Update on Cars4Vets

Tucsonan, Scotty Scotton, founder of Cars4Vets is on a roll. Since I first wrote about this fine mission to our fellow veterans, Scotty has donated several more cars to needy veterans. The awareness of his mission, since returning from Iraq has spread like wild fire, as he gains support from local donors of automobiles and benefactors who have grown fond of his work.

Cars4Vets has liaisons in 48 States whom locate autos and connect the donor with the veteran. Here in Tucson, Scotty an Army Corps of Engineer Soldier and ASE Certified mechanic will take a car that needs repairs and get it road worthy prior to donating it to a veteran.

His awareness campaign has included numerous talk shows, presentations at Veterans Fraternal Organizations, and public appearances. This man is a one man work horse and is blessed with a gift of boundless energy.

In addition to his life mission to help his comrades, Scotty maintains a class schedule at Pima College in Machine Tool Technology, while working toward a Masters Degree in Construction Engineering. He was just elected as the President of a new campus veterans club named; PCC Vets4Vets. He also just received an appointment to the City of Tucson Veterans Affairs Council.

For details on the Cars4Vets program, or to make a donation, call Scotty Scotton/ OIF Veteran, at 520-272-7031.

  1. Scotty is a dynamo and for those whose life constraints prevent them from doing as much as they would like to can have a big impact by working through Scotty. Donations of cars, money and time are always appreciated.

  2. Read, reviewed and now spoke with Scotty on the phone. This Vet is doing some much needed services for our Veterans, I am going to get the word out in Cochise County not only to Vets in need of what Scotty offers but also to all the Vet Orgs and Groups, he needs and deserves all of our support…. Scotty, thanks for this heartfelt service you are providing to our Veterans, what you are doing will not only get our Vets to where they need to go at the VA but it will be insturmental in preventing homelessness to many, thank you!
