MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio,
Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- For
the ninth consecutive year, Progressive InsuranceSM will
host its annual Keys to Progress vehicle giveaway on November 9, 2021. Ahead of Veterans Day, 45
veterans in need across the country and their families, along with
five military-related organizations, will receive the keys to
vehicles that will provide reliable transportation, helping them
get back on the road and move forward in life.
Once again, Progressive worked with Enterprise Rent-A-Car
to locate certified vehicles from Enterprise's U.S. fleet of
high-quality, late-model used cars, vans and SUVs that could be
purchased and given away with funds provided by Progressive. The
vehicles, with insurance paid for six months by Enterprise, will be
delivered to veterans, bringing the total number of donated
vehicles through the Keys to Progress program to more than 800
since its inception.
"We're proud to once again honor those who have served our
country and provide relief in the form of reliable transportation
to these deserving veterans and military-related organizations,"
said Mike Sieger, Progressive Claims
President. "We take a great deal of pride in our ability to
continue with this incredible vehicle giveaway program despite the
challenges of COVID-19 in hopes of improving the lives of military
men and women experiencing tough circumstances."

operated organization, helps support the recipient selection
process each year.
