BNSF Railway Foundation Matching
Every day we see and hear the passing of many trains in our towns, but to Tri States Public Radio none have a sweeter sound or are more beautiful than those giant orange and black locomotives of BNSF Railway!
During the day today, you might have hear the train whistle and a lot of talk about matching money from the BNSF Railway Foundation. We are extremely fortunate to have been offered this opportunity and we thought you should know more about the BNSF Railway Foundation. As you might already be aware, they have offered to match pledges from you, our listeners-up to $5000!
The BNSF Railway Foundation is incorporated within the State of Texas and is housed at BNSF Railway's corporate headquarters in Fort Worth. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Foundation had been BNSF Railway's main vehicle for charitable giving since 1996 when the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroads merged to form the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, now known as the BNSF Railway. The BNSF Railway Foundation has supported and helped improve quality of life for thousands of communities across the 28 states through which BNSF operates, and where BNSF employees live, work and volunteer. Indeed, as the corporation’s assets have grown, the Foundation's giving has expanded to help more and more communities.
Tri States Public Radio is delighted to have been selected to partner with BNSF Raiway Foundation in support of our communities. So, the next time you see that big orange and black locomotive go by while you’re waiting at the crossing, give ‘em a tip of the hat and a great big thank you!
