CYPRESS, Calif. – Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) today announced donation details on funds raised at their annual West and East Coast Mitsubishi Owners Day (MOD). Each year, thousands of Mitsubishi owners and car enthusiasts from across the country gather together at these two events to celebrate the brand and showcase Mitsubishi vehicles old and new. All proceeds made at both events were given to Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County and the Wounded Warrior Project.

Mitsubishi Motors held West Coast MOD on July 8th at its North American headquarters in Cypress, California.

"Both of these influential organizations work to improve the well-being of their respective communities," said Don Swearingen, executive vice president and chief operating officer, MMNA.
