Company hopes to raise more than $10,000 for WNY Heroes
Western New York's tire retailer and automotive services provider Dunn Tire is giving customers a chance to be a hero in support of the area's many military heroes by participating in the "Stars for Heroes" program.
Throughout the month of May, customers at all 29 Dunn Tire locations in New York and Pennsylvania will be able to purchase a special star in support of WNY Heroes, a local veterans' assistance organization. For a minimum donation of $1, customers can purchase the star and put their name and a message of support on it. The stars will be displayed throughout the store during May.
Dunn Tire officials hope to raise more than $10,000 for WNY Heroes through the program.
"There are so many brave, honorable military veterans living in our community who deserve our gratitude and, more important, our support, in recognition of their service and sacrifice," said Robert Clark, managing director of retail operations at Dunn Tire. "The work that WNY Heroes does for, with and on behalf of our community's veterans, is remarkable. As a local company, we are happy to support them in their mission to support other veterans here in Western New York, and we hope our customers will once again join the effort."
Dunn Tire has a strong history with Western New York's veterans community. The company has raised more than $30,000 for WNY Heroes through various fundraising efforts, and has previously partnered with others to provide local veterans new, safe seasonal tires for their vehicles.
Founded in 2007, WNY Heroes provides veterans, members of the armed services, and the widows and children of deceased veterans with access to essential services, financial assistance and resources that support their lives and sustain their dignity.
Established in 1973, Dunn Tire operates 14 retail locations across Western New York. In addition to large selection of tires and tire-related services (including seasonal tire changeover, tire rotation, alignment and flat tire repairs), Dunn Tire offers a full complement of automotive services.
