Toyota realizes there are people around the country in need, and that couldn't be more true at this time of year. Thinking with their hearts, the Japanese automaker recently teamed with two automotive remarketing firms to give a generous sum of money to the 17 Boys & Girls Clubs in cities across the U.S., and Mark Toyota couldn't be more proud of them.
In total, the companies raised approximately $302,620 in contributions that will benefit the non-profit group's various branches, and they found a very creative way to go about doing it. For every vehicle that Toyota Financial Services sold at an ADESA and Norwalk Auto Auctions venue, the company made a $50 donation to the region's Boys & Girls Club. Additionally, the two automotive auctioning firms pledged another $15-$25 themselves when a vehicle sold too.
The specific Boys & Girls Clubs that received this money were spread across the United States, as both partners hold auctions throughout the country. Therefore, the various chapters of the Boys & Girls Club that received funds from Toyota, ADESA, and Norwalk Autos Auction range from Fontana, California to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and many more in between.
Accepting the donation was the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier, California, who held a special check presentation with Toyota ADESA, and Norwalk Autos Auction on December 21st, 2011. It goes without saying that each chapter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America is very gracious to receive this money, and we hope that the success of the campaign continues for many years to come.
