$50,000 Raised For CCI’s Wounded Veterans Initiative

$50,000 — Another great auction at the ADESA booth during the NADA Show where $50,000 was raised to benefit Canine Companions For Independence on behalf of the NADA Charitable Foundation.

Joe Verde, a longtime supporter of CCI’s Wounded Veterans Initiative, placed the first winning bid of $25,000, and then donated the motorcycle back to ADESA to be re-auctioned.

Dealer Tony Bacily, of STG Auto Group, placed the final winning bid of $25,000 – bringing the total amount raised to $50,000 – and he took home the 2017 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 1200CX.

Jay Huston, 20-year Army veteran, and his CCI dog, Hurley, attended and said, “I do not know how I would do many things without him.” Hurley is trained to open doors, turn on/off lights, pick up dropped items — all things that are now a challenge for Jay after his spinal injury.
