We get a lot of letters from the military. We send them what we can:
magazines, t-shirts, the odd piece of gear that we can scrounge up. But we
wish it could be more. Yesterday, Pioneer Electronics awarded $10,000 to one
of its dealers, Drive-In Autosound, to give to a charity of their choice:
in this case military families. Drive-In Autosound, based in Colorado, won the $10,000 based on its level of
community service. Ed Sachs, president of Pioneer's Mobile Business Group,
says: "Drive-In Autosound has supported our troops in a number of ways, including accommodation rates and financing for the local military community, co-hosting football parties with radio station Kilo 94.3 FM at the community event center on Fort Carson military base and active participation in the Military Connection, which welcomes soldiers home from deployment."
The shop will donate the money to the Fort Carson Officer's Spouses Club
Santa's Workshop. A mouthful of an acronym, the FCOSC gives gifts to
military children who might not be able to celebrate the holidays otherwise.
Kudos to Pioneer and Drive-In Autosound!
