    GEORGETOWN, Texas, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Service men and women will receive more than a million minutes of phone/internet talk time over the Holidays through Sport Clips' donation to the Veterans of Foreign Wars' (VFW) Operation Uplink. Operation Uplink is a VFW program that keeps military personnel and hospitalized veterans in touch with their families and loved ones.

    As the nation's leading men and boy's hair care provider, Sport Clips announced that its Team Members and Clients raised more than $118,000 through its 600+ locations across the country for the donation.

    The gift was presented to Roy J. Grona , State Adjutant/Quartermaster of the Department of Texas VFW, at the Sport Clips store in Bee Cave, Texas, that outpaced all other stores across the country in raising funds for this effort.

    Sport Clips founder and CEO Gordon Logan , himself a veteran and Lifetime VFW member, said, "It is powerful that members of our Team and the Clients we serve have shattered our goal of raising $100,000 for our troops to call home - especially in tight economic times. It shows their commitment to the men and women who are serving our country and their family and friends back home."

    Logan added, "I know how important it is to hear the voices of loved ones when you are overseas for months at a time, having been there myself. It's our honor and privilege to make this a Holiday gift to those who are selflessly serving our country."
