We're profoundly grateful for the sacrifices our veterans have made for our country. To give back, we're trying to make the lives of the most disabled veterans a little easier.
Mountainside Miracles
Mountainside miracles occurred in April 2008, when more than 350 profoundly disabled veterans took to the slopes at the 22nd Annual Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Winter Sports Clinic in Colorado.
Thanks to adaptive equipment and techniques, men and women with spinal cord injuries or disease, orthopedic amputations, visual impairments and other disabilities were given the opportunity to take part in Alpine and Nordic skiing.
Alternative activities included rock climbing, scuba diving, snowmobiling and sled hockey, in addition to various seminars and social programs. We're proud to be a major sponsor of this life-changing DAV event.
Van Donation
Another way we help America's heroes is through an annual van donation program. In the summer of 2008, we presented 7 Taurus X's to the DAV for distribution to the Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals, bringing the total number of vans and crossover vehicles donated since 1997 to 132.
