TommyCar Auto Donates to Helping Hearts For Hadley Schools

Carla Cosenzi, President of TommyCar  Auto Group, made a significant commitment to Hadley Schools when - earlier this year, she agreed to become a "matching sponsor" for the Helping Hearts for Hadley Schools 1st Annual Road Race - held on April 7th  at Hadley Elementary School.  Three of the Auto Group's four dealerships  sponsored the event, agreeing to match other sponsorships and race registration fees up to a total of $5,000.

Helping Hearts for Hadley Schools, is an organization that strives to encourage adults and children in the Hadley community to get active and at the same time raise funds towards special initiatives for its schools. Their first initiative was focused on improving technology in Hadley schools.

Children's Miracle Network and Tommy Car Auto Group

After last years great turnout at Country Nissan, we thought we would share the love with Northampton Volkswagen this year. Northampton VW  joined with the Children's Miracle Network for the month of March to donate to the Baystate Children's Hospital! We  donated $10 for every test drive, and $100 for every new car sold to the hospital, and accrued a grand total of $3,840!! Great work everyone!

Northampton Volkswagen Supports Walk for Wishes

A big thank you to those who helped make the 3rd annual Holyoke Mall Walk for Wishes such a huge success! We were extremely proud to be a sponsor of an event with over 300 walkers registered. As a result, the organization greatly exceeded its fundraising goal.  

Make-A-Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.  Great job everyone!  Click here for images from the event.
