Our Commitment to Giving Back

At our dealership, we take pride in giving back to the community that supports us.

One of our strongest partnerships is with Joliet Junior College, where we’ve donated a Transit® van and sponsor annual scholarships — one for office administration and three for automotive technology students. We’re also deeply involved with the local YMCA, participating in their summer picnic, fundraisers, trunk-or-treat, and annual gala. Each holiday season, we partner with the YMCA for a community gift-wrapping event to help local families.

Supporting children and families is important to us, which is why we contribute to organizations like Shorewood HUGS and their Kindness Gala, which helps grant wishes to those in need, similar to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

In addition to youth and education programs, we proudly support community safety and advocacy. We join the Joliet Police Department’s annual trunk-or-treat and parade events, and back initiatives like CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of River Valley and Kendall County, supporting court-appointed advocates for children in foster care. We’ve also participated in fundraisers such as the Ford-sponsored Drive 4 UR School event for Plainfield South Athletics and have supported the Knights of Columbus — including sponsoring 150 Christmas gifts for local children.

Whether it’s through donations, sponsorships, or volunteer efforts, we are committed to strengthening and uplifting the people and organizations that make our community thrive.
