‘home away from home’ during challenging times,” said Susan Murray, a board member of Friends of the Lexington Fisher House. “Generous donations from companies like Kinetic, make it easier to serve our veterans and families and alleviate the burden that lodging and meals can take on them. This way service members can get the care they need, with those they care about most nearby.”

This annual fundraising event brings together Kinetic employees, partners, customers, and community members to support local veteran friendly causes and strengthen community ties.

“Community organizations like the Fisher House are important to Kinetic because of the impact they have made on numerous employees and military veterans throughout the Kinetic family,” said Dudley. “From my own personal experience in 2008, after I received medical care and stayed at the Fisher House in San Antonio, they provided me with a huge relief during that challenging time.”
