RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Nov. 03, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions has continued its longstanding tradition of supporting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, raising a significant amount of funds to honor America’s first responders, military heroes, and their families. In 2026, the company donated $34,941 to the foundation, bringing its total contributions over the past six years to more than $183,000.
According to Rance Poehler, President and CEO of Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, the company’s VALOR Employee Resource Group has played a crucial role in fostering this partnership.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Fallen First Responder Home Program is a key beneficiary of Toshiba’s contributions. This program pays off mortgages for the families of law enforcement officers and firefighters who are killed in the line of duty or pass away from 9/11-related illnesses, leaving behind young children. The program aims to provide stability for these families, allowing them to remain in their homes, schools, and communities without the financial burden of a mortgage.
Dora Merrick, Senior Global Product Line Manager and Tunnel to Towers Team Lead at Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, emphasized the importance of the company’s ongoing support.
Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is a wholly owned subsidiary of Toshiba Tec Corporation, which is traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The company’s commitment to giving back and supporting those who serve is reflected in its diverse Employee Resource Groups, including the Women’s Impact Network (WIN), BUILT (Blacks United in Leadership and Technology), The South Asian Community, and AccessAbility Network. These groups help foster connection among employees while creating opportunities to support the communities where employees live and work.
Through its continued support of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions demonstrates its dedication to honoring the sacrifices of America’s first responders and military heroes. The company’s contributions over the past six years have not only provided financial assistance but have also brought the community together in a meaningful way.
