Veteran Carriers, a local trucking company owned by retired U.S. Air Force Tactical Air Control Party’s Cliff White and Rob Cooch raised $113,000, pushing their six year total to $624,000 at their 6th Annual Trucking for Cause benefitting the Tactical Air Control Foundation (TACP) at Sapelo Hammocks on Friday, May 2nd.

“TACP or Tactical Air Control Party is a small group in the Air Force with 1,500 members that align with the Army echelon. From conventional echelon to the Rangers and Special Forces, TACP is a division of the Air Force that calls in military strikes for the military. The TACP Foundation raises funds to give support to the families of fallen TACP. The funds raised will go towards buying a car at sixteen, college tuition and expenses and starting their adult life,” shares Event Coordinator Tabitha Guy.

“Wes Cubie died protecting our freedom in June of 2021. Leaving behind his wife Abby and three young children, Jackson, Wyatt and Kennedy, this event is dedicated to families like Wes Cuby and for keeping his memory alive,” states Veteran Carriers’ co-partner and president Cliff White.

“We could not have raised over half a million dollars if we did not have the generous sponsors that we do. With supporters from the trucking, recycling, finance, towing, real estate and construction industry continuing to champion our cause, we are able to take care of the families of our fallen brothers,” adds White.

With plans to expand the reach of Trucking for a Cause to help support local and national veteran-supported non-profits and to hold a Feed a Trucker lunch with community partner Enmarket at the end of the month, Veteran Carriers continue to make a difference in the lives of the men and women who serve.
