Local Auto Dealers Support South Florida Community
Posted on Nov 6th 2012 12:59 PM
The South Florida Automobile Dealers Association is an
advocate of philanthropy, benefitting various organizations since the Miami International
Auto Show opened in 1971. For more than 40 years, the South Florida
Automobile Dealers Association has donated more than $7 million to numerous
charities that include Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida,
Habitat for Humanity, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University
of Miami's School of Medicine, the Boys and Girls Clubs in Miami-Dade and
Broward counties, Sheridan House, Easter Seals, and others. We are proud and excited to see that the great dedication
and commitment from our dealers has made prospering charitable organizations a
part of our group's history, said Richard Baker, president of the dealers
group. Charitable giving in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe
counties remains a primary focus of our Association. This year, the auto show will again
donate $15,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida, bringing
the total during the years to more than $250,000. Celebrating its 30th
anniversary, the Ronald McDonald House® (RMH) is a
temporary "home-away from home®" for families to find rest, support
and time away from realities of the hospital procedures and routines. The Miami
House opened its doors in 1981 and is located on the campus of the University
of Miami / Jackson Memorial Hospital.
This year, we are pleased to offer our support to the Miami Children's Hospital with an opening night fund-raiser that will benefit that important medical facility. The
South Florida Auto-Truck Dealers Association began in 1933 and originally was
formed to share marketing opportunities and control costs. Today, the
Association comprises more than 190 dealerships in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm
Beach and Monroe counties making it larger than some state-wide auto dealer
groups. Related Articles
