Securitas Supports Five Charitable Organizations in 2020

Securitas Electronic Security, Inc. (SES) has donated $10,000 to support five charitable organizations: The Children of Fallen Patriots, Stand Up to Cancer, the Dallas Fallen Officers Foundation, the ALS Association, and the Friends of Flight 93 Memorial. The donations are in lieu of SES’ annual philanthropic effort as part of the Global Security Exchange (GSX) tradeshow where $2 is donated per booth visitor.

Due to COVID the GSX show was held virtually this fall, making the in-booth visitor scans impossible.

“The SES team is proud to again support the mission of each of these important charitable organizations,” said Tony Byerly, president & CEO, Securitas Electronic Security, Inc. “Although we were not able to raise awareness in-person at our annual industry tradeshows like in years past, we remain committed to supporting our communities and worthy causes. We proudly support the scholarship, research, educational, memorial, community and outreach efforts these groups work to cultivate.”
