Ram Nation aids flood-stricken central Texas
Tuesday, June 2 in Texas, members of Ram Nation - a national group of volunteer Dodge Ram Truck owners - converged on storm-damaged areas in Wimberley and San Marcos to deliver supplies and help area residents recover from the devastating flooding.
Tad Agoglia, founder of First Response Team of America, directed the effort and led the caravan of Ram trucks into areas where they distributed supplies. The First Response Team of America utilizes a fleet of Ram vehicles and community restoration equipment to assist residents.
The day began at San Marcos Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, where Ram truck owners loaded needed supplies into their pickup beds. They then proceeded to flood-stricken areas and helped with home site recovery as well as delivering food, water and cleaning materials.
Ram Nation is a grassroots organization of like-minded people willing and ready to help people in need, such as those in flood-damaged Texas. Ram Nation volunteers haul supplies, deliver equipment, clear debris, distribute food and water, and even make donations that help people in their communities and around the world. New members can join Ram Nation at: www.ramtrucks.com/ramnation.
In the week prior to the efforts in Texas, Ram Truck and the FCA Foundation announced the donation of $100,000 to the First Response Team of America.
The Ram brand established a partnership with the First Response Team of America in 2012 to help communities across America respond to natural disasters. Since then, Ram - through the FCA Foundation - has donated more than $300,000 to First Response. As a result, Ram and the First Response Team of America have led similar collaborative operations in Tupelo, Miss., and Moore, Okla.
About Ram Truck Brand
Currently the No. 3 best-selling vehicle in the U.S., Ram Trucks have, since launched as a stand-alone division in 2009, steadily emerged as an industry leader based on one goal: Build the best pickup trucks and commercial vehicles in the industry.
Creating a distinct identity for Ram Trucks has allowed the brand to concentrate on core customers and features they find valuable. Whether focusing on a family that uses a Ram 1500 day in and day out, a hard-working Ram 3500 Heavy Duty owner or a business that depends on its Ram ProMaster commercial van every day for deliveries, Ram has the truck market covered.
In order to be the best, it takes a commitment to innovation, capability, efficiency and durability. Ram Truck invests substantially in its products, infusing them with great looks, refined interiors, durable engines and exclusive features that further enhance their capabilities.
Moving into the 2015 model year, Ram continues to beat the competition in the two most sought-after titles, fuel economy and towing capacity:
