 Well good morning everybody. I'm glad to see that we have a big crowd here. This is a great day for us. This always kicks off the holiday season at Oxmore Auto Group and my name is Del Farmer and I'm the CEO of Oxmore. We look forward to this every year. Keys to Progress is an event that takes a great deal of preparation and coordination from various groups. I'd like to recognize them today. Progressive insurance, the National Auto Body Council, YMCA of Greater Louisville and then our collision staff. I know they put a lot of man-hours into this and they volunteered a lot of their time so please give them a round of applause. At Oxmore Auto Group cars are our business but this community is our family. We have a responsibility to assist those in need and I'm proud to say that we're doing just that in cooperation with others in this room today. In fact the program that helped inspire us to create hope and motion at all the Oxmore locations where we will be feeding a family for every vehicle sold through November 30th. Again thank you for everyone here today. Thank you for joining us and a special congratulations to the Huff family. Now I'd like to introduce Bill Carlisle from Progressive up to the podium to give your remarks. Thank you. Thank you, Bill. Today at Progressive on this day actually about right now, well it started this morning. This morning on the Today Show on NBC they actually gave a recycled vehicle two keys to progress live. I didn't get to see it but I bet it was pretty cool. But today we're going to honor veterans like Jared over a hundred of them with a with a new vehicle. The countrywide event we call is called Keys to Progress. It's going to be hosted in over 60 major markets just like the event we're hosting here today. We've come together with a lot of great partners to make this whole day a big reality and I got to thank a few of them because without them this this doesn't happen. The NACB for their role and support to the recycled rights program. Oxmore Collision Center. These guys in the back wearing green shirts with the say Army strong in the back. They're the reason we're here today and they've been a great partner. This is our sixth year with Oxmore Collision Center doing this and I remember six years ago I couldn't pick a better better partner to do this with. Enterprise their generosity the partnership every year they're here they come in numbers they help support the family they help support the program and I appreciate you guys very much for that. IAA through a parent company that they have insurance auto auctions they donate a one year warranty on the vehicle that will cover from bumper to bumper. Pep boys who's actually here in the audience today they're brand new to a partnership couldn't be happier about that they give a gift card and it's going to cover the maintenance for this vehicle for the first year of it. 1,800 charity cars for their role in the titling getting the paperwork together so that I can hand it off to Oxmore and they take care of getting this vehicle registered and a license plate put on it. Veracity Research Company for their help in the background of the research we need to do in order to pick the right recipients. The Progressive Staff here in Kentucky huge I'd be wrong not to say thank you to Amy Morris, Lindsay O'Donnell and Marty Brinzel for their support this year and helping get this get in this event to happen and then another new partner for us this year the Greater Louisville YMCA Group for walking them us in the door and helping us find a veteran family and couldn't couldn't be happier with with the partnership we've established with the YMCA. Jared thank you for your service honored that you're here today and congratulations and with that I'd like to welcome Steve Tarver president of the Greater Louisville YMCA. I'd say we're in a time where we need some good news what do you think so that's why I'm so happy to be here I will give you one choice to start off with I'm from the YMCA and it's so we have our summer camps and our after-school programs so forth so I'm gonna say good morning and you have two choices you can either give me a robust good morning back in return or we'll sing one verse of John Jacob Jingle Hymer Smith. So good morning. I'm glad you didn't make me try to sing but I'm delighted on a good news day on a time where we need some good news and and particularly I'm a huge fan of military so to the Huff family we're grateful for your service as well and it gives me a chance to recognize too that YMCA has been in the United States 167 years and going back to the Civil War why is when YMCA's first started serving the military and fast forward that through all of the conflicts but up until Camp Zachary Taylor in Louisville Kentucky used to that used to be out as I understand it in the vicinity of the airport the YMCA served 10,000 soldiers a day on that installation and in fact the YMCA placed a an African-American teacher out there in fact his name was James Bond I'm assuming he's the original 007 but and he was placed there by the YMCA to teach the African-American soldiers how to read and write stay in touch with their families and so forth and so so with that that also leads us to the current level of the the national organization of the YMCA has an arm called the armed services YMCA Jared I don't know if you've ever run across any of that but there are YMCA is located in on the on the grounds of 55 military installations across the country even today so cheer just like he just gave us so so anyway so that that brings it full circle for me personally as well as for our local YMCA here in Greater Louisville so with that it I feel like it brings us right back to our roots and the special celebration and appreciation event for our military in general and for the health family in particular is a great honor for me and I'm grateful to be alongside of these partners as well we've got a number of staff here but I should Mike Braemer who's at Norton Commons has been our liaison to this program and then Tom Wharton and Jordan Gagler here from the Southeast YMCA the CEP directors here where they where the children attend after school and we're just grateful that you all are also part of the YMCA family I just had a question for the boys is the water warm enough when you go swimming at the Southeast why is it warm okay I'm getting a yes on that so Tom you're off the hook right now for that but it's a privilege to be here and thank Jared Huff and his wife Sarah and their sons Owen and Ollie for their service you know Jared served in the Army from 2008 to 2012 and during that time he completed two combat tours one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan a great deal of appreciation is owed to you Jared and to your family for that service so he and his wife Sarah along with Owen and Ollie are members of the Southeast YMCA they participate in our after-school program at Audubon Elementary our the summer camp the youth sports and swim lessons at the Y and that's why we need to keep the warm the war warm enough for them to be able to do that so Jared continues to serve in the Kentucky National Guard it's I guess it's the gift of his family that just keeps on giving to us every day so we'd like to add to the big prize we'd like to add a little bit and maybe Jared maybe if you could come up and and Jordan your friend Jordan is here with us so anyway we'd like to add a one-year community-wide family membership to the package we'd like to add a couple of the youth programs in which they're already very active and some other gift items including my favorite which are these little flashlights that I give to people that help brighten up our world and if anybody deserves that it's the Huff family so so Jared Sarah Owen Ollie we're grateful for your participation your your service and your sacrifice that we allows us to stand here today in a free country so we hope that you enjoy all the gifts including staying close to the YMCA and we wish you Godspeed and all that you do so thank you for your service thank you for all the partners and thank you for being here with us today God bless you so I get the pleasure of introducing Mark Mark Christiansen I just met him today and I he was telling me all the things that enterprises contributing to this program so I would ask that all of us welcome Mark Christiansen from Enterprise Renacore thanks Steve great job I'm glad we did not have to sing though so that's a good thing for sure on behalf of Enterprise Renacore I'm so excited that we're here today and this is our six year in a row that we've been part of this and just an awesome day awesome initiative and I definitely want to thank you know progressive and ox more in the YMCA for the great partnership and allowing us to to be part of this it's just a terrific event so you know keys to progress really represents two fundamental core values that are super important to our company and the first being giving back to the communities where we work and live and the second being just in any way possible anything we can do to support the the military and the veterans and I think some of you know that our companies pretty deep rooted in the military tradition and heritage our founder Jack Taylor served as a World War II fighter pilot on the USS Enterprise and so 65 years ago or so when he founded the company that's where the name derived from so very proud of that that heritage and that history there today we continue to honor our men and women that serve or have served and we look for any opportunity we can to provide opportunities for them very pleased to announce that 10% of our U.S. workforce is comprised of either active military and military veterans we have added 30,000 plus to our workforce I'm sorry 10,000 plus to our workforce over the last six years and really a cool stat that just came across my desk recently we have 1,300 active military or military spouses right now that are employed with us so obviously very important to us very important to our workforce and just a big part of our overall culture you know I got a chance to meet Jared just quickly you know before we started here but the Huff family what a great family obviously very busy we got some active boys and having a lot of fun I think they're having a good time here and certainly the wave of the flag proudly which is great to see but you know Jared just your commitment your service your sacrifice two tours of duty it's just I can't even imagine so thank you so much for you know you and your family and what you've done for our country we certainly certainly appreciate it you know a small token of our gratitude we'd like to present to you the Huff family a insurance policy obviously written through progressive for the for the next six months to cover this vehicle and then we kind of reached out to our Kentucky employee base and rallied them and kind of explain what how important this initiative was to us and true to form like they always do they really came through and through donations and just an involvement there we'd like to also present you $2,000 worth of gas gift cards to kind of soften the fuel burden that's you know obviously we all face on that so hopefully that will help a little bit but we know how important reliable transportation is and especially a young family and being able to to you know have that aspect is hopefully just an ease in in your daily life on that so thanks again for allowing us to be part of this terrific event thanks again to all the partners up here and thank you to the family for what you guys have done in the sacrifice and overall service I'll now turn it over to us for maximum collision welcome my name is Wes Osborne I'm the general manager here this is my first time being involved in this and I gotta say I'm honored I'm honored to help a military family like the house it's a it's a wonderful thing I wanted to touch a little bit on the process obviously progressive donates the vehicle it's then towed us we disassemble it and assess the damage and then we get a game plan for what we're going to do to the vehicle and repair all the damage dense dings scratches you know collision damage that I had paint department also painted it all over I did an amazing job with that we also replaced the tires and the brakes and gave it a fresh oil change so it's you know safe
