5:16 am
emmett toms: "generally, it's a monetary grant that we make to organizations, but in this case they needed some transportation, so those agencies that need vehicles we'll donate a vehicle." rodi: "and i asked them if they had any vehicles available, whether it be a truck or a van or both." toms: "we had worked up a four- wheel-drive pickup that met their needs to transport animals and do the things they need to haul dogfood and do all this kind of thing." rodi: "and the end of july, they came through for us and we got this lovely truck here, a four-by-four with a camper shell." toms: "sometimes it's monetary, sometimes it might be a vehicle." rodi: "so we've been able to use it for adoption events and picking up supplies." toms: "it fit the bill, and satisfied the needs of the local organization, the spca." swisher: "the truck was a good thing, because we didn't have any way to go and get people, and if they didn't have four-wheel- drive, then it was going to be hard for them to get in." atthowe: "i knew that with the truck we would be able to have some employees come in at least." rodi: "so for two days in a row, we were able to come

safely in the snow, thanks to dominion and this lovely truck they gave us." emmett toms -- the dominion power official -- told us that the gift of a truck is actually fairly unusual for the foundation. they usually support organizations with money alone, because most of the vehicles the company uses are leased or used so heavily as to no longer be a good value. the university of virginia and virginia tech women's basketball teams head to the court for the commonwealth clash. we'll have highlights, in sports. and, they're a staple at almost every super bowl party. so just how many
