In a remarkable display of community spirit and dedication to the success of the luxury transportation industry, Ecko Worldwide Transportation is proud to announce its successful completion of a yearlong fundraising mission in support of the National Limousine Association (NLA). Ecko President Harry Dhillon spearheaded this philanthropic effort, which involved donating a quarter to the NLA for every ride completed during 2023.
Recognizing the vital role the NLA plays in advancing the interests of transportation providers worldwide, Dhillon felt compelled to contribute to their ongoing efforts. With a firm belief in the power of collective generosity, he extended an open invitation to fellow operators, urging them to join him in pledging one quarter for every job they completed as well.
Over the course of 2023, Ecko donated $4,100 to the NLA. This contribution comes with no strings attached, allowing the NLA the freedom to invest the funds as they deem necessary to best serve NLA members and the industry.
Based in San Jose, California, Ecko was honored as Operator of the Year in 2015 and 2017 and received a People’s Choice Leadership award in 2018.
