Cascade Auto Group Drives Home Their Support For “Wheels For Our Warriors”

Donation Check1 copy2

Friday January 6, 2012, representatives of the Cascade Auto
Group presented the “Wheels For Our Warriors” fundraising committee with a
check for $2,500.00.

Following a link to the November 29th Klamath
Online announcement of the fundraiser posted by Commissioner Hukill on her
Facebook page, Trish Salvati, General Manager of the Cascade Auto Group,
immediately began thinking about how her company could contribute. Ms. Salvati
described how visible the emotions were among her team members in meetings
where they discussed the fatal accident and the fundraiser. The Cascade Auto
Group team decided they would donate $100 for every new Subaru and Honda that
they sold in the month of December to the “Wheels For Our Warriors” fundraising
campaign. Ms. Salvati said, “Our whole company is strongly supporting this
fundraising campaign and we WILL get this done for our veterans”.

Joe Spendolini said, “Cascade Auto Group’s financial support
is very much appreciated, but they didn’t stop there. I know I speak for the
entire committee in saying how touched we are by the outpouring of support from
Cascade Auto Group. Their $2,500.00 contribution tells just part of the story.
They included “Wheels For Our Warriors” in all of their print/radio/television
advertising to help spread the word throughout our community. They also acted
as a drop off sight for citizens to make contributions to the fundraiser. They
have been an extremely important partner with us, and we are very grateful for
all they have done.

With today’s contribution from Cascade Auto Group, the “Wheels
For Our Warriors” campaign has received donations totaling $26,647.00 toward
the $35 thousand goal of the campaign, or just over $8 thousand remaining.
