If the award-winning models on our lineup are any indication, our parent automaker gives us a lot to be proud of here at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Avondale. Then again, our lineup is only part of it.
Three years ago, the brass at Chrysler teamed up with Winning Futures for a partnership that would impact the lives of Michigan youth in ways neither party could have imagined. For those unfamiliar, Winning Futures is a non-profit organization that has been providing mentoring opportunities and awarding over $1.7M in scholarships to young men and women on their paths to success since 1994. Of the 30,000 youth that they've impacted, 95% have continued their education past high school.
Today, there are over 20 Chrysler employees serving as mentors to these students, a number that is steadily growing. Not only that, but The Chrysler Foundation recently awarded Winning Futures with a $65,000 grant for all their hard work. Needless to say, contributions like these go a long way for the young minds they're helping.
"Winning Futures' goal is to empower today's youth for a successful future by developing skills which can be used throughout their lives," says Kristina Marshall, President and CEO of Winning Futures. "To have Chrysler make such a large investment in our youth speaks volumes not only to our students and mentors, but to the community as a whole."1
If you'd like to learn more about how Chrysler is giving back, we'd be he happy to fill you in at our dealership here in Avondale, AZ, just outside of Phoenix. Or if you'd rather take a spin in these award-winning models (like the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee), your test drive awaits today. Like we said, there's a lot to be proud of.
