The Heart of Austin: Supporting Our Everyday Heroes
Austin’s EMS, firefighters, and police officers don’t just put their lives on the line; they are the unsung heroes responding to thousands of calls each year. With a staggering number of over 3,000 responses where ballistic protection could have been warranted in the past two years, the issue of inadequate safety for our public safety personnel has never been more urgent. Enter the grassroots initiative, Back The Brave, a campaign designed specifically to provide vital funds for life-saving, bullet-resistant vests to those who serve at the forefront of emergencies.
Community Commitment: Covert Cadillac Buick GMC Takes Action
Supporting this noble cause is Covert Cadillac Buick GMC, intricately involved through their charitable program, #CovertCommitment. “At Covert Auto Group, serving our community isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are,” says Mario Juarez, General Manager. By allocating a portion of their monthly revenues to this initiative, they are making a significant impact on the safety of first responders, ensuring they have the necessary equipment to face life-threatening situations safely. Rich Andrade, a Clinical Specialist, shares how the armor funded by the campaign empowers him and his fellow responders, enabling them to focus on their critical work without fear.
Beyond Protection: A Legacy of Philanthropy
The dedication of Covert Cadillac Buick GMC doesn't stop with Back The Brave. Recently, they stepped up once again during natural disasters affecting Central Texas. Supporting the Central Texas Flood Relief Initiative, Covert matched individual contributions to organizations like the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, enhancing the overall impact of local donations. A commitment to community relief efforts illustrates how philanthropy can both inspire action and foster resilience.
