(Donna Rivera)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Atkins Kroll Saipan officially donated yesterday the pickup truck it leased for free to the American Red Cross-NMI Chapter to help with relief efforts in the wake of Typhoon Soudelor two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The turnover for the 2015 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner double cab  pickup  happened during the dealer\u2019s Tacoma Spirit Sales Event last Saturday at its San Jose showroom.<\/p>\n<p>ARC-NMI Chapter executive director John Hirsh thanked Atkins Kroll for the gesture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had the truck all throughout Soudelor. They decided to give us the Tacoma truck with the title and additional free main maintenance through the life of the vehicle. That\u2019s a huge donation. We\u2019re incredibly grateful and we didn\u2019t expect this. This is nothing new for AK. They\u2019ve been supporting us for over 20 years. They\u2019re a long-time supporter of Red Cross,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Atkins Kroll Saipan president and general manager Douglas Brennan said the company is happy to donate the car, knowing it would be put to good use. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the expiration of the lease, our president decided to donate three units to the Red Cross. They now own it. In addition to that we\u2019re giving a Service 4 Life maintenance package,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Red Cross has done such a great job helping the people of the island specially during Soudelor. They\u2019re still helping out. Right after the storm we donated the use of the original trucks so they could use it to move water and other supplies around and help with emergency relief,\u201d Brennan added.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, as part of Atkins Kroll\u2019s centennial celebration, it donated a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner double cab pickup truck on a two-year lease to the local chapter of the Red Cross. The lease agreement also included routine maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>When the lease expired in December, Atkins Kroll decided to donate the ownership of the vehicle to the Red Cross. Two other trucks were donated to the Red Cross in Guam.<\/p>\n<p>Including the Service 4 Life packages, Atkins Kroll\u2019s total donation is valued at $84,000. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atkins Kroll Saipan officially donated yesterday the pickup truck it leased for free to the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":245616,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[9939,559,235,6333],"class_list":["post-245599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-atkins-kroll-saipan","tag-red-cross","tag-san-jose","tag-typhoon-soudelor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
