Braking for a Cause: $7,740 Raised to Support Veterans
This May, every brake job helped save lives! In honor of Military Appreciation Month, we partnered with Battle Buddy Response Team, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing veteran suicide through 24/7 support, crisis response, and community outreach. Thanks to your support, we’re proud to share that we raised $7,740 for veterans across the country!
"BBRT is profoundly grateful for the partnership with GreatWater 360 Auto Care. Their 'Brake for a Cause' campaign is not just about car care; it's a powerful demonstration of community support for our nation's veterans. This generous donation directly fuels our 24/7 crisis support and outreach programs, enabling us to continue our vital mission of preventing veteran suicide and ensuring no veteran is left behind. We look forward to a continued partnership that truly makes a difference."
