BMW of Freeport Blog Drive for a Cause Event

Last year, BMW dealerships nationwide gave Americans the opportunity to support U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams with the rollout of our Drive for Team USA Event. The premise was simple: you come and have a great time test driving the BMW of your choice, BMW dealerships donate money to help the U.S. Olympic/Paralympic teams. What better way to show your support?

Supporting Team USA is still part of this year’s charity drive – the Drive for a Cause Event. But this year, BMW is taking an already-great idea and bringing it closer to home. The premise is pretty much the same: You come test drive the BMW of your choice in August and the dealership donates money. The difference is that BMW dealerships across the country are also sponsoring local charities, adding value and benefit to the communities we serve.

Never one to be left out on an opportunity to do good in our hometown, BMW of Freeport is fully participating in this year’s Drive for a Cause Event. Come test drive any BMW at our Freeport dealership and we will make a donation to a local Freeport charity. When you come test drive a car at BMW of Freeport this August, BMW of North America makes a donation to our Freeport charities.

While we certainly hope the event will help many of you find a fantastic new car, the donations will be made whether you ultimately buy a BMW or not. It’s BMW’s way — and, particularly, BMW of Freeport’s way – of giving back to the community that means so much to us.

BMW has a lofty goal for the event. We hope to raise $1.5 million for American charities. At BMW of Freeport, we believe a significant amount of that money raised can and should be from Freeport. We have a number of worthy charities in the Freeport area and we’re thrilled to partner with you and with them in their work.

To participate in Drive for a Cause, go to the event website to register. Sign up to test drive the BMW of your choice, including:

• 3 Series
• 5 Series
• 7 Series
• X3 SUV
• X5 SUV
• Z4 convertible

The bottom line is that events like this present a win for everyone. The charities certainly benefit. Team USA benefits. Drivers benefit – some from finding the car of their dreams, others from simply having a good time test driving one of today’s most exciting vehicles. It also benefits the dealership, as we forge new relationships with potential customers – both those who will buy now and those who will buy later. After all, we know that once you get behind the wheel of a BMW, it’s hard to settle for anything less.
