HIGH POINT, N.C. — Thomas Built Buses and parent company Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) have pledged $100,000 to support Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater High Point as part of the DaimlerCares program.
Through this program, DTNA partners with each of its locations to serve nonprofit organizations in local communities.
“As part of our ongoing support of the High Point community, we are pleased to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater High Point in 2018,” said Caley Edgerly, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. “Together, we will expand the reach and impact of the Boys & Girls Clubs in this community so even more children and teens have a safe and fun place to play, learn, grow, and become their best selves.”
