More than 10 years ago, the CATA and area new-car dealers partnered with the USO to create the Barbecue for the Troops campaign. The program has raised crucial funds in the form of $1.2 million for the USO to support local service members and their families. These funds directly impact more than 300,000 troops and their families annually.
This past fall, the CATA recognized the dealers who have participated in the program every year over the last 10 years. Congratulations to the following dealerships that have achieved the 10-Year Milestone Award:
- Brilliance Honda
- Chevrolet of Homewood
- Jennings Chevrolet
- Jennings Volkswagen
- Oak Lawn Toyota
“The Barbecue for the Troops initiative is a perfect example of the vital role that dealers play in their communities,” said CATA President Jennifer Morand. “We look forward to this continued partnership with the USO and express our gratitude to the many dealerships that participate in the program year after year.”
