Community Support 1


We believe healthy flourishing communities exist only with the assistance of others. From inception, our mandate has been to lend a hand and participate to the fullest extent we’re able. There are so many great community-spirited initiatives, many surviving only due to the hard work of their volunteers and leaders. Each month Auto Show selects a different organization to support; both with a financial donation and spotlight. Our hope being that you’ll find an emotional connection with some of these missions, and decide to share their story as well, below is a selection of causes we've supported to date.

Have a charitable cause that is important to you? Please share it with us for consideration in our future spotlights.
