In partnership with the National Auto Body Council and its Recycled Rides® program, two Hendrick Collision Centers refurbished vehicles for a couple of deserving Georgia veterans and their families.
The presentation of these vehicles, which were donated by USAA as part of its 100th
anniversary celebration, will be gifted to military families across the country as part of its 100 NABC Recycled Rides® program. The event recently took place at the National Museum
of the Mighty Eighth Air Force in Savannah, Georgia.
Teammates from Hendrick Luxury Collision of Charlotte, North Carolina and Hendrick Chevrolet Collision of Buford, Georgia were on hand for the delivery.
Patricia Baisden, a U.S. Army Veteran who was nominated by Southern Crescent Veterans Services, was presented a 2018 Mazda 3 Touring that was repaired by Hendrick Luxury Collision of Charlotte while Alysha Landers, U.S. Army Veteran who was nominated by Southern Crescent Veterans Services and American Veteran Post #911, received a 2015 Toyota Camry that was repaired by Hendrick Chevrolet Collision of Buford.
“We ask our veterans and their families to sacrifice for the benefit of us all,” said Dallas Clark, director of collision center operations, Hendrick Collision. “Our teammates are humbled by the opportunity to serve in any way they can. We are grateful that NABC asked us to help; they are tremendous partners and are impressive in their longstanding and deep commitment to our veterans. These projects were the least we could do for everything they have afforded us.”
NABC Recycled Rides® is a unique program in which businesses representing all facets of the collision repair industry team up to repair and donate vehicles to individuals and families in need of reliable transportation. Since the inception of the NABC Recycled Rides® program in 2007, members of the National Auto Body Council® have donated nearly 3,000 vehicles valued at nearly $42 million.
“We are so proud to join our member USAA in their 100th anniversary celebration, and grateful to our members Gerber Collision & Glass and Hendrick Collision which refurbished all of today’s beautiful vehicles,” said Dale Ross, NABC Recycled Rides® program manager. “It is such an honor to meet these military members and their families and hear their stories. We are indebted to their service to the country and are committed help them continue their path to independence and success with the gift of reliable transportation.”
