Area business are teaming up to help veterans in need.
Nearly a dozen businesses across the Mon Valley are participating in a winner-take-all fundraiser to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
Tawnya Coddington, of Willowbrook Car Wash & Detailing in Rostraver Township, said the businesses want to help veterans have the quality of life they deserve.
“We just want to do something for our soldiers,” Coddington said. “It’s a cause near and dear to my heart.”
Her late father, Schuyler Coddington Jr., dropped out of high school and went into the Vietnam War.
Her nephew, Brian Gregg, 25, is enlisted in the Army and will soon be stationed at Fort Lewis in the state of Washington.
“When my father passed away last year, we got very little help from the VA,” she said. “Another of my nephew’s friends recently got discharged and he has no health benefits. That’s ridiculous.”
