EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Atlas Van Lines is teaming up with Shriners Children’s to support its mission of providing life changing specialty care to children, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
Through the partnership, a portion of proceeds from qualifying Atlas services will be donated to Shriners Children’s to help fund critical care, groundbreaking research and comprehensive patient support programs.
“When a child needs specialized medical care, access shouldn’t be a barrier for any family,” said Ryan McConnell, president and COO of Atlas Van Lines. “At Atlas, we are focused on supporting the communities we serve in meaningful ways, and this partnership allows us to make an impact and bring greater visibility to this important mission.”
Atlas will also support Shriners Children’s through national campaigns, event participation and charitable contributions tied to its services, creating new opportunities to engage customers and communities in giving back.
