#EnlistMe Donations Collected For Disabled Veteran Smart Houses

Banks Chevrolet on Manchester Street is hoping to raise $50,000 for the effort and will match donations made to support the cause.

Banks Chevrolet has set a goal to raise $50,000 to support the Building for America’s Bravest program. They have committed to a 100% match for any donations made to support this cause.

Building for America’s Bravest is a program that builds smart houses for severely disabled veterans. GMC announced a partnership with the Building for America’s Bravest program and launched a national campaign called #EnlistMe to fundraise for this cause. Banks Chevrolet has invested in the campaign as a dealership and has committed to a 100% match of funds raised in addition to what GMC contributes.

Through this vital program, funds are raised to build custom-designed, specially adapted “smart homes” for our nation’s most catastrophically injured military service members. Energy efficient, automated, and easily accessible, these innovative homes use “adaptive technology” to help these courageous men and women live better, more independent lives.
