Bridgestone Retail Operations LLC (BSRO) has donated $55,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), concluding a month-long campaign of BSRO making a financial gift for every set of Firestone tires sold.
The company’s 2,200 stores participated in the event.
BSRO and WWP also hosted an injured and their guest at the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 in Indianapolis, Ind., during Memorial Day weekend.
“Providing our nation’s veterans with the resources they need for reintegration into civilian life is a longstanding commitment for our business,” says Marko Ibrahim, president of BSRO.
“It is a privilege to support the important work of the Wounded Warrior Project as they continue to change and save the lives of injured veterans and their families each and every day.”
“Thanks to the generosity of the Bridgestone team and their customers, warriors and their families never pay a penny for our programs and services,” says Brea Kratzert, vice president of business and development for WWP.
