What We Offer

The catalyst for change at THADS Foundation is threefold. We know the power of resources, respite, and resilience. We believe in empowering veterans who need to build their Mental Wealth and careers. We support others who give back.

THADS Foundation believes in the power of community and career. Thaddeus himself worked for Buick Motor Co. and supported the design of the 1951 Buick Roadmaster front grill. His family has continued that love for cars, creativity, and career. If you are interested in automotive career resources or support, reach out to us.

  • Our team has education experts who can tailor a presentation for your K-12 or college class, community agency and/or foundation to share the benefits and potential of careers in the automotive fields.

  • Our team also includes automotive industry experts with over 40+ combined years of experience. We are ready to support your career transition, promotion, and celebrations through coaching, resume supports, and consulting.

Career & Car Resources

Community & Charitable Work

THADS continues the charitable work that Thaddeus was known for. From his retirement in 1976 from Buick Motor Co. and well into his late 90’s, Thad volunteered with a number of community organizations. We want to keep that work going! We do this in several ways:

  • Work with partner organizations who have similar veteran friendly missions

  • Volunteer time and donate services that align with our mission

  • If you have a veteran friendly non-profit organization and you want our help, click here.

Compassion through THADS Retreat

THADS Foundation is dedicated to supporting those who serve. Our goal is to purchase land for the establishment of THADS Retreat. Thaddeus loved travel and spending time outdoors. As a WWII veteran he had a special connection to ‘the simple life’. We are working to create partnerships, fundraising experiences, and sponsorships so that we can create retreat, respite, and relaxation that veterans and their families deserve. How can we get there?

  • Consider making a tax-deductible donation through our website

  • Connect with us if you are a mental health, wellness, or community partner and you’d like to volunteer

  • Let us know what you need! Are you a veteran or family of a veteran and you want to share with us what would make your transition, career, or wellness better, connect with us to share!
