Over the past five years, McCarthy Auto Group has had the thrill of putting on their annual sales race, setting out to sell 2,000 vehicles in two months. As if this isn’t impressive enough, they donate $20,000 of the proceeds to wonderful local organizations! This is one of the many reasons why I love McCarthy Auto Group. They truly care about supporting our community in any way they can. The current sales race is underway, with the dealerships boasting their lowest prices of the year now through August 31st!
This year, the majority of the McCarthy dealerships are supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City during the sales race. McCarthy Toyota of Sedalia is supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri, and McCarthy Chevrolet-Buick-GMC is supporting the Salt Fork YMCA in Marshall! All of these organizations are so well-deserving, and I am so happy to support them all through this exciting time!
The Boys & Girls Clubs simply inspire our youth to live out their dreams. They are the premier, affordable youth development programming organization in Kansas City, working in some of our community’s toughest neighborhoods. This organization allows kids to participate and learn activities that they might not get the opportunity to otherwise–like swimming! Between baseball games, swimming lessons, private tutors, art classes, field trips, and more, the kids involved in the clubs always have something exciting to take part in!
For more than 100 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs have been making futures brighter for kids in our community, in our state, and nationwide. The achievements the Clubs have reached are extensive, and they remain committed to expanding their services to reach more children. Here are some noteworthy achievements:
When I think of summer, I imagine spending warm nights out under the stars, enjoying music, food and good times with friends. I love being able to stay outside as much as possible when the sun goes down and the temperature is just right — no sunscreen needed!
Drive-ins bring together the best of everything about summer, because you can have that late-night cruise and then remain outside for your entire night of entertainment! Some people may thing drive-ins are a thing of the past, but I love the nostalgic feeling they can bring to your night. Whether you’re at a drive-in restaurant or drive-in movie, they just make everything more fun!
I’ve compiled a list of some drive-ins that I hope to visit this summer. They are all within an hour drive of Kansas City and guarantee a fun time. Maybe I’ll see you there!
