(prHWY.com) July 27, 2011 - Waukegan, IL -- Besides recovering from the negative media exposure over the last couple of years, Toyota has remained dedicated to coming up with new ways to inspire others in helping the community. Consumers shopping for a Corolla in Waukegan will be happy to learn that Toyota announced the next 25 winners of the "Toyota 100 Cars for Good Program." Sales team members at Gurnee dealerships are proud to work for a company with such altruistic marketing efforts.
Toyota's "100 Cars for Good" program resembles its "Ideas for Good" program in many ways. Each day, profiles of five nonprofit organizations are shown on Toyota's Facebook page, where voters get a chance to choose a winner to receive a new Toyota vehicle. Corolla shoppers need not worry about the finalists - they get a $1,000 grant for "competing." This process will continue through August 16th, for a total of 100 vehicles.
Organizations considered for the program spanned several categories such as animal welfare, health and safety, human services, and support for veterans. Voters fell in love with the finalists' profiles who shared worthy causes such as helping those with disabilities and providing support for women who are pregnant and homeless. Toyota did too, and was more than happy to help these organizations further accomplish their missions by granting a new vehicle.
Jim Lentz, President of Toyota Motor Sales, expresses his appreciation for nonprofits: "The selected winners not only provide significant services, but also inspire by showing what is possible when we put others' needs before our own. We congratulate our second set of 25 winners and wish the remaining finalists the best of luck." Sales team members at Gurnee dealerships like Classic Toyota share Lentz's pride and are happy to see the Japanese automaker contribute in such a useful way.
For more information about the program's winners, interested consumers and Toyota fans can visit Toyota's Facebook page or consult a sales representative at their favorite Toyota dealer.
