Automotive State of The Union
You Can’t Put a Price on Gratitude. But They’re Donating $100K Anyway.
On this Saturday episode, Chris Reeves joins Paul and Kyle to talk about how Phil Long Dealerships continues its proud military tradition with a November-long giveback campaign benefiting Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center. With every vehicle sold, Phil Long honors veterans, military members, and their families—potentially raising up to $100,000 this year.
“Less than 1% of Americans currently serve in the military, and about 6% of our nation’s population are veterans,” said Kevin Shaughnessy, CEO of Phil Long Dealerships. “We’re proud to align with Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center in supporting these brave men and women and their families who have sacrificed a great deal for our country.”
