GNYADA December 2013 Newsletter

17 GNYADA Members On Track to Reach 1,000 Coats for New York Cares New car dealers make huge charitable contributions to the communities in which they reside throughout the year, but they are especially active during the holiday period. This season, GNYADA and over 50 Association members have teamed up with New York Cares to donate gently-worn coats to their 2014 Coat Drive. The dealers (listed below) all signed up to become collection points for coats. So far, almost 1,000 coats have been collected by these dealers for distribution to those in need. Many thanks to those dealerships that donated space, time, and outerwear to this year’s coat drive. If you would like to sign up as a coat collector to keep New Yorkers warm this winter, contact Jennifer at GNYADA headquarters at 718.746.5900 ext. 235.

18 Rallye Motors Donations to GNYADA Coat Drive Approaching 500

New York Cares and the Greater New York Automobile Dealers care also. GNYADA Treasurer and Board Member Nick Toomey, Vice President of Rallye Motors in Westbury, New York, helped kick-start this year’s coat drive with a donation of 200 coats valued at $20,000, and as of this writing is approaching 500 total donations. Rallye BMW, an official New York Cares coat collection site, is one of many dealer collection sites arranged by GNYADA in partnership with New York Cares to collect coats and help keep New Yorkers warm this winter. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Coat Drive. “We’re honored to be a part of this important cause and to get this most worthwhile event underway,” said Toomey.

Senator Jack Martins and New York Cares' Ed Lada, Senior Director of Finance and Operations, thank Rallye Motors for their generous donation.
