• Arby’s: The Vail Arby’s restaurant raised $6,000 to help Empire High School athlete Noah Nieto defeat cancer. The Vail restaurant held a fundraiser on Nov. 2 and donated half of all sales from the day to Noah and his family, as well as collected additional donations from restaurant guests.
  • Geico:

Two Tucson veterans and their families were presented with keys to newly refurbished cars, fully loaded with gifts for their children. The vehicles from Geico were restored by technicians at Tucson-area Caliber Collision Centers who volunteered personal time as part of a national program to repair and donate cars to individuals in need of reliable transportation. Pete Franco, an Iraq War combat veteran was nominated to receive a vehicle by the Veterans Affairs’ HUD/VASH program. Jennifer Cardenas, who served six years in the U.S. Army, was nominated by the nonprofit Women Warriors.
