Since May is National Military Appreciation Month, Sullivan Tire has teamed up with the Sudbury Military Support Network (SMSN) for the second year in a row to raise money and awareness for the local organization. SMSN is a community based, volunteer driven organization dedicated to supporting, honoring and recognizing all past and present Sudbury Massachusetts residents who have served in the military as well as their strong families.

For every tire sold at Sullivan Tire’s Sudbury location, from April 30 through May 12, Sullivan Tire will donate $5 to the local SMSN. Additionally, on May 12 there will be an in-store event to celebrate the fundraiser. This event will include free refreshments such as coffee, bagels and calzones from Sudbury Coffee Works, games for kids, prizes, and giveaways. Some of the prizes and giveaways include Sullivan Tire gift cards, Sullivan Tire coupons, movie passes, “Misty the Dog” stuff animals, frisbees, and an “enter to win” raffle for Red Sox tickets. The event will go from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 475 Boston Post Road.

“We are excited to partner with the Sudbury Military Support Network for the second year in a row,” said Paul Sullivan, vice president of marketing for Sullivan Tire & Auto Service. “Nothing pleases us more than to give back to the community through an organization that helps such a great cause, our local veterans and their families.”

“The SMSN is so pleased to again to team up with our friends at Sullivan Tire. They have stepped forward in a big way to support our local service members and their families,” said Patty Houpt, founder of SMSN. “The Sullivan Tire sponsorship allows us to use our funds to recognize, support and appreciate our service members throughout the year. We can't thank them enough for their enthusiastic endorsement of our efforts.”
