Royal Truck & Equipment announced today it will be supporting veterans through donations to the Helmets to Hardhats program as part of its 2020 Trucks for a Cause program.
President Rob Roy says, “As the father of an active-duty Navy Lieutenant and a Marine Infantry Sergeant, I’m proud to support a program that stands behind our military service members. We also have several veterans working here and that’s something that we can be equally as proud of as a company.”
Roy says the company will be donating a portion of the proceeds from every truck sold between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2020, to the nonprofit with a goal of raising $50,000 by the end of the year.
The Helmets to Hardhats program, which dates back to 2003, was established to help military service members transition back into civilian life by connecting them with training and careers in the construction industry. Since 2007, the organization has helped nearly 33,000 military veterans into quality careers in the building and construction trades.
“It was an easy decision for us,” says Roy. “Whatever we can do to help our veterans, we’re going to do it.”
Through the sponsorship, Royal aims to not only have a positive financial impact on the charity but also help raise awareness. Royal will be sharing their progress throughout the year on their website. CLICK HERE for updates or to learn more about Royal’s Trucks for a Cause program.
