Loaves & Fishes Community Pantry, 360 Youth Services, and The Education Center could each earn $10,000 through an online voting campaign. Mercedes-Benz of Naperville, an AutoNation dealership, has entered the three charities they support throughout the year as the “Naperville Community Care Program” in the AutoNation Culture of Caring national contest. As part of the year-long celebration of AutoNation’s 15th anniversary, the company is awarding cash prizes to charities supported by selected dealerships. Mercedes-Benz of Naperville was one of the dealerships chosen to participate in the contest. The top three vote-getters will win from $15,000 to $30,000, so each Naperville Community Care Program charity could potentially receive either $5,000 or $10,000 if it finishes in one of the top three slots. Half of the voting tally will come from AutoNation senior management and half will come from online voters through this website. Voting is simple: visit http://cultureofcaringcontest.com/voting-page/ and locate “Naperville Community Care Program“ at the bottom of the list. Click and be counted. Frequent votes are encouraged throughout the process. For more information, visit http://cultureofcaringcontest.com/.
