Helping Pave the Way, Berlin City's Drive for Education Program Aims to Enrich the Lives of Children in New England
Berlin City Auto Group, a family of dealerships founded in 1980 in New Hampshire, and its Drive for Education foundation, a forward-thinking program created by the employees of Berlin City Auto Group, announce the award recipients in its Drive for Education program, donating $40,276 to twelve K-12 schools spanning across New England. Award recipients will be notified today and will receive their checks tomorrow, May 3, in honor of National Teacher Day.
To be considered for the program, a school official had to submit a short essay to Berlin City Auto Group by April 15 explaining how their school would use a donation of up to $3,500. Berlin City's Brand Ambassadors, a group of employees that lead the dealerships' community involvement campaigns, evaluated the needs of each school and selected the winners accordingly.
"We're excited to hand out the first batch of awards in New England," said Yegor Malinovskii, vice president at Berlin City Auto Group. "Schools are in need of support more than ever and we're thrilled to be able to give back to the communities we serve. This is just the beginning of our support too - we've pledged to donate $100,000 to New England schools by the end of the year."
Berlin City Auto Group will hold check ceremonies on Tuesday, May 3 in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, honoring the winning schools. Awarded schools include:
Berlin City Auto Group donates a portion of sales from each vehicle sole at its five dealerships throughout New England.
