Global Industrial spotlights veterans at NASCAR race this weekend
Global Industrial Company announced its Partnerships With Purpose service initiative will continue to raise awareness for veterans through its support of K9s For Warriors.
Through Global Industrial's partnership with Richard Childress Racing (RCR), K9s For Warriors will be featured on the No. 21 Chevrolet, driven by Austin Hill, during the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway this Memorial Day weekend.
K9s For Warriors is a national nonprofit organization that provides highly trained service dogs to U.S. military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"), traumatic brain injury and other invisible wounds of war at no financial cost to the veteran. Partnerships With Purpose is Global Industrial's service initiative platform that reflects the company's commitment to meaningful social engagement.
"Global Industrial is honored to recognize and thank the members of the U.S. Armed Forces for their service and sacrifice this Memorial Day weekend. We are proud to sponsor K9s For Warriors and support their mission to empower veterans," said CEO Anesa Chaibi. "Coming together for this race highlights the impact we can make through our Partnerships With Purpose initiative. We're grateful to Richard Childress Racing, and our other partners for joining us in supporting our veterans and their families."
"K9s For Warriors is extremely grateful to Global Industrial for their ongoing support of our mission to save lives at both ends of the leash through its Partnerships With Purpose initiative," said Lindsay Grayson, chief revenue officer at K9s For Warriors. "As we honor our fallen heroes this Memorial Day, we remember all the sacrifices they have made for our country and our freedom. K9s For Warriors is thankful to Richard Childress Racing and Austin Hill for playing such a vital role in helping us raise awareness about our organization's commitment to saving Veteran lives."
"It's an honor to raise awareness for K9s For Warriors again this season," said Hill. "Through Global Industrial's Partnerships With Purpose program, we have the opportunity to bring attention to a worthy cause that is making a change in the lives of those who have served our country. K9s For Warriors is saving over 150 lives a year, not only with veterans but also with canines. Even if one veteran learns about this program and can be saved, it means more than anything else that we can do on the track. We are going to give it our all to take the Global Industrial Chevrolet to Victory Lane on Memorial Day weekend."
On Saturday, May 24, leadership, veteran and canine members of the K9s For Warriors team, and current servicemembers will join Global Industrial and RCR for a VIP experience at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The green flag will wave for Hill and the No. 21 Global Industrial Chevrolet at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 24 at 4 p.m. ET. Watch live television coverage on The CW and listen to flag-to-flag coverage on the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
