Thank You For The Support!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Dove, Inc. fundraiser a success! Dealership guests enjoyed a BBQ lunch and live music from Bellflower duo, Me-N-Him. Volunteers from the dealership and Dove, Inc. spent the afternoon preparing sandwiches, visiting with guests, and spreading the word about the benefits of the Dove organization. It was a great way to kick off the Memorial Day weekend! 

Owner, Scott Baum, presents a donation check to Dove, Inc. staff members

Because of your generosity, we were able to donate over $2,100 to Dove! We truly appreciate the services that Dove provides to our community and the numerous volunteers who make it possible.

DOVE, Inc. Fundraiser

On Friday, May 23, the dealership will host a cook out to help raise funds for Dove, Inc., a non-profit organization that provides support to local victims of domestic violence. The organization also serves as a food pantry, a source for emergency funds, and a volunteer network for retired and senior citizens in DeWitt county. To keep its programs running efficiently, Dove, Inc. needs to raise $120,000 this year.

In order to help the organization get closer to its fund raising goal, the dealership staff will provide lunch to the public from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm. There is no cost for the lunch, but we do ask those who attend to consider making a donation to help support Dove, Inc. We will also be raffling off two autographed copies of Howard Buffet's new book, “40 Chances” to raise additional funds. Bellflower musical duo, ME-N-HIM, will be performing live throughout the afternoon.

We encourage everyone to stop by the dealership and enjoy a great meal for a great cause. The event will be held rain or shine! For more information please contact the dealership at 217-935-3156. To learn more about Dove, Inc. and the services it provides, please visit http://www.doveinc.org/.
