Kia Announces Partnership With Hire Heroes USA

Mar 21, 2016

The philanthropic efforts of Kia Motors America (KMA) have been expanded even further through a new partnership with Hire Heroes USA. This organization is a non-profit that provides support to military veterans in order to help them transition into civilian life. The organization provides career coaching services in order to help the veterans find a way to use the skills they learned in their military training and find a way to put them to good use in a new career.

Hire Heroes USA consists of teams of Veteran Transition Specialists who are in seven different locations throughout the U.S. and they currently assist in the training of more than 300 military members who are transitioning from active status to civilian life. The majority of the training is accomplished through online and telephone one-on-one coaching with a coach to help them learn the best way to make success out of their military skills.

“Kia is grateful to the brave men and women who have served our country, and we are proud to partner with Hire Heroes USA in an effort to empower military veterans and their families,” said Tim Chaney, vice president, marketing communications KMA. “Naming Hire Heroes USA the official charity partner of the 2016 LPGA Kia Classic will help raise awareness for the important career services they provide to veterans and their spouses, and we hope through this partnership to count some of those heroes as part of the Kia team in the near future.”

As part of this new partnership, KMA has made a $25,000 donation and named Hire Heroes USA the official charity partner of the 2016 LPGA Kia Classic. As a result, a portion of the proceeds from the ticket sales of the event will be donated to the organization.
