Tom Cosenzi Driving for the Cure Golf Tournament raises over $156,000 for Dana-Farber

The Tom Cosenzi Driving For The Cure Charity Golf Tournament hosted its annual charity golf tournament on September 28th, 2022 and the event was a resounding success. Golfers from the local community, as well as corporate sponsors, came out in droves to show their support for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The tournament raised an incredible $156,600, setting a new fundraising record for the event.

The charity golf tournament has been a cornerstone of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s fundraising efforts for many years, and this year's event was no exception. Generous donations from both golfers and sponsors have contributed towards the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's ongoing mission of conquering cancer.

"We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we received for this year's golf tournament. The funds raised will go a long way in helping us to continue providing vital programs and services to those in need. We couldn't have done it without the help of our Presenting Sponsor, CDK Global, as well as other sponsors, volunteers, and golfers who participated in the event. Thank you all for your generosity and support,” said Carla Cosenzi, President and Co-owner of TommyCar Auto.

The charity golf tournament was held at Twin Hills Country Club.  The tournament featured a raffle, silent and live auction, hole-in-one contests, live music, adding to the excitement and enjoyment of the day.

Sip & Shop With The Gals

A group of over 30 local women-owned businesses joined forces to host this ‘women-supporting-women’ event, called ‘Sip & Shop With The Gals’. Businesses were given the chance to make their presence heard, in an effort to increase their growth and profitability. Carla Cosenzi, the President of TommyCar Auto Group says this was an opportunity to introduce businesses in a different way.

Cosenzi told 22News, “there a lot of small women-owned businesses that maybe don’t have the type of opportunity to get the type of exposure they would need.”

Cosenzi added that inspiring women into becoming their best selves will continue as a tradition through the years to come.

We are so honored to host this event and cannot wait to do it again in the future!

No Shave November

No Shave November is devoted to “growing” cancer awareness while raising funds to support cancer prevention, research, education about cancer prevention, as well as those fighting the battle. It’s a month-long journey in which participants forgo shaving in order to evoke conversations while raising cancer awareness.

We partner with the Hampshire County Sheriff’s department and all the proceeds will go towards the Tom Cosenzi Driving the The Cure which supports Brain Cancer research at Dana Farber in Boston, MA.

Not only does the Sheriff’s get involved, but all our dealerships and staff get involved to participate! We look forward to this every year and is an easy way to get involved.

This year, we raised a total of $8,616.78! Thank you so much the Hampshire Sheiff’s Department, along with our TommyCard Rewards members who donated their points towards No Shave November.

Woman of Impact

One thing I love about the car industry is seeing how it evolves every day. When I first started, there was barely in woman in this industry and now when I look around the dealerships, they’re everywhere. From administration, to marketing, sales, auto body, and so much more. I am proud to say we are woman owned, along with woman ran as well.

BusinessWest has long recognized the contributions of women within the business community and created the Women of Impact awards four years ago to further honor women who have the authority and power to move the needle in their business, are respected for accomplishments within their industries, give back to the community, and are sought out as respected advisors and mentors within their field of influence.

When going to the Women of Impact dinner, I always leave feeling inspired & touched by everyones story. Im honored to be apart of this event and to see the community grow, along with being part of Women Supporting Women.

This year we did a signature cocktail! Every signature cocktail purchased we are donating to one of my favorite charities, Christina’s House in Springfield. Below is a link to learn more about Christina’s House and how you can support them as well!
