Spring Touch Lawn & Pest Control, based in St. Peter, Minn., threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Minnesota Twins game at Target Field on June 2 in support of Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops.

Project EverGreen recognizes this week—June 10-16—as GreenCare for Troops Awareness Week.

GreenCare for Troops provides military families and post-9/11 veterans with a service-connected disability with free lawn care and landscaping services. The program is in its 12th year and has seen more than 11,000 military families and veterans register to receive donated lawn care and landscape services from more than 6,000 green industry professionals.

Nathan Newlands, Spring Touch’s vice president of franchising and one of Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops volunteers, threw the first pitch. His goal is to raise $10,000 for GreenCare for Troops, Project EverGreen said.
