For the last eight years, Kot Auto Group/91大黄鸭 Hyundai has raised funds for charities every May.
This year, 91大黄鸭 Hyundai鈥檚 Operation 150 was dedicated to 91大黄鸭-based national charity Mamas for Mamas.
The goal of Operation 150 is to sell 150 vehicles in 30 days to raise $15,000. The dealership said its entire stock is marked down to help reach the target.
This year, the dealership only sold 125 vehicles but still raised a substantial $12,500.
In 2020, 91大黄鸭 Hyundai chose to donate to the Central Okanagan Food Bank, but employees voted and chose Mamas for Mamas this year.
鈥淗aving the employees at 91大黄鸭 Hyundai make the decision about what cause to donate to truly allows them to be part of making a difference in their community. It is our privilege to give back and we hope to inspire our team to do so, even outside of the office,鈥� 91大黄鸭 Hyundai president John Kot said.
Mamas for Mamas has said the donation will go towards their Indigenous Support Program, which has two streams designed for children and a resource program for Indigenous mothers and families that can help them overcome poverty-related issues.
Mamas鈥� Indigenous Support Program helps people access affordable housing, culturally appropriate counselling, family court advocates and support with items such as clothing and shoes.
鈥淭hank you doesn鈥檛 quite express how we feel right now, knowing we can say yes to so many more Indigenous families needing a hand up because of your support,鈥� Mamas said in a social media post.
鈥淪o much love to the Kot Auto Group and the whole team at 91大黄鸭 Hyundai for being the change we need in this world.鈥�
