Sun Auto Tire & Service Making a Difference for Veterans
Sun Auto Tire & Service has embraced a mission to give back to the community, recently achieving significant success through their oil change initiative in partnership with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. This organization is renowned for supporting America's heroes—providing mortgage-free homes to catastrophically injured veterans, first responders, Gold Star families, and the families of fallen first responders.
Driving Change Through Giving
The Giving Tuesday initiative focused on donating $5 for every oil change to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The campaign was a tremendous success, resulting in a remarkable contribution of $20,000. This large sum will support crucial initiatives that help veterans regain their footing and offer hope to them and their families.

This collaboration is not just about financial contributions; it’s an ongoing commitment to enhance the lives of veterans through various programs, ensuring they have the resources they need.
Building Stronger Communities
Sun Auto’s commitment doesn’t end with financial donations. They have also partnered with Tunnel to Towers on initiatives focused on the Veteran Career Program, which aims to facilitate employment pathways for veterans. This multifaceted approach ensures that veterans are not only supported in housing but also have access to ample employment opportunities.
