The organizations receiving funding include St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Wounded Warrior Project, The War Amps in Canada, and the Salvation Army. According to the company, these groups align with TruckPro’s ongoing mission to support causes that help children, veterans, and communities throughout North America.

“We are proud of our TruckPro Gives Back program and our ongoing partnerships with the worthy organizations we support and the important work they do,” said Chuck Broadus, chief executive officer of TruckPro. “Through this program, we are able to support efforts that make a difference, and we appreciate the continued support and donations from our team at TruckPro.”

The announcement was made internally during the company’s National Sales Summit and Supplier Tradeshow, which took place earlier this year at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. More than 230 regional and store managers from across the United States and Canada attended the gathering to connect and review the company’s primary goals and initiatives.

The event also included a tradeshow where over 75 suppliers presented their products and offered training sessions, demonstrations, and valuable insights to attendees.

TruckPro noted that its commitment to charitable work remains central to its company culture. This dedication encourages employees and supplier partners to participate in efforts that create lasting change for people in need.

The company currently operates more than 150 stores and advanced service shops throughout its distribution network.

Gary Sasser, Averitt’s chairman and CEO, expressed his admiration for the team, stating, “The generosity and commitment of our associates continue to inspire me. Their dedication to supporting St. Jude helps make a real difference in the lives of children and families facing difficult challenges. We’re especially proud of the one dollar in that donation, which represents ‘The Power of One Dollar a Week’ and how we can all make a positive impact.”

Donations on the Rise

This latest contribution marks the fifth consecutive year that Averitt has surpassed its previous donations, consistently demonstrating its commitment to St. Jude’s mission of discovering treatments and cures for life-threatening pediatric diseases.

How the Averitt Cares for Kids Program Works

Averitt Charities is powered by voluntary $1 weekly payroll contributions through the company’s Averitt Cares for Kids program. To amplify the effort, Averitt also provides matching donations to recognize community service, achievements, and milestones by its associates. Impressively, 100% of the funds collected are dedicated to charitable causes, underscoring the organization’s commitment to giving back.

Since becoming St. Jude’s first corporate partner in 1990, the Averitt Cares for Kids program has donated over $14 million to the hospital. These contributions ensure critical support for St. Jude’s commitment to never charging families for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Their efforts help families focus entirely on their children’s recovery.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® in Memphis, Tennessee, remains at the forefront of research, treatment, and cures for catastrophic childhood illnesses. Averitt’s longstanding partnership supports this mission, positively impacting countless children and their families worldwide.

“Our partnership with this program is both an honor and a privilege,” said Larry Vannatta, Averitt’s regional vice president of sales for Texas. “Seeing the impact of our efforts is truly rewarding.”

A Team Effort to Uplift Morale

According to an Averitt press release, their associates rallied together across 17 facilities—primarily in Texas—and their corporate office to collect and prepare the holiday cards. The corporate office alone contributed more than 4,000 cards to the initiative. Ensuring no detail was missed, the cards were carefully organized, counted, and prepared to make certain they reached service members in time for the holidays.

This marks another chapter in Averitt’s long-standing collaboration with New Country 96.3 KSCS, a program designed to show appreciation and boost morale for service members during the festive season.

Driven by Purpose Beyond Cards

Averitt further demonstrated its commitment to giving back by pairing this initiative with a financial contribution to Averitt Cares for Kids, the company’s philanthropic organization. Averitt matched the time given by employees to the card program with a donation to the charity, which primarily supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Through initiatives like these, Averitt continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of military personnel and local communities alike, ensuring their holiday season is brighter and filled with appreciation.
