While Veteran’s Day has come and passed, a local car dealership is celebrating our nation’s heroes all month long.
Aaron Mueller, the Sales Manager for new vehicles at Maritime Ford in Manitowoc, tells SeehaferNews.com that the company has traditionally given away a free car wash to a veteran every November, but this year, he wanted to do more.
So, he met with other local veterans and came with a new idea.
“So I came up with the idea to donate $250 to every car we sell throughout the month of November…to the local Veteran’s Commission,” he explained. “They can decide how to dole out money to the veterans that are in need here in Manitowoc County.”
So far, the promotion has gone very well, especially since the employees were very excited by the news.
“Especially my sales staff that is pushing this event to everybody that buys a car,” Mueller said. “We treat them and make them feel like they are heroes because they are the ones that we’re donating on their behalf because they’re purchasing units from us.”
Additionally, any veteran who purchases a vehicle from Maritime Ford gets a $500 discount throughout Veteran’s Month, which Mueller says is just another way they are trying to give back to those who gave so much for our freedoms.
At the start of the promotion, Mueller aimed to raise $6,000, but given its popularity, he now anticipates handing over a check worth over $10,000 to the Manitowoc County Veteran Service Commission.
That check is expected to be handed over some time in early December.
