A Natural Fit for Cooling With Connelly's

For Cooling With Connelly's, supporting veterans is not a one-time gesture. The company has long offered a 10% discount on all repair services for military veterans and sees the Boots ON. Hearts UNITED. sponsorship as an extension of that commitment.

"Veterans and their families are a huge part of the Treasure Coast community," said Don Connelly, owner of Cooling With Connelly's. "When we heard about what Mission United was doing with this event, getting involved was a no-brainer. These are people who served our country, and the least we can do is show up for them."
