ECA Hits the Greens to Keep Veterans Healthy
May 21, 2015
Equipment Corporation of America (ECA), a leading distributor of foundation construction equipment, sponsored and participated in the Bucks County Veterans Golf Outing in Telford, PA on May 18, 2015 to help fund free transportation for veterans to VA Medical Centers in Philadelphia and Coatesville, PA.
This unique service has transported 13,000 veterans and traveled 350,000 miles since being started by the County of Bucks 12 years ago at no cost to the taxpayers. This annual Golf outing fully subsidizes the cost of the bus and per diem expenses for two bus drivers, and the Coatesville Veterans Affairs Medical Center funds fuel, maintenance, repairs, and insurance.
“Many of our aging and disabled veterans have no means of transportation to attend to their health,” said Executive Vice President Ben Dutton. “ECA is proud to give back to those that have sacrificed so much for our country.”
