Volvo Rents Supports Our Troops With Folds of Honor

Sept. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Volvo Rents is proud to annouce its partnership with the American Builders Contractors, Inc of Oklahoma (ABC) in support of Folds of Honor and their important mission. The Folds of Honor Foundation provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our nation.

The organization is headquartered in the Tulsa , OK area, but their reach has spread from coast-to-coast in conjunction with The PGA of America, the United States Golf Association and Patriot Golf Day during the Labor Weekend.

The Folds of Honor Foundation was founded in 2007 by Major Dan Rooney, an F-16 pilot, golf course owner, PGA Professional and USGA member. A Major in the Air National Guard and a decorated military aviator, Rooney has served three combat tours in Iraq .

Volvo Rents’ Color for a Cause began about a year ago when Paul Bullock, a Volvo Rents store owner, decided to paint a piece of equipment in honor of our troops.  The idea took hold and many other store owners have been following suit. To date, Volvo Rents has approximately 32 colorful machines in the field – painted to the corresponding color of the cause it is supporting.

The causes being funded by a percentage of the rental revenue include breast cancer research, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, the Jimmy Fund for cancer in children, hunger, the Special Olympics, March of Dimes, autism and heart research.

A percentage of all Volvo Rents rental proceeds for the Red, White, and Blue Color For A Cause machines will be donated to Folds of Honor Foundation.
