KENOSHA, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 15, 2009--
Snap-on Incorporated (NYSE:SNA) on Saturday hosted members of the
Wounded Warrior Project during a portion of the Wisconsin and Illinois
Solider Ride. The breakfast, held at the company’s Innovation Works
Center in Kenosha, included Snap-on associates and their families, and
was also attended by City of Kenosha Mayor Keith Bosman.
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), an independent, non-profit
organization established to assist American soldiers wounded in
conflict, worked with organizations in Wisconsin and Illinois to create
a series of bicycle tours that began in Waterloo, Wis., on June 11 and
culminated on Sunday in Chicago.
“The Wounded Warriors program is about Americans taking care of those
who served,” said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on Incorporated chairman and chief
executive officer. “This is a non-profit organization established to aid
our wounded veterans, providing the kind of added-value care and
rehabilitation that will allow these heroes to live complete and
unencumbered lives. Snap-on is honored to play a small part in paying
tribute to the spirit and determination of these wounded warriors.”
The ride began in Waterloo, Wis., on Thursday morning with a launch
ceremony at the Trek Bicycle manufacturing facility. From there the
group of riders bicycled some 40 miles through southern Wisconsin,
making stops in Milwaukee before starting Saturday at Snap-on.
