Maid Brigade Giveaway for Vets

Week of July 13, 2009

They've earned their medals in the U.S. Armed Forces. Now veterans can prove their mettle in the business world with the Maid Brigade Veterans Franchise Giveaway, a program that will award more than $1.5 million in business ownership opportunities to more than 100 veterans -- creating more than 1,000 jobs nationwide. The contest comes at a time when America's economy is down, but patriotism is high. Maid Brigade, the award-winning residential cleaning service and longtime supporter of the military, is offering new careers to veterans, a group it considers worthy, qualified, and proven as franchise owners. Currently, 10 percent of Maid Brigade owners are veterans -- others in the network come from a range of careers. The contest will launch on Independence Day, July 4, and conclude on Veterans Day, Nov.11, 2009. To apply, veterans must visit www.maidbrigadegiveaway.com to complete the form and submit a short essay by Sept. 30 on how their military responsibilities would translate to successful Maid Brigade franchise ownership.
