Two military families who needed new wheels now have them, thanks to Chevrolet and the automaker's relationship with Major League Baseball and the All-Star Game. In honor of its 19-year history collaborating with the MLB and the All-Star Game, at this year's game, Chevrolet donated two all-new 2024 Trax crossovers to two military charities: Operation Homefront and the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). The charities then chose a recipient.
Operation Homefront recommended Army Veteran Abreante Jones, who is a single mother to her 8-year-old son, as its recipient. Jones served seven years in the military before being honorably discharged to pursue her education and is now a paralegal. Chevrolet says she lost her vehicle due to engine failure and no longer has a reliable form of transportation. The 2024 Trax RS will now allow Jones to get to her career and to her son’s activities with ease.
TAPS selected Amanda Tinsley, the surviving spouse of Sgt. Tyler Tinsley, as its recipient. Tinsley is currently raising her 8-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter. The family had recently faced issues with their current vehicle, which prevented them from attending important activities.
“The Jones and Tinsley families exemplify the service and sacrifice of the military community,” said Steve Majoros, chief marketing officer, Chevrolet. “Chevrolet is honored to provide them with an all-new 2024 Trax and remains committed to recognizing the bravery and dedication of those who have served and their families.”
The all-new 2024 Chevrolet Trax is on sale now and available in five trims, all starting under $25,000.
