WASHINGTON — The Trucking Cares Foundation (TCF) is donating $25,000 to the South Dallas Driving Academy (SDDA), a nonprofit that provides free driver education courses to low-income teens and young adults.

“The contribution builds on the foundation’s longstanding support of the program,” TCF said. “The Trucking Cares Foundation initially donated $15,000 in seed funding that helped launch the program in 2021, followed by an additional $20,000 in 2023 and $25,000 in 2024 as part of its ongoing commitment to expanding access to career opportunities in trucking.”
