Sobieski Vodka today announced plans to renew its multi-year support of the Fisher House Foundation, a unique partnership that supports active and veteran members of the U.S. military and their families.
Just in time for the holidays, Sobieski will continue its successful “Save & Donate” program, which links consumer rebates to corporate donations. A similar promotion, launched in 2013, raised more than $56,000.
Through the Save & Donate program, consumers will be able to submit mail-in rebates for up to $5 per bottle of Sobieski Vodka purchased between October 1 and January 31, 2015. Sobieski will match that rebate as a donation to Fisher House.
“The Fisher House Foundation is a tireless proponent for the men and women of the U.S. military and their families, and Sobieski is proud to have continually supported its mission since 2012,” said Chester Brandes, President & CEO of Imperial Brands, Inc., the exclusive importer of Sobieski Vodka. Sobieski has participated in and sponsored a number of Fisher House events, including its 2014 Fisher House Golf Classic in Leesburg, VA.
“The heart of the Fisher House program has always been to serve those who serve our country and their families,” said Ken Fisher, Chairman and CEO of Fisher House Foundation. “Since 1990 we have helped support more than 200,000 families during the most trying time of their lives. We could not continue to build these comfort homes without the continued support of the American public and partners like Sobieski. Sobieski’s generosity will continue to have an impact on military families for years to come.”
Fisher House broke ground earlier this year on a new facility at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee (Wisconsin). This will soon join homes that were recently opened in Gainesville (Florida) and Fairfield (California). Plans are currently underway for facilities in Tucson (Arizona) and the greater Cleveland (Ohio) area as well.
Sobieski Vodka, one of the world’s best-selling and fastest-growing vodka brands, makes no compromises on quality and exemplifies the height of Polish craftsmanship and authenticity. Building on a noble heritage, Sobieski Vodka is produced exclusively from the revered Dankowski rye at the Starogard Gdański distillery, which dates to 1846.

Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes at which military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment. These homes are located at major military and VA medical centers nationwide, and in Europe, close to the medical center or hospital it serves. Fisher Houses have up to 21 suites, with private bedrooms and baths. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room and an inviting living room. Fisher House Foundation ensures that there is never a lodging fee. Since inception, the program has saved military and veterans’ families an estimated $235 million in out of pocket costs for lodging and transportation.
