You’ve checked your car’s tires, fluids and battery, filled up your gas tank and mapped out your route, but you’re never fully ready for a road trip until you’ve prepared an emergency travel kit.

Arizona and copper go together like – well, like Arizona and copper. Copper drove Arizona’s early economy, giving rise to communities such as Bisbee, Globe, Miami, Morenci, Ajo and Jerome.

Clearly, the vehicles’ owners support the team or organization displayed on the plate. But did you know that the plate supports the organization’s charitable efforts as well?
