Princeton, IN - Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana (TMMI) today donated a Tundra pickup truck to the City of Princeton to be used by the Princeton Police Department and committed $100,000 to Indiana University. The donations commemorate the one-millionth vehicle built at TMMI. The vehicle was lined off at 9 p.m. on June 1.

"Today's donations are our way of thanking the community for its support of TMMI since the very beginning," said Okamoto, President and CEO of TMMI. "Safety in our communities and educating our youth are both very important to TMMI. This is the perfect way to show our commitment to these causes."

The Police department will use the Tundra to transport its police. Indiana University will offer two scholarships per year - to a young woman and a young man. The scholarships will be for $2,500 each. The students will be from a Gibson County high school.

"Indiana University is honored to receive a scholarship given by a company known for its continuing commitment to young people and to education," said Fred Eichhorn, President of the Board of trustees of Indiana University. "We are also honored that the scholarship carries the name of Governor Frank O'Bannon, a great IU alumnus and friend to the University, and a great man and public servant. We are proud to welcome the fine students from Gibson County who will be the recipients of these scholarships in years to come. IU will give them an academic home worthy of their talents and aspirations."

TMMI's milestone is the result of a six-year, $2.5 billion investment by Toyota in its Princeton, Indiana operation, which has contributed to Toyota's position as one of the world's leading automotive manufacturers.
