Westchester Toyota Gives Back to the Community

Yonkers, NY, June 3, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​Every 90 days Westchester Toyota selects 3 local non-profit organizations to participate in a campaign on Facebook. The participating non-profits then get their local advocates to vote for their specific organization on Facebook.  At the end of the 90-day cycle Westchester Toyota makes a $1500 donation to the organization that gets the most votes.  In an effort to make sure every local non-profit wins when participating, Westchester Toyota also makes a $750 donation to the second place organization and $500 to the final participant.

"I’m excited about the success we’ve had with the Give Back campaign.  As a family owned dealership we understand the importance of getting involved in the community and feel the Give Back Program gives us the opportunity to assist these deserving organizations that make Westchester a better place to live. We all look forward to keeping the tradition of Giving Back to the community for years to come,” commented Rich Prager, Westchester Toyota’s General Manager
