Hitachi Global Air Power recently announced the donation of a custom-designed Sullair portable air compressor to the American Rental Association (ARA) Foundation. This is the company's seventh time donating a customized Sullair portable air compressor to the foundation. The compressor will be auctioned off and the winner will be announced at the ARA Show - which starts Jan. 30.
According to the company:
Hitachi Global Air Power US, LLC, an industry provider of compressed air solutions, announced it will donate a custom-designed Sullair 185 Series Tier 4 Final Portable Air Compressor to the ARA Foundation Charity Auction.
“We are long-time supporters of the ARA Foundation, and we are honored to continue this partnership in 2025,” said John Randall, Hitachi Global Air Power president and CEO. “This year, we are also proud to expand our charitable efforts by honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans through our support of Wounded Warrior Project. These donations reflect our commitment to supporting our industry and giving back to our community while paying tribute to the heroes who have made profound contributions to our country.”
ARA Foundation Auction
The ARA Foundation Charity Auction will be held online beginning Jan. 13, culminating in the announcement of the winner during the ARA Show in Las Vegas. This marks the seventh year Hitachi Global Air Power has donated a Sullair portable compressor to the ARA Foundation auction, with past designs including a pink compressor for breast cancer awareness, a “heart of gold” design for the American Heart Association, and a Mardi Gras themed compressor supporting the Alzheimer’s Association. To date, Hitachi Global Air Power’s contributions have raised over $120,000 for the ARA Foundation Auction and an additional $40,000 for outside charities.
Supporting Wounded Warrior Project
The donated WWP-themed Sullair Series 185 air compressor features hand-written messages of support and gratitude from Hitachi Global Air Power employees, added during a special signing event held at the company’s manufacturing facility on January 15.
Additionally, Hitachi Global Air Power will present a $10,000 contribution to WWP in February 2025 in support of wounded veterans, their families, and caregivers. The donation will support the organization’s mission to provide life-changing programs and services in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care for veterans.
“The support we receive from Hitachi Global Air Power helps Wounded Warrior Project honor and empower warriors in their communities,” said Brea Kratzert Todd, vice president of business development for WWP. “Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, warriors, and their families never pay a penny for our programs and services.”
