Background

Red, White and Bundled grew out of a visit by Tillis, the program’s founder, to Fort Bragg in early 2015.

Her day job is broker in charge of the Allen Tate office in Davidson. Her husband Thom is US Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

“Through the years, we have received thank you notes from hundreds of new moms which underscore the positive impact that the Foundation is having on the lives of our military families. It is an honor to continue to serve those who serve us.” commented Tillis.
