Donald Willis Blakesley Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament

/

We are thrilled to announce that we proudly sponsored the Donald Willis Blakesley Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament this year! Not only did we support a wonderful cause, but we also had a special surprise for all the golf enthusiasts out there.

 

Introducing the Genesis Hole-in-One Challenge! Participants had a chance to win big by sinking an incredible hole-in-one shot. One lucky golfer had the opportunity to drive away in a brand-new Genesis vehicle!

 

This event was an amazing opportunity for us to honor the memory of Donald Willis Blakesley while contributing to the education of deserving students through the scholarship fund. We firmly believe in the power of education and are committed to supporting bright minds in their pursuit of excellence.

 

A huge shout-out to all the participants, volunteers, and organizers who made this tournament a resounding success. Your dedication and support are truly remarkable!

Surprise Squad honors Springfield janitor who has lasting impact on students

The Hyundai Dealers Surprise Squad is back in a big way. This month, we are celebrating a team member from the Alice Beal Elementary School in Springfield who keeps the school clean, kids safe, and has a lasting impact on the students.

“It’s not an easy job and he does it with a smile on his face,” said Alice Beal Elementary School Principal Kate Fancy.

Fancy told Western Mass News that Curtis Williams, the school’s janitor, has the unique ability to brighten everyone’s day.

“He is the first one outside greeting students, keeping them safe during traffic duty. It’s not only the students, but it’s the parents too,” Fancy added.

One of those parents, Maria Martinez, said Williams has a had a major impact on her daughter’s school experience and her life.

“He is so kind, so caring with us. He keeps the school clean and he has a big smile when he arrives to the school,” Martinez said.

“He’s a friend and he’s a good person,” added fifth grader Gia Milford.

Because Williams does so much for the students and the school, we decided to do something special for him.

“There’s nothing like seeing the children smile and that they want to come to school every day. This is awesome, just awesome,” Williams said.

“Congrats. On behalf of the Western Mass. Hyundai Dealers, we are going to donate $500 to the school in your name for you to use as you see fit,” said Mike Paquette, general sales manager at Country Hyundai.
