Mazda Logo

The holiday season is all about spending time with family and giving back to the people who mean the most to us. It’s filled with exciting traditions that bring people together in good spirits. One of the most time honored traditions is the yearly lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, which is broadcast across the nation by NBC. Mazda also hosts a wonderful charity event that culminates on this night, called the Drive For Good contest, and revealed the winner this year on the Christmas in Rockefeller Center special.

 

The Drive For Good charity event started November 21st and will run until January 3rd, raising money and community service time for organizations that need the assistance. Every test drive of a new Mazda6 at a Salinas used car dealership like Cardinale Mazda means an hour of time that Mazda will spend volunteering at local homeless shelters or soup kitchens in order to make the holidays great for everyone. Also, Mazda is donating a sum for every car purchased or leased to food banks and charities so they can help those in need. Mazda has raised almost $15 million since the program’s beginning, along with over 200,000 hours of service.

 

The other big part of the #DriveForGood event is the winner of the charity spotlight, which is revealed during the lighting of the Christmas tree. For months people gave nominations and suggestions as to which nonprofit is making the biggest impact in its surrounding communities. This year, the winner was My Block, My Hood, My City, a Chicago based charity working hard to empower under-resourced youths by expanding their worldview.

 

Every test drive, vehicle purchase and lease at Cardinale Mazda can help make a difference in peoples’ lives, so come try any car from the new 2017 lineup like the Miata. You can also find us on the web at www.cardinalemazda.com.
