“The HUMMER family continues
to grow exponentially with the introduction of
new models, like the affordable,
mid-size H3,” said Martin Walsh, HUMMER general
manager. “The Homecoming gives us a chance
to celebrate the brand’s expansion and offers
HUMMER owners around the country a chance to learn
more about their vehicles’ unparalleled capabilities.”
Throughout the week-long celebration, HUMMER owners
will have opportunities to learn more about their
HUMMERs and off-road driving techniques through vehicle
maintenance and repair classes, obstacle courses,
off-road instruction and driving on HUMMER Driving
Academy courses.
In addition, the HUMMER Club will offer attendees
Red Cross courses and off-road training to certify
more owners in the HOPE (HUMMER Owners Prepared for
Emergencies) program.
Homecoming activities will conclude on Thursday,
June 22, with an Armed Forces Tribute featuring Grammy
award winner Lee Greenwood in concert. Proceeds from
the concert tickets, along with matching contributions
from AM General and HUMMER will be donated to the
Fisher House (www.fisherhouse.org) – a unique
private-public partnership for families of patients
receiving medical care at major military and VA medical
centers.
South
