KAR Business Units Support Progressive’s Annual Keys to Progress® Event Honoring America’s Veterans
November 07 2017 - 9:00AM
A reliable vehicle can mean independence and easier access to work,
medical care and educational opportunities for our nation’s
veterans – especially for those who live in rural areas with
limited public transportation. That’s why KAR Auction Services,
Inc. (NYSE:KAR), a global vehicle remarketing and technology
solutions provider, and its business units Insurance Auto Auctions,
Inc. (IAA) and Preferred Warranties, Inc. (PWI) have teamed up with
Progressive in support of its fifth annual Keys to Progress® event.
Every November in honor of Veterans Day,
Progressive and its partners host a one-day vehicle giveaway event
for veterans. This year, IAA will donate nine vehicles to veterans
honored during the event on Nov. 9, 2017. PWI will provide one-year
service contracts for most of the more than 100 vehicles donated to
veterans at the event.
The Keys to Progress® event takes place at 68
locations across the country including Progressive Service Centers,
one-stop facilities where Progressive handles claims and
coordinates repairs for customers. At each of the locations,
veterans and their families will be presented with keys to their
vehicle. Since 2013, Keys to Progress® has donated more than 500
vehicles collectively to deserving veterans, their families and
veterans’ organizations.
“Progressive’s Keys to Progress® program is an
opportunity for the broader automotive claims industry to come
together and support those who have selflessly served our nation,”
said John Kett, CEO and president of IAA. “IAA is proud to continue
its collaboration with Progressive and help provide transportation
support to our military men and women.”
PWI’s one-year vehicle service contracts give the
veterans and their families peace of mind knowing their donated
vehicle is protected.
IAA will be donating vehicles in the following
Progressive locations:
- 300 N. Commons Blvd., Mayfield Village, Ohio
- 1410 NW 78th Ave., Miami, Fla.
- 4030 Crescent Park Dr., Riverview, Fla.
