Woodcliff
Lake, NJ – August 30, 2010… Today BMW announced Jim
O’Donnell, President of BMW of North America, LLC, will host a
special Teen Driving School on September 7, 2010 at U.S. Cellular
Field in Chicago, Illinois to kick off the 2010 BMW
Championship. The tournament features 70 of the world’s
top professional golfers competing in the third leg of the PGA TOUR
Playoffs for the FedExCup. Group 1 Automotive, owner of 15 BMW
and MINI dealerships nationwide, is partnering with BMW to sponsor the
fundraiser for the Evans Scholars Foundation, which provides full
university tuition and housing grants to deserving young caddies.
Like the BMW Championship, all proceeds from the Teen Driving School will be donated to the Evans Scholars Foundation. The Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana BMW Centers will contribute $3 for every mile driven by participating teens during the event.
Evans Scholars and Chicago area teens will participate in Teen Driving School – BMW’s road safety program designed to help young people learn how to be safer, more informed drivers. A PGA TOUR player will also attend the driving event, during which BMW will launch its “DRIVE IT HOME – DON’T TXT & DRIVE” campaign to build awareness that texting while driving is one of the most dangerous actions a person can do behind the wheel.
The BMW Teen Driving School is a grassroots initiative under the
company’s Corporate Social Responsibility program combining
teens, road safety and local community
outreach. It is a
recent extension of the teen curriculum offered at the BMW Performance
Center located in Spartanburg, SC. Students improve their
driving skills and increase their
road knowledge through
classroom instruction, driver awareness demonstrations and hands-on
driving exercises.
Since BMW became a presenting sponsor of the BMW Championship in
2007, the
BMW Championship has raised a total of $7.3 million for
the Evans Scholars Foundation. BMW also offers a summer
internship program that invites the scholars to work for BMW, offering
them invaluable insight into their future careers after
graduation. At the 2010 BMW Championship, BMW will also continue
its tradition of pledging a four-year Evans Scholarship in honor of
the first player who scores a hole-in-one during the tournament.
