2022 Hot Chocolate Run

Every year we support Safe Passage by running in Hot Chocolate Run. Safe Passage is the Hampshire County organization addressing domestic violence. Since 1977, Safe Passage has helped thousands of families achieve safety, build justice, and rebuild their lives in the wake of domestic violence. The funds raised help provide safe shelter, legal assistance, and critical counseling services for adults and kids who have lived with violence in their homes

People at risk of domestic violence – the people you support through your Hot Chocolate Run fundraising efforts – face even greater dangers during this pandemic. As access to family and friends has been restricted, people at risk of violence are also having to spend more time in the presence of their abusers.

You can learn more about Safe Passage and domestic violence on their website: https://safepass.org.

Suprise Squad at Brookings Elementry

It was a beautiful September day in Springfield and the sun was shining outside Brookings Elementary School when dozens of students, teachers, and community members were waiting to surprise the real sunshine, who was behind a set of doors.

With a nickname to match his positive energy and infectious smile, John Morgan can brighten any room, but in this case the field outside the Brookings School.

“He’s just a fantastic guy and does so much not only for school, but for church, for community,” said Sabrena Brantley.

You could feel the energy of how much all these kids love John, which makes it even more special!

On October 19th, we were honored to go to the 2023 Reader Raves Awards dinner at the Log Cabin in Holyoke! Our team came to accept not one…but 4 awards! Congratulations to all the other winners, there were SO many and I’m glad we could be a part of it.

I had so much fun with the whole team from all departments and cannot wait to see what we win next year!

Hyundai Hope on Wheels 2022

All of September, we were so proud to participate in Hyundai Hope on Wheels to support the families, researchers, doctors and children impacted by childhood cancer. Every year, we raise awareness and additional funds for cancer research to help #EndChildhoodCancer.

For every Hyundai sold, $20 is donated to Dana-Farber, who has had such a big impact on us at TommyCar Auto Group and my family. I’m so proud to support the Hyundai association with this campaign every year and I am excited to see it continue to grow.

Here’s to fighting childhood cancer!
