The Crozat Family Foundation and G & C Auto Body recently had the privilege of partnering with USAA and the National Auto Body Council to serve our military community in a truly meaningful way.

Three active service members were awarded reliable, life-changing transportation — something that can make an incredible difference for individuals and their families. It was an honor to be part of this moment and to give back to those who have sacrificed so much in service to our country.

To all who have served: thank you. We are deeply grateful for your service and your sacrifice.

We also want to extend a HUGE thank you to the incredible partners and donors who made this possible:
Martin Auto Color, Inc., Acrisure, LKQQ Corporation, PPG, Kent Automotive, 3M, Enterprise, Precision for Collision, Baker Tilly, Future Automotive Group, Abby Law, Sheppard Mullin, Bank of America, Nexsyis Collision, World Oil, Parts Trader, Part Bay, and Keystone Automotive.

Because of your generosity, we are able to continue changing lives through dependable transportation. We truly could not do this work without you. 🚗🇺🇸

Another wonderful year participating in Secret Santa with KZST Sonoma County's Radio Station!
Katelyn is an incredibly dedicated and loving 44-year-old single mother of four, including one child with severe disabilities. The family currently relies on Katelyn’s 2014 Chevy Silverado, but the monthly payments have become overwhelming and are adding to an already heavy load. She is hoping and praying for some relief.
Receiving reliable transportation would significantly ease Katelynn’s financial burden, allowing her to be more present for her children and better support their needs. It would also help her pursue her dream of becoming an EMT—she is enrolled to begin classes at the JC in January.
Jason is a 44-year-old single father of two with nearly four years of sobriety who has worked hard to rebuild his life. His 2007 Volvo, gifted early in his recovery, recently suffered a major transmission failure, leaving him without reliable transportation. He depends on a car to commute between Santa Rosa, Bodega, and Sebastopol for work, caring for his children, and attending recovery commitments. A safe, dependable vehicle is essential for Jason to maintain his stability, employment, recovery, and his role as a consistent, dedicated father.
Each recipient was awarded their own 2024 Honda Accord to help them and their families get back on the road to life!
A final BIG thank you goes out to our partners, KZST Sonoma County's Radio Station! for inviting us to join them once again in this endeavor, Jettus Memmer with Allstate Insurance for binding the policies and ensuring Katelynn and Jason have full coverage as they get back on the road to life, and finally to G & C Auto Bodyy for sponsoring the purchase of this vehicle, the insurance policies for our recipients, along with 6 months of gift card help for gas and groceries for Katelynn, Jason, and their families!

Happy Holidays from the Crozat Family Foundation and G & C Auto Body! This year we were able to gift 5 recipients with vehicles graciously donated by GEICO!
Juanita, a dedicated 34-year-old single mother of two boys she calls her “M&M’s,” has struggled since their 2018 Toyota CHR broke down, was stolen, and ultimately totaled. She now depends on costly Uber rides to get her sons to school and herself to work supporting special-needs children. Without reliable transportation, daily tasks are difficult, and her boys miss out on sports and music opportunities. A dependable vehicle would ease their daily challenges and open new doors for the whole family. Juanita received a 2018 Toyota Camry.
Trinity, a 37-year-old single mother of three (including two adopted children), has faced major challenges since a workplace injury at Pepsi led to six leg surgeries and more to come. After overcoming homelessness and securing stable housing, she fell behind on payments for her 2020 Dodge Ram, which was ultimately repossessed. Receiving a vehicle would greatly improve her ability to manage medical appointments, daily responsibilities, and her family’s path toward stability and independence. Trinity received a 2020 Honda Accord Sport.
Josh and Sam, together for two years, are raising Josh’s two daughters while their 2005 Jeep Liberty with 267,000 miles is breaking down beyond repair. Amid a difficult custody battle and ongoing CPS involvement with the girls’ mother, they are working hard to create a safe, stable home. A reliable vehicle would be a crucial support in helping them maintain the stability they’re striving to build. Josh and Sam received a 2017 Subaru Cross trek.
Verne, a 68-year-old veteran living in remote West County, has been battling stage 4 prostate cancer since 2008. Without reliable transportation, he is largely homebound and isolated, unable to easily access medical care, groceries, or opportunities to earn extra income through music gigs or DoorDash. A dependable vehicle would greatly improve his independence, connection to community, and overall quality of life. Verne received a 2020 Toyota Corolla.
Prisilla, a 40-year-old single mother of three, faced major financial hardship after pregnancy-related medical complications forced her to stop working. When the transmission in her 2017 Ford Escape failed and the repair costs were unaffordable, she made the difficult choice to surrender the vehicle. Without transportation, getting her children to school and managing daily errands has become a significant struggle. A reliable vehicle would ease her stress, support her children’s needs, and help her rebuild stability for her family. Prisilla received a 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI.
A HUGE thank you to all of our amazing partners who have this event possible. Thank you to Bombos Pizza for donating a beautiful meal for our recipients, to Mad Batter Cakery Co for making our delicious desserts, and to our past recipients who volunteered to aid in making this day special for those awarded a vehicle. Thank you to Tristar Automotive for doing the mechanical work on all of our vehicles, and to Next level detaling707 for getting our vehicles ready for our deserving recipients. Thank you National Auto Body Council for being such a great support during this event. And again, thank you to G & C Auto Body for sponsoring all 5 insurance policies along with 6 months of gift card help for gas and groceries for all 5 recipients and their families.

Rae is a 65-year-old grandmother and the sole caregiver for her 16-year-old grandson, who has special needs. She lives on a fixed income and has devoted her life to providing him with stability, care, and love.
Until recently, Rae relied on her 2002 Acura RSX to get her grandson to school and essential medical appointments. Unfortunately, the car is now beyond repair, leaving them without reliable transportation, depending on friends for rides—an arrangement that was unpredictable and difficult given her grandsons needs. Attaining reliable transportation will allow Rae to continue meeting her grandson’s daily and medical needs with dignity and stability.
