FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Garber Buick Drive Your Community Scholarship Program giving away $20K to the community
Starting this June, Garber Buick will award scholarships annually to students who emphasize community service before high school graduation.
SAGINAW – Garber Buick is awarding $20,000 to students K-12 who show exemplary community involvement with the new Drive Your Community Scholarship Program. Proposed as an annual event, there will be guaranteed winners in elementary, middle and high school grade levels with 10 students earning $2,000 each to put towards college, university or trade school education. Students of all ages are invited to create a video showing what they do for community involvement and telling why community service is important to them. Winners will be announced on June 27, 2016.
Any student currently in kindergarten up to 12th grade within 40 miles of the Garber Buick dealership is encouraged to apply. Winners will receive their scholarship when they enroll in college, university, or in trade school, and until then the Saginaw Community Foundation will hold the money in their name. There is no GPA requirement, students must only graduate and show their community service creatively with a 1-3 minute video.
“We are only as strong as our community,” says Rich Perdue, general manager of Garber Buick Dealership on State Street in Saginaw. “We strive to live up to ‘The Great Lakes Bay Region does Better at Garber!’ motto and take it beyond just the car buying process. It’s about instilling activism in our young people, the future building blocks of our community, and making sure they’ll love this community as much as we have.”
The Garber Buick Drive Your Community Scholarship Program rewards community service and promotes giving back to your community at any age. No act of service is too small to make an impact on the Great Lakes Bay Region. Since 1907, Garber Buick has been dedicated to making this region a better place to live, work and play.
