SIERRA VISTA — Thunder Vette Set Corvette Club of Sierra Vista recently contributed $5,000 to various local charities.

The charities included the Salvation Army, Stocking Stuffers, the Boys & Girls Club, St. Vincent DePaul, Forgach House, CANTER, Care for the Horses, Sierra Vista Animal Shelter, Habitat for Humanity, Cochise Children’s Center, Arizona Children’s Home Family Preservation Bisbee, Women’s Transition Project DBA Renaissance House, AYSO809 Douglas, Sierra Vista Fire Department, Fry Fire Department, Huachuca City Fire Department, Whetstone Fire Department, Douglas Fire Department, Palominas Fire Department, the Good Neighbor Alliance, and CTOF Fort Huachuca (Chaplain’s Fund).

Group President Dave Zilinski says the contributions are an increase of 16 percent from last year’s contributions. The contributed funds were acquired by the club’s events throughout the year, culminating in its Corvette Thunder event in November of this year. That event also brings thousands of dollars into the Sierra Vista Economy and enabled the club to increase the charitable contributions it makes every year.

Thunder Vette Set is a nonprofit organization that donates to local and national charities each year. The group is an active organization, which participates, in many local events throughout the community.
