For the ninth straight year, the CATA is partnering with the USO of Illinois on the USO BBQ for the Troops initiative, set for next month on Saturday, Sept. 18. Dealers are encouraged to join the effort by hosting a USO BBQ for the Troops fundraiser at their stores. 

The CATA will provide participating dealers with promotional signage and an electronic toolkit including web and social media graphics to help promote their events. Dealers also will be included in a marketwide advertising, public relations and social media campaign to promote their fundraisers and drive people to their stores. 

To sign up, email jmorand@drivechicago.com or jobrill@drivechicago.com. Questions? Call the CATA at (630) 495-2282.
