Operation Green Light: Honoring Our Veterans

SHINE A LIGHT OF GRATITUDE 

At Profinium, we proudly participate in Operation Green Light, a nationwide initiative that honors and supports our military veterans. By illuminating our bank branches and homes with green lights during the week leading up to Veterans Day (November 4-11), we aim to send a clear message: our veterans are seen, appreciated, and supported. 

If you feel inspired to do the same, scroll to learn how you can participate. 

Why It Matters

Approximately 250,000 service members transition to civilian life each year. Studies show that 44–72% of veterans experience high levels of stress during this transition. By participating in Operation Green Light, you're helping to raise awareness of these challenges and demonstrating your support for our veterans' well-being.

1) Join Us in Lighting the Way

We invite you to join this heartfelt tribute by changing one light bulb at your home or business to green or by displaying a green light in your window November 4 - 11, 2025. This simple act serves as a beacon of appreciation and a symbol of support for the sacrifices made by our service members.

2) Making a Meaningful Impact

Thanks to the collective efforts of our community in 2024, we raised over $1,000 for Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, an organization dedicated to assisting veterans and their families. In 2025, we would like to see that donation amount go above and beyond. Your participation helps provide essential resources and support to those who have served our country.  Stop by any of our branch locations and make a free-will donation in exchange for a green light bulb. 

 

3) Connect Supporting Organizations
