Hattiesburg, MS – January 20, 2025

The Identification Systems Group (ISG), the nationwide network of local identification system integrators, is pleased to announce that it has donated over $38,000 to the FOUND. Mission in Lubbock, Texas. The FOUND. Mission has developed a model that is ready to be implemented in any school, laying a foundation that has been tested, tweaked and proven successful. They are willing to share and help other areas by providing the CORE4 to any student in need.

The CORE4 includes providing kids with snacks, school supplies, clothing and hygiene products.

The donations were collected at the ISG’s Annual Fall Meeting which took place this time in St. Petersburg, FL. Members and Partners made cash and check donations, bid on silent auction items and purchased points at a Topgolf charity event. “We are honored to donate to a worthy cause like the FOUND. Mission,” says Brian Swistak, the ISG’s Executive Director. “We believe that helping to meet the educational needs of underprivileged children is a win for everyone.”

“The abundant generosity of the ISG has already been a boost to our organization on several levels. Their concern and appreciation for our mission, their shared commitment to provide a secure place for students to learn, and their encouragement to press on in a cause they find worthy was exactly what we needed,” says Shea Politte, the Founder of FOUND. Mission. “Thank you for including me in your meeting – it’s an experience I will not soon forget – and the impact of your financial donation will be felt for years to come!”
