A new partnership has been formed between Kia Motors America (KMA) and the non-profit organization, Hire Heroes USA. Through this new partnership, KMA has made an initial donation of $25,000, and they have made Hire Heroes USA the official charity partner of the of the 2016 LPGA Kia Classic. As such, the organization will receive a portion of the proceeds collected through ticket sales.

Hire Heroes USA is an organization that is dedicated to helping retired military veterans find a way to use the skills they learned in the military to forge a successful career as they transition back into civilian life. The organization includes teams of Veteran Transition Specialists that are spread out in seven different areas across the U.S. Most of these specialists are military veterans and have been through this process themselves. The organization provided one-on-one support through internet or telephone coaching to help make the transition easier and inspire success.

“Kia is grateful to the brave men and women who have served our country, and we are proud to partner with Hire Heroes USA in an effort to empower military veterans and their families,” said Tim Chaney, vice president, marketing communications KMA. “Naming Hire Heroes USA the official charity partner of the 2016 LPGA Kia Classic will help raise awareness for the important career services they provide to veterans and their spouses, and we hope through this partnership to count some of those heroes as part of the Kia team in the near future.”
