Margarita Madness by the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce
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!
TommyCar Auto Group a Gold Sponsor for Hadley Schools

Hadley – Carla Cosenzi, president of TommyCar Auto Group, was a “gold sponsor” for the Helping Hearts for Hadley Schools second annual road race April 6 at Hadley Elementary School.
Three of the auto group’s four dealerships – Country Nissan of Hadley, Northampton Volkswagen, and Country Hyundai of Northampton – sponsored the event. This is the second year the dealerships have contributed to the event.
More than 600 runners and walkers registered. And with the $2,500 matching funds from TommyCar Auto Group, proceeds are expected to exceed $10,000.
Spreading a Spirit of Gratefulness through Toys for Tots
/
This Holiday season, the Country Nissan, Patriot Buick GMC, and Country Hyundai showrooms were home to huge trucks with a big Toys for Tots box sitting in the back. The Service Departments offered discounts on vehicle maintenance to anyone willing to bring in a gift for the toy drive. Thanks to the response and generous support of community members, Toys for Tots received not only a box full of toys, but a toy-filled back of the truck! These toys were collected by the organization and delivered to in-need children.
Toys for Tots was founded in 1947 by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. The purpose of the organization is to provide toys for children whose parents cannot afford Christmas gifts for them. As a result, kids who would otherwise be without the anticipation and joy of gifts are able to share in this Christmas tradition.
TommyCar Auto Walks with Monte to Fight Hunger
/
During the month of November, Country Nissan and Country Hyundai became involved in the fight to eradicate hunger by helping to raise support and awareness for the annual "Monte's March" and for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. During the march, Monte pushed a shopping cart the length of a marathon race, all the way from Northampton to Greenfield, collecting cans of food and monetary donations along the way. Carla and staff members from Country Nissan and Country Hyundai marched alongside Monte for a portion of Route 9 to assist the effort to raise awareness to passing cars. Carla also donated pace cars for the occasion; they followed Monte the entirety of the trip and supplied bottled water for thirsty marchers. In addition to walking with Monte, Country Nissan and Country Hyundai advertised the need for both funds and non-perishable food items, which the community graciously responded to.
The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has been a great source of comfort and provision for the hunger-stricken community. In addition to providing food for those under financial stress, the Food Bank has also been there to offer help to victims struggling from natural disasters, like the most recent tornado, the October snow storm, and Hurricane Irene.
Country Nissan, Country Hyundai, and the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts together were able to raise $20,000 during Monte's March. Thank you to everyone who supported either with donations or by strolling alongside Monte!
