First partnership initiative with Georgia Veterans Service Foundation will provide 50 eligible veterans with new Kumho tires to support safe transportation

Building on its recently announced partnership with the Georgia Veterans Service Foundation (GVSF), Kumho Tire U.S.A. has launched the Georgia Veterans Tire Assistance Program. Through the program, Kumho Tire will provide 50 eligible veterans across Georgia experiencing financial hardship with certificates redeemable for a full set of four replacement tires, representing 200 tires valued at more than $50,000.

Reliable transportation is essential for many veterans to access employment, healthcare appointments and everyday necessities. By removing the cost of replacement tires, the program will help veterans stay safely and confidently on the road.

“When we announced our partnership with the Georgia Veterans Service Foundation, our goal was to identify meaningful ways to support Georgia’s veterans and their families,” said Edmund Cho, CEO for Kumho Tire U.S.A. “The Georgia Veterans Tire Assistance Program puts that commitment into action by helping veterans maintain reliable transportation for work, appointments, family commitments and everyday needs.”

“The Georgia Veterans Service Foundation is grateful to Kumho Tire for this generous donation to help Georgia veterans continue traveling safely and stay connected to their communities,” said Joe Higgins, Board Chair, Georgia Veterans Service Foundation. “These tire certificates will provide meaningful assistance to veterans by improving mobility, safety and access to essential resources.”
