For the second time, Toyota has partnered with wheelchair-accessible van company Vantage Mobility International (VMI) to offer disabled veterans the chance to win a new Toyota Sienna with VMI’s Access 360 In-floor Ramp Conversion system.
The Operation Independence Star Spangled Salute contest is part of VMI’s initiative to give disabled veterans greater mobility and quality of life. The contest is open to any disabled veteran in the United States and Puerto Rico, and can be entered by filling out a simple online form. Veterans have the chance to enter until November 9, 2014, and the randomly-drawn winner will be announced later that week, on Veteran’s Day 2014.
Last year, Toyota delivered a brand-new Sienna to Cpl. Charlie Harvey (pictured here), a retired U.S. Army veteran who served in 1969 during the Vietnam War.
“The Sienna with VMI’s ramp has changed Charlie’s life in so many ways we didn’t think were possible,” said his wife, Linda Harvey. “We can go everywhere together again, like the mall, grocery store and out to eat for dinner.”
Another facet of the Operation Independence program is to educate disabled veterans about Federal Vehicle Grants, which are available to help make owning a mobility-enhanced vehicle possible. Veterans can visit www.vans4vets.com to learn more about their options.
