Kumho Tire USA, Georgia Department of Veterans Service, and Georgia Veterans Service Foundation Announce Formal Partnership to Support Georgia's Veterans

Three Organizations Unite Around a Shared Commitment to Those Who Served

ATLANTA, May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kumho Tire USA, Inc. (KUSA), and the Georgia Veterans Service Foundation (GVSF) today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), formalizing a long-term, collaborative partnership in service of Georgia's approximately 680,000 veterans and their families.

These organizations, spanning private industry, state government, and nonprofits, come together around a shared belief that those who have served deserve the active, sustained support of the communities they protected. Through this partnership, KUSA, and GVSF commit to identifying and delivering programs that create meaningful impact for Georgia's veteran community. Specific initiatives will be announced as the partnership develops.

The partnership first came into public view earlier this year, when GVSF representatives were honored as Co-Captains at Kumho Tire Night at State Farm Arena, a moment before the Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics game that reflected the spirit of recognition and respect at the heart of this collaboration.
