Family-owned Tire Discounters is honored to have raised $40,000 to support Wounded Warrior Project® during its fundraising event held across 135+ stores. Tire Discounters customers generously donated $19,934 and Tire Discounters donated the remainder by contributing a one-dollar donation per customer for social media shares and visits to the store to achieve a total of $40,000, nearly doubling last year’s donation. “We are blown away by the generosity of our customers. Raising funds and awareness for our veterans is a cause we can all get behind,” Jamie Ward, Tire Discounters President.

Funds raised in support of Wounded Warrior Project® will provide programs and services for warriors, which include access to mental and physical health care, employment assistance, and education services. “Tire Discounters is proud to support veterans through this donation and by employing many reservists, active duty, veterans, and their spouses,” Charles Curlee, Tire Discounters Vice President Retail Sales, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran.
