I bet it's not going to matter to anyone if a corporation does charity work for the free publicity, the tax write off, or the virtue signaling... as long as the charity is a kids or pets type. So, in that context, it's still cool that the Boys and Girls Club benefits!

Bridgestone held a block party at Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee’s Andrew Jackson Clubhouse in Nashville, where the company surprised Club kids and families with a new passenger van and a $100,000 unrestricted operation grant.

Bridgestone Retail Operations, a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas, is marking the10th anniversary of its Driving Great Futures partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) with major donations, special giving campaigns and engagement opportunities for Club kids throughout the remainder of the year. 

Passenger vans are among the most vital resources a Boys & Girls Club can have, providing a solution to transportation challenges and enabling safe travel for young people to and from Club locations. These grants also enable Boys & Girls Clubs to provide more learning experiences for youth off site, such as field trips, college tours and other enriching activities.
