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!

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!
