Wheels For Warriors 2024 Results

Thank You For An Incredible 2024 Event!

We'll see you in 2025!

WOW - what a show!  We cannot THANK YOU enough for making our first Wheels for Warriors: Maine's Premier Car Show a massive success!  It would not have been possible without the support from the community, volunteers and business partners! We cannot wait to bring the show back for 2025!! 

We also wanted to provide a little recap of the show because, without your support, this would not have been possible!

 

Our overall mission was to raise money and support The Marino Project initiatives, and we exceeded that goal! With the support of our community and partners, we raised $30,345 to help give Maine Military members access to the resources they need and deserve!! A reminder that 100% of that money goes to our organization - The Marino Project.

Why Our Company Created A Car Show

We at Home Roofing Solutions, created "Wheels For Warriors" with a noble purpose. Founded by Joe and Jodi Brasslett, Home Roofing Solutions is deeply committed to giving back to the community, especially to those who have served in the U.S. Military. Inspired by their own friend’s & family members' military service and driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference, Joe and Jodi established The Marino Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting, advocating for, and providing financial relief to the brave men and women of the U.S. Military.

Understanding the challenges faced by military personnel and their families, Joe and Jodi embarked on a mission to create tangible impact in their lives. Through The Marino Project, they aim to offer comprehensive support and assistance, ensuring that veterans and active-duty service members receive the recognition, resources, and aid they deserve. By hosting the car show, Home Roofing Solutions seeks to raise funds and awareness for The Marino Project's initiatives, fostering a sense of community and gratitude while honoring the sacrifices made by our military heroes.
