UVa Community Credit Union’s Mega Mile Auto Event Supports Local Non-Profits
Last April, The University of Virginia Community Credit Union teamed up with four local auto dealers for its semi-annual auto sales event at the John Paul Jones Arena. With 1000 cars available for sale, this year’s event was even larger than last year’s. A portion of the proceeds from The Mega Mile Auto Event were earmarked to support the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank & United Way -Thomas Jefferson Area.
“Through the generosity of UVA Community Credit Union and four local car dealers, this donation, from the proceeds of the Mega Mile Auto Event, will enable us to provide more resources in our impact areas: School Readiness, Self-Sufficiency and Community Health,” says Cathy Train, President of the United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area. “Our goal is for our children to arrive at school ready to learn, individuals and families to gain the tools needed for self-sufficiency, and accessible health and wellness for all members of our community.”
“This donation will provide 6,000 meals for hungry families,” said Larry Zippin, President of Blue Ridge Area Food Bank as he accepted the donation.
