BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Four vehicles are being given away in this year’s “Vehicles For Vets and First Responders” event.
For the eighth year, Basil is teaming up with the Veterans One-Stop Center of Western New York. Together, they’re giving two vehicles to two first responders, and another two to a pair of military veterans.
Starting on Memorial Day and lasting through Sept. 6, veterans, active service members and first responders can be nominated to win a brand-new vehicle. Twenty random finalists will be invited to Buffalo Riverworks on Sept. 20, with a random selection of the four winners taking place there.
While “Vehicles For Vets and First Responders” is taking place, Basil will make a donation to the Veterans One-Stop Center for every vehicle sold. Over the promotion’s history, more than $250,000 has been raised for the center.
After the promotion begins, you can nominate someone here. Donations to the Veterans One-Stop Center are accepted here.
