Human Initiatives
San Antonio Sports
World Car’s partnership with San Antonio Sports allows us to have a direct, positive impact on children and veterans, two segments of the SA community whom we feel particularly driven to serve. For three decades, San Antonio Sports has lived its mission – “to transform our community through the power of sport” – through several programs including All Can Ski, a 3-day adaptive skiing program for disabled veterans and children held at SeaWorld, and Valor Games Southwest, a multi-sport competition for veterans and service members with a physical disability. World Car is proud to have a role in representing and promoting the values of integrity, leadership, cooperation and passion throughout our community.
Employee Volunteer Program
World Car is not an organization of employees whose commitment to the community stops when they clock out every day. Whether it is as a part of World Car’s human initiatives or through charitable causes that are close to their own hearts, each and every employee embraces the understanding that they have an obligation to give back in some way. In the near future, we will be implementing incentives to recognize those within the World Car ranks who exceed expectations in volunteerism and set the bar even higher for the rest of us.
Deaf Link
World Car is proud to partner with San Antonio-based Deaf Link to become the first auto dealership in the country to be completely accessible to deaf or hard-of-hearing customers. Through the use of state-of-the-art technologies developed by Deaf Link and its associates, each of World Car’s dealerships will offer by the end of 2014 messaging and materials in a format that can be utilized by the deaf or hearing-impaired community. Initially, this initiative will benefit the 200,000 San Antonians with aural disabilities.
We Remember
On Memorial Day 2014, we bought $2,000 worth of Starbucks at Lackland and Randoph Air Force bases and handed out Buddy Poppies and bookmarks featuring the above excerpt from Michael’s poem. We realize that these gestures are infinitesimal. But each year we will do something similar – just tokens that demonstrate our appreciation of those in uniform and awareness that Memorial Day is about more than pool parties and burgers on the grill.

Comm Car
As with Heroes Driving Heroes, the opportunity to support our neighbors in need through the CommCar program resonates deeply with the entire World Car family. With this initiative, currently in development, we will have a direct and explicit impact on more than 210,000 San Antonio households; in time, the program will help more than 3.5 million households in Texas and 50 million families across the nation. The idea behind CommCar is simple, but what it will mean to the lives of its beneficiaries is immeasurable.
Family for the 4th
