The West Virginia Automobile and Truck Dealers Association (WVATDA) has designated their prestigious Ambassador gift to be given to the Harrison County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program on behalf of the association’s past chairman, Harry Green III. Every three years a gift is presented to an organization selected by the WVATDA ambassador. This year’s ambassador, Harry (Hal) Green III chose the CASA program for the gift due to their work in assisting disadvantaged children. “We are proud to give back to our community, especially to an organization that represents hope and care for children. I can’t think of any cause that is more worthwhile.” Green stated.
CASA recruits, screens and provides trained volunteers to provide quality advocacy for abused and neglected children in the Harrison County court system with the goal of timely placement in safe permanent homes. A check for $2000 was presented by Hal Green to key CASA officials at Harry Green Chevrolet Nissan in Clarksburg on Thursday, January 19. Present for the organization were Darrell Moorhead out-going Board President, Tom Bailey in-coming Board President and Cheri Kenney, Director of the Harrison County CASA.
The West Virginia Automobile and Truck Association operates in concert with the national NADA and its charitable foundation to benefit the communities served by its member dealerships. Mr. Green was Chairman of the WVATDA from 2009 through 2011. Harry Green Chevrolet Nissan was founded by Hal’s father, Harry Green in 1959. It is currently one of the largest dealerships for new and used vehicles in West Virginia.
