Toyota has
announced the finalists in the second annual Toyota 100 Cars for Good
competition, which awards 100 new Toyota vehicles to 100 nonprofit
organizations over 100 days.
The 500 finalists
were evaluated by a panel of independent experts in areas of corporate social
responsibility and philanthropy. They represent a wide range of services,
including animal welfare, education, environment, arts, health, veterans’
affairs and public safety.
Finalists
will be provided with a digital video camera, training toolkit and online
advertising credits courtesy of Toyota, to raise awareness of their
organizations and attract voters to their 100 Cars for Good campaign. Each
finalist will make a video explaining how the new vehicle will help their
community efforts, and the videos will be featured on Toyota’s Facebook page at
www.100carsforgood.com.
Voting for
the winners of Toyota 100 Cars for Good begins May 14 and continues through
August 21. Five organizations will be
featured each day on Toyota’s Facebook page. A winner is chosen each day based
on popular vote, and the four runners-up each day receive a $1,000 grant from
Toyota.
The winning organizations have their
choice of a Camry Hybrid, Highlander SUV, Prius v hybrid, Sienna minivan,
Sienna Mobility or Tundra full-sized pickup, whichever new Toyota they
believe best suits their needs. Toyota Financial Services will also provide a
six-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty will also be provided for each
vehicle.
Toyota of Concord was proud to participate
in last year’s Toyota 100 Cars for Good
contest by presenting new vehicles to two deserving local non-profits. This
year, finalists from North Carolina include A Child’s Place of Charlotte, Adult
Day and Health Care Services in Matthews, Bridge II Sports in Durhan,
MedicForce in Almond, and project hope consulting Inc. in Charlotte. We
congratulate the finalists and encourage you to vote for your favorite worthy
organization.
