We were excited to take part in this year’s Margarita Madness event, hosted by the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce.
This fun-filled evening brought together local businesses and community members for a night of networking, entertainment, and sampling creative margarita creations. Our team was proud to join the festivities and serve our signature TommyCar Turbocharged Mango Margarita, which was a hit among attendees!
A big thank you to the Amherst Area Chamber for organizing such a vibrant and engaging event, and to everyone who stopped by to connect with us. It’s always a pleasure to support local initiatives that bring our community together.
We’re already looking forward to next year’s celebration!
Carla Cosenzi of Country Hyundai hit the streets in downtown Northampton on June 2nd, 2017 looking for a Country Hyundai sticker on the back of someone’s vehicle! Once she found a Country Hyundai sticker that lucky winner received $250! Congratulations to Sarah Laroche. Ms. Laroche was in shock when Carla and her children approached her with a check for $250! Stay tuned because Country Nissan or Northampton Volkswagen will continue the hunt for a sticker!
Tommy Car Auto Group awarded two students each with a $1,000 scholarship to attend college this fall. The Scholarship received an overwhelming number of applicants this year, totaling over 100 applications by local students. Lily Rogers of Northampton High School will be attending Yale University. Allison Jenks of Hopkins Academy will be attending University of Connecticut. Both students demonstrated excellence in the classroom and in the community.
The Tom Cosenzi Scholarship was established to honor the memory of Thomas E. Cosenzi. When Thomas E. Cosenzi passed away in 2009, it was not only ownership of the TommyCar Auto Group that passed to his children, Carla and Thomas, but his legacy of giving back to the community. That legacy was evident when the two recipients of the 2017 Tom Cosenzi Scholarship were awarded their checks for $1,000.
“The Tom Cosenzi Scholarship is dedicated to assisting High School graduates in furthering their education,” said Carla Cosenzi, President of TommyCar Auto Group. “The combination of academic achievement and community leadership exhibited by these students underscores the core values of this scholarship.”
Country Nissan, Country Hyundai, Northampton Volkswagen were proud supporters of the 36thAnnual Northampton Pride Parade. The streets of downtown Northampton began to shine with all colors of the rainbow as people from all over lined up for the parade. Noho Pride's annual Parade and Pride Day is an event celebrating the spirit and strength in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities in Western Massachusetts.
Giving back to the community is second nature to Carla Cosenzi. For the sixth year in a row Country Hyundai partnered with Baystate Children’s Hospital to raise money. During the month of March, Country Hyundai donated $10 for every Elantra test drive and $100 for every Elantra purchased to Baystate Children’s Hospital.
Thanks to customer involvement, Country Hyundai was able to donate $1,950 towards the work and well-being of Baystate Children's Hospital. In addition to the monetary donation, Carla donated 3 brand new iPads for the hospital. To date, Carla and her team have raised over $16,500.
“Country’s Hyundai’s generous donation to Baystate Children’s Hospital, our local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital and our continued partnership with Carla Cosenzi throughout the years is a perfect example of her enthusiasm to keep funds local and the Country Hyundai team understanding the impact it has on our pediatric patients and families in the community. We so much appreciate their commitment to Baystate Health Foundation and continuing to use us as their charity of choice,” said Briana LaChappelle, Manager of Fundraising Events from Baystate Health Foundation.”
“I try to spend time supporting organizations like these and many others. In my mind, it’s just a logical habit. I feel like, as a business owner, it’s my obligation to give back to the community. Thanks to this event, we’re able to help make a difference,” said Carla Cosenzi, President of Country Hyundai
On March 30th, 2017 TommyCar Auto Group sponsored Margarita Madness hosted by the Amherst Chamber. About 500 people gathered at Hadley Farms Meeting House to try over 15 different Margaritas from local businesses and restaurants. Although, we did not win, our Country Carla Margarita was a huge hit!
