Washington—Today, on Giving Tuesday, the Trucking Cares Foundation announced changes to its leadership. Greg Owen of Ability Tri-Modal was selected to be the new chairman of the trucking industry’s charitable arm. Owen succeeds Phil Byrd, TCF’s inaugural chairman who served in that capacity since TCF was founded in 2018.
Over the past year, TCF has donated $150,000 to various charitable causes. One of TCF’s top priorities under Owen’s leadership in the coming years is to continue raising the profile of the Foundation’s efforts and develop new fundraising initiatives with the ultimate goal of creating an endowed TCF fund. Your support is needed to achieve that goal, and you can participate by donating here.
“I am deeply honored to lead the Trucking Cares Foundation, a very special organization that reflects the character and empathy of members of the trucking industry and enables us to give back to the communities we serve every day,” said TCF Chairman Greg Owen, head coach of Ability Tri-Modal. “TCF would not be the strong organization it is today without the dedicated, visionary leadership of Phil Byrd. His contributions were instrumental in getting TCF off the ground, steering it through the challenges caused by the pandemic, and putting it on a firm footing for the future. I look forward to building on Phil’s commendable record. One of my top priorities will be a new, expansive fundraising initiative to establish a TCF endowment fund so that the trucking industry’s generous donations will continue to support communities in perpetuity.”
