Fla. Tire Pros Dealer Plans Veterans Day Charity Drive

Auto Spot Tire Pros, located in Jacksonville, Fla., will celebrate Veterans Day by teaming up with Birdies for the Brave in support of military members and their families.  

From Nov. 8-30, Auto Spot’s two Jacksonville locations will invite customers to make a donation of $1 or $5 at the register, and match customer-donated funds up to $500. During the same time period, Auto Spot will increase its standard 10% discount for military members and veterans to 20%.

With numerous family members who have served in the military and one veteran on the staff, owners Cami and John Mourao are heartfelt in their support for our nation’s courageous American heroes and their families.
    
“As Americans, we all owe the brave men and women of our U.S. Armed Forces and their families an enormous debt of gratitude,” said Cami Mourao. “Partnering with the Birdies for the Brave program makes a tremendous amount of sense, given our shared passion for supporting our military and our mutual admiration for all that these courageous heroes do to keep America free and safe. We look forward to continuing our more than 10-year tradition of supporting our troops and look forward to joining forces with our loyal customers on this and other military fundraising opportunities.”

Birdies for the Brave is a national military outreach initiative proudly supported by the PGA TOUR. It was created in 2006 by PGA Tour player Phil Mickelson and his wife, Amy, to support combat-wounded veterans.
