Hendrick Automotive Group is not an organization to brag about it's many contributions to the community. I'm sharing what follows, simply as an example of the fact that some big companies do pitch in locally to help their own. Honda Cars of Bradenton is one of two dealerships that are part of the Hendrick organization here in Florida. We're proud to be associated with the Hendrick Organization! And proud of what they've recently done for a local school district near our Corporate Headquarters.
Earlier this month Hendrick Automotive Group agreed to a $250,000 dollar sponsorship program that will allow Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to offer a complete program of middle school sports for the 2011-2011 academic year. The District was facing, due to budget cuts, an extreme reduction to the number of middle school sports being offerred.
The Hendrick sponsorship, combined with a contribution fram an unidentified donor, provides the remaing amount necessary to fund the full lineup of 13 sports at all 32 middle schools for more than 6,500 students participating in athletics across that school district. This is awesome. Can't imagine not having sports programs throughout middle school when I was a kid!
