PTS Financial and Buddy’s Donate $5K to American Legion

James Bond, Tony Farrell, Joe Gazzo and John Blair present $5,000 to the American Legion of Panama City, FL.
APRO Members PTS Financial Services and Buddy’s Home Furnishings recently partnered to contribute $5,000 to the American Legion of Panama City, FL, in the wake of the town’s devastation from Hurricane Michael. PTS Financial’s John Blair and Tony Farrell, along with Buddy’s James Bond, Joe Gazzo and Mike Zajar, toured the area before presenting their donation – which will be used to help veterans displaced by the storm – to the organization’s officers. “Please help veterans and their families in this community,” requested Farrell as he presented the check to the American Legion Commander.
