Ram Trucks Donates to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum

Posted on September 8, 2015 by baysideadmin

Ram trucks have always been supporters of the Texas Rangers. They’ve put out models of the 1500 that has honored the Rangers. They plan to continue their support by donating $100,000 to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum.

This donation is happening almost a year since they last partnered with the Texas Rangers and also donated $100,000 to help the legendary law enforcers.

“Texas Rangers epitomize all of the great qualities of the Lone Star State,” said Beck Blanchard, Director of Ram Truck Brand. “Ram has deep ties to Texas. Reinforcing Ram’s commitment to the Texas Ranger Division and the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum is a significant way to be engaged with the people and communities in which we do business.”

The money being donated will go to help make improvements at the museum. A portion of the donation will also goto the Texas Ranger Association Foundation’s scholarship program.

Ram Supports Wounded Warriors and Air Warrior Courage Foundation

Posted on December 11, 2013 by baysideadmin

In preparation for the holiday season, Ram is starting to give back to those who need it most. In participation with the Wounded Warriors group, they delivered a Ram full of toys and supplies for those in need.

The delivery was made to the Warrior and Family Support Center at the San Antonio Military Medical Center. Ram brought in a 2014 Ram Promaster 2500 filled to the brim with toys, diapers, and other needed supplies for the people being treated by the center. In addition to all the goods, Ram also gave a $25,000 grant from the Air Warrior Courage Foundation.

The Foundation is one of the top charities that works with military personal and provides them with the needed financial support for medical and education purposes.

“We, at Ram, consider it an honor and privilege to provide the Promaster van to support service members and their families who have played a vital role in keeping America safe and free,” Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Ram Truck said just before the donation.

Ram Truck & Chrysler Donate to the First Response Team of America to Help With Oklahoma After Tornado

Posted on May 23, 2013 by baysideadmin

The Chrysler Foundation, the charity arm of Chrysler, has donated $100,000 dollars to the First Response Team of America to help with the efforts underway to aid Oklahoma after the destructive Tornado. The First Response Team of America is a nonprofit disaster relief organization that helps local first responders and aids with cleanup efforts.

What the First Response Team of America does is head into an area that’s been struck by a disaster and lends a helping hand. They assist with the rubble, water rescues, clearing roads, and a host of other things to help the nearby communities. In order to do this, they require heavy duty equipment and Chrysler has been a supporter for a while now in that regard. The company has already donated three heavy-duty trucks to the team. Ram trucks are included in the long list of heavy equipment they need to handle the cleanup.

Last year, Ram began a partnership with The Weather Channel Companies and the First Response Team of America. The Weather Channel Companies also started the series “Responding by Storm” which reports on the work of the First Response Team of America.

Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Ram, has this to say, “We know that the road to recovery for residents of Moore and Oklahoma City will be long. The Chrysler Foundation is proud to support First Response Team of America’s efforts to help the people of Oklahoma get back on their feet.”

Chrysler has a history of support for communities dealing with extreme disasters. Just last year, here in New York, Ram donated 20 Ram 1500 Tradesman trucks and $100,000 to the American Red Cross in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims in Oklahoma still dealing with this horrible tradgey. Please visit the First Response Team of America page and lend any support you can for your fellow Americans.
