MALTA — Mohawk Chevrolet Sale and Leasing Advisory Dax Beach presented the Veterans & Community Housing Coalition (VCHC) and one Mohawk Chevrolet customer with a donation of $600 combined on Feb. 8. This comes after a month-long effort to raise awareness for the VCHC.
Beach initiated the campaign with a drawing for all customers who leased or financed a car with him, promising to make an upcoming car payment and match the exact amount as a cash donation to the VCHC.
The campaign aims to raise awareness for the local nonprofit, which provides housing and support services to all homeless military veterans and their families. The organization also advocates for all military veterans and their families and provides housing opportunities for low-income households.
“This donation will help us with the grassroots effort to build Foreverly House, which we are planning to break ground on this summer. We have about 30 homeless veteran mothers with children who will take advantage of this one-of-a-kind house,” said Michelle Viola-Straight, Director of Community Relations for VCHC. “We are very thankful for this contribution.”
Mohawk Chevrolet customer Rob O’Donnell received the $300 donation. O’Donnell is the Founder of Expedition Yeti, an initiative that raises funds for children’s cancer. He founded the organization as a father of a young cancer survivor. In 2021, O’Donnell raised more than $15,000 to support children’s cancer research.
“As of today, we have raised $7,320,” said O’Donnell. “This contribution will only add to that amount, and we are very grateful for what Dax provides us.”
