Larry H. Miller Dealerships: Larry H. Miller Dealershipsโ seventh annual โ10 Days of Givingโ campaign is donating $35,000 to six Tucson-area nonprofits. The campaign distributes donations through Larry H. Miller Charities grant program to nonprofits that focus on serving women and children, with an emphasis on health and education. This yearโs beneficiaries are:
- $10,000 donation to Habitat for Humanity of Tucson to help fund the organizationโs Women Build program, which challenges and empowers women from all walks of life to help build affordable homes alongside hardworking Tucson families.
- $5,000 donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Arizona to help fund the organizationโs Big-Little mentoring program, which pairs stable adult role models with children and youth who are most in need.
- $5,000 donation to Banner University Medical Center Diamond Childrenโs Hospital for the hospitalโs Beads of Courage program, which allows children to visually translate their treatment experience through different colored beads.
