November 8th
MAYFIELD
VILLAGE, Ohio, Nov. 1, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Progressive
Insurance® announced today its 11th
annual Keys to Progress® vehicle giveaway will take place on
November 8, 2023. Ahead of Veterans
Day, 82 veterans, military-related organizations, and veteran-owned
small business owners across the country will receive the keys to
vehicles that will provide reliable transportation, helping them
get back on the road and move forward in life.
Progressive worked with Enterprise Rent-A-Car to locate
certified vehicles from Enterprise's U.S. fleet of high-quality,
used cars, vans and SUVs that could be purchased and given away
with funds provided by Progressive. The vehicles, with six months
insurance paid for by Enterprise, will be delivered to veterans,
bringing the total number of donated vehicles through the Keys to
Progress program to more than 1,000 since 2013.
"As we enter our 11th year of the Keys to Progress
program, it is exciting to celebrate another significant milestone,
having now provided over 1,000 vehicles and impacting the lives of
so many veterans and their families," said Tricia Griffith, CEO at Progressive. "At
its core, the Keys to Progress vehicle giveaway program is just one
way we celebrate our nation's veterans, and these events are a
strong source of pride for everyone who works at Progressive."

Progressive's Keys to Progress giveaway program is a reality
thanks to the assistance of the following organizations:
- Enterprise Rent-A-Car locates certified vehicles from their
U.S. fleet of high-quality, used cars, vans, and SUVs for purchase
to be given away with funds from Progressive. Enterprise also funds
the first six months of insurance for the vehicles. Policies are
written by Progressive.
- Veracity Research Co. Investigations, a veteran-owned and
operated organization, helps support the recipient selection
process each year.
- Insurance Auto Auctions Inc. provides a 12-month powertrain
protection plan for the vehicles.
- The Original 1-800-Charity Cars, provides resources to
facilitate the vehicle donations, as well as titling and
registration of some vehicles for recipients.
- Local charities, which help to identify veteran recipients in
each region.
"Throughout the years, the Keys to Progress program has provided
reliable transportation to veterans and veteran organizations. Our
hope is to offer a little relief and improve the lives of military
men and women facing tough personal circumstances," said
John Murphy, Progressive Claims
President. "We're grateful to be able to help those who have given
so much for our country and look forward to continuing the program
for years to come."
Interested in applying to be a future recipient? Veterans need
to be sponsored by a veteran-friendly, non-profit organization to
submit their request. Applications are reviewed starting in May of
each program year. For more information on the Keys to Progress
