WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Oct. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuse announced today its continued partnership with DAV (Disabled American Veterans). For the second consecutive year, Vuse is donating $100,000 to DAV, a nonprofit charity that provides a lifetime of support to veterans of all generations and their families.

Vuse will also showcase DAV's mission throughout November, spotlighting Enrique Ramos and Robert Graves, two United States Marine Corps (USMC) veterans and members of DAV's Escondido Chapter in California in celebration of Veterans Day. Vuse will also honor those who share Vuse's commitment to bring inspiration and creativity to their communities.

"It is an honor to make this donation and partner with DAV for the second year in a row," said Kim Gonzales, Senior Director for Vuse. "We feel fortunate to be able to provide these heroes with a platform to share their stories and the resources to support the important work that DAV does every day."

Beginning on the first of November, Vuse will share limited edition DAV-themed Vuse Alto wraps with all Vuse Alto product purchases made at www.Vuse.com and in select retail outlets across the country. These wraps are intended to help drive awareness of the cause among age 21+ adult tobacco consumers, and to encourage them to make their own contribution at www.DAV.org/Vuse.
