Sonepar and Klein Tools donate $8K to the Bob Woodruff Foundation
Sonepar and Klein Tools donated $8,004 to the Bob Woodruff Foundation as part of a collaborative initiative supporting veterans.
The contribution marks the culmination of the program’s inaugural year, during which a portion of proceeds from each sale of custom Klein Tools pliers was directed to the foundation. These funds help support programs for wounded veterans and their families. The limited-edition lineman’s pliers, engraved with the American flag, are available exclusively through Sonepar company branches and websites.
“Sonepar and Klein Tools are proving once again that they have the backs of our nation’s he-roes,” said Anne Marie Dougherty, CEO of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. “Our partnership with these great companies has allowed us to fund critical veterans services programs providing housing assistance, mental health care, and job training in communities across America. We are so excited for what the second year of our campaign will mean for our mili-tary veterans and their families.”
The joint program was launched on Veterans Day in 2024 and will continue as an annual partnership to show appreciation for the military community. The patriotic plier design is also a nod to Klein Tools’ iconic American-made products.
“We’re proud to make this donation to the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which provides aid to the military families who’ve made so many sacrifices to our country,” said Bill Mortimer, director of strategic vendor engagement for Sonepar. “The partnership between Sonepar, Klein Tools and the Bob Woodruff Foundation is one we hope to grow in the years to come.”
