Awesome!!!!....a Press release about our incredible sponsor Ready Auto Transport!!!! Check it out! PHOENIX -- Ready Auto Transport has signed on as a lead sponsor of the Ride 430 Challenge, a four-day, 430-mile bike ride that raises money for injured military service people and their families and is one of the nation’s premier philanthropic cycling events. The company plans to raise $100,000 to support military families in their recovery, providing everything from financial assistance and scholarships to new homes, adaptive sports equipment and camps for children who have lost a parent in combat. “We know the need for assistance and support of injured service people and their families will continue long after our troops have come home,” said Jerry Tassone, the company’s President. “America’s brave military men, women and families are in it for the long haul, and Ready Auto Transport is proud to support them as they travel the road to recovery.” Tassone says a majority of Ready Auto Transport’s employees are veterans themselves, or have family members who have or are currently serving in the U.S. military. “Our sponsorship of the Ride 430 Challenge honors our employees’ commitment and is a tribute to all military families who sacrifice so much for our country.” As part of its “Road to Recovery” fundraising campaign, the company has organized a series of fundraising and volunteer events. It kicked-off the campaign with a guest appearance at the corporate office by Lt. Col. Tres Smith, Commander of the Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369 “Gunfighters,” and a captain of the Ride 430 Challenge team. In the coming months, the company will engage its network of automotive dealers, carriers, employees, and subsidiaries of its parent company, Cox Enterprises, to contribute to the cause. Ready Auto Transport is a title sponsor of the Freedom Swing golf tournament, which benefits the Ride 430 Challenge, and will host Opening Ceremonies for the Ride at its Gilbert, Ariz., headquarters on October 8, 2014. Since its inception in 2008, the Ride 430 Challenge has raised more than $1.8 million to support injured soldiers and their families. The average charitable bike ride raises just $12,000 a year.
