On Oct. 24, Miracle Toyota presented the Brian Bill Foundation with an $8,118 donation. The funds represent a portion of the Haines City car dealership’s September sales.

“Freedom isn’t free,” said Mike Murphy, CEO and owner of Miracle Toyota and Murphy Auto Group. “We have a lot of people deployed who don’t get appreciated the way they should. We’re very proud of this donation and to support the Brian Bill Foundation, which gives help to our military men and women who need it.”

The Brian Bill Foundation provides therapeutic support to active-duty and retired U.S. Special Operations warriors dealing with post-traumatic stress, mild traumatic brain injury and chronic pain. The foundation was established to honor the memory of Navy SEAL Brian R. Bill, who was a Navy SEAL killed in action in Afghanistan in 2011.
