Every single time we think there are no new forms of community partnership, engagement, or support to cover, we hear about something that surprises and delights us. Ricart Automotive emailed to share two amazing stories from their corner of Ohio, and we were immediately ready to share.
Back-to-School. In conjunction with ABC6 in Columbus, Ricart hosted a backpack drive to support Home for Families in assisting vulnerable children as they return to school for the year. The dealer group received more than 200 backpacks and 1,300 supply donations 🎒🏫.
Steer Show. Rick Ricart participated in the Dean's Charity Steer Show at the Ohio State Fair. The event supported the local Ronald McDonald House, which, among other things, provides nearby lodging for parents whose children are undergoing medical treatments. The combined efforts of The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, local media personalities, celebrity exhibitors, 4-H youth, and of course, their steers raised an outstanding $240k for the charity. 🤠🐮
