Honda of Staten Island Partners with Tunnel to Towers Foundation

Honda of Staten Island is excited to announce its new partnership with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a collaboration aimed at supporting America's heroes. This initiative involves donating a percentage of every vehicle sold to assist first responders, veterans, and their families. With new ownership taking the helm, the dealership is not just focusing on sales but is committed to building a community based on trust, respect, and service.

A New Mission for a New Era

The collaboration with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is significant, as it marks a turning point for the dealership. General Manager Steven Risso explained, "Tunnel to Towers embodies our values of service, sacrifice, and putting others before ourselves." He emphasized that when customers buy a car from Honda of Staten Island, they are also contributing to building mortgage-free homes for the families of fallen first responders and severely injured veterans. This initiative is about creating a sense of belonging, making customers part of something larger than themselves.

Frank Siller, CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, echoed Risso's sentiments, stating that the partnership demonstrates the power of local businesses to impact the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for the country. The funds raised through this collaboration aim to support the mission of providing mortgage-free homes to families affected by the sacrifices of their loved ones who served.
