TrueCar, AutoNation and DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Partner to Help Injured Veterans Get Back Behind the Wheel through D...
October 21 2019 - 9:00AM
For the third year running, TrueCar Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE) is teaming
up with AutoNation and DAV (Disabled American Veterans) as part of
its DrivenToDrive program. Created for injured veterans who have
made sacrifices for our independence, DrivenToDrive helps those
with service-connected disabilities regain their own freedom and
get back behind the wheel of vehicles. DrivenToDrive is a program
created to honor American veterans who have lost this privilege of
driving and want to regain their independence.
Cars represent more than simply a means of getting from point A
to point B. From the moment someone gets their license and through
every stage of life, driving means freedom and independence. It's a
privilege easily taken for granted, until it’s lost. According to
the U.S. Department of Labor, 4.7 million veterans have
service-connected disabilities. While this community faces a number
of challenges each day, physical mobility can be one of the most
difficult to overcome.
“Mobility is a privilege not to be taken for granted,” said Mike
Darrow, Interim CEO & President of TrueCar. “Driving is core to
independence and a significant expression of autonomy — something
we honor every day at TrueCar. In partnership with AutoNation and
DAV, we are empowering the men and women who have served our
country and deserve our full support for their sacrifices. They
fought for our freedom, and TrueCar is committed to helping them
get back behind the wheel, so they may regain theirs.”
“As one of TrueCar’s long-standing partners, we are proud to
support DrivenToDrive and military veterans,” said Marc Cannon,
Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at AutoNation.
“We look forward to presenting the winning veteran with a brand
new, retrofitted vehicle this year.”
"DAV has been a proud partner of the DrivenToDrive program since
its inception, working closely with TrueCar to help those who have
served our nation dramatically improve their quality of life," said
Marc Burgess, DAV’s National Adjutant. "This program is closely
aligned with our mission to honor the men and women who served, and
we’re grateful to TrueCar for recognizing their selfless
sacrifice.”
This marks the third year of TrueCar’s DrivenToDrive program. An
event awarding the 2019 winning veteran with a new, retrofitted
vehicle will take place on November 8, 2019 at the AutoNation
Chevrolet Pembroke Pines dealership in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
