Local car dealers to host 'Barbecue for the Troops' July 14

New-car dealers in the Chicago area are on a summertime mission to raise awareness and funds for local troops and their families.

For the sixth consecutive year, the Chicago Automobile Trade Association and its dealer members are partnering with the USO of Illinois to host "Barbecue for the Troops" community fundraising events on Saturday, July 14.

Over the past five years, CATA dealers have rallied their communities to help raise $560,000 to support USO of Illinois programs and services.

Every dollar you raise will help your local USO provide services and support for the troops and their families.

Already, more than 70 dealerships representing more than 35 communities across the Chicago area will fire up the grill, offer services, such as car washes, and collect donations to support the USO of Illinois.

One hundred percent of the proceeds raised will support troops deployed and at home; military families; wounded, ill and injured troops as well as families of the fallen. To learn more, visit usoofillinois.org/bbq-for-the-troops/.
