GM Customer Care & Aftersales, GMC and GMC dealers are hosting the 6th Annual Honoring Our Heroes Gala to help raise funds to build custom-designed, mortgage-free Smart Homes that meet the needs of our nation’s most catastrophically injured service members through the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Benefits from the gala also will be used to help The Fallen and Wounded Soldier’s Fund of Michigan, an all-volunteer group of private citizens that provide essential financial assistance to Michigan’s wounded Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
To support the event, there is a silent auction that, for the first time, is open to all GM dealers (U.S.). Bids can be placed on a simple online fundraising site for all auction items. (Fig. 1)
