Proceeds from each name submitted will be used directly to help veterans across the country live full, productive lives after injury.

“Our PVA members (including myself), many of whom have served beyond September 11, would not be where we are today without our loved ones and caregivers who supported us on our best and worst days,” said newly elected PVA National President and Veteran of the US Marine Corps, Charles Brown. “We appreciate CarShop, Team Penske, Austin Cindric and our longstanding relationship with the Penske Automotive Group, as this collaboration is just another great way Penske supports PVA members. “

“The debut of the CarShop colors on the # 22 Ford Mustang this season has been a thrill,” said Tracy Cassady, Executive Vice President of Marketing for the Penske Automotive Group. “This September we look forward to putting our long-term partner PVA in the spotlight. We hope that this unique sponsorship will inspire others to learn more about PVA’s mission – to serve those who have served us – and to think about adding to their lives. “- rotating work for veterans with spinal cord injuries.”

PVA was designed in January 1946after a group of paralyzed WWII veterans returned to a country that was not ready for them. Unable to live in their homes or access transportation, they banded together and formed the organization to improve accessibility for themselves, fight for the benefits they deserved, and find a cure for paralysis. Since then, PVA has grown in size and influence over the years, and continues to strive to create a world where paralyzed veterans can live, work, and travel with the same freedom, independence, and dignity as any American.

“After the July 4th holiday weekend, I can’t think of a better time to announce this partnership between CarShop and PVA as we aim to raise funds for our disabled veterans,” said Cindric. “I am honored to be part of a program that will raise awareness of the needy that has served our nation. I’m excited to see all of the fan names racing with me at Richmond Raceway on September 11th. With already three victories in the CarShop livery this year, I hope that we can get PVA and CarShop back on the winning track. “
