Woodcliff Lake, NJ – May 24, 2016… BMW of North America today announced the launch of “Drive for a Cause” – a national fundraising campaign that will generate charitable support for each BMW test drive taken this summer. Building on the past year’s successful “Drive for Team USA” event, which supports U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes, the new campaign will also give dealers the option of designating a local charity in their market as the charitable recipient.
Starting May 24th and running through September, the automaker’s retailers nationwide will host events inviting existing and potential customers to test drive the BMW vehicle of their choosing. For each test drive taken, BMW of North America will donate funds to Team USA or a local charity. Funds raised will go towards supporting the training and performance goals of Team USA, and to making a difference in local communities.
“‘Drive for a Cause’ is more than a summer sales initiative – it’s a meaningful part of what we do to support Team USA and other important local charitable endeavors,” said Trudy Hardy, Vice President, Marketing, BMW of North America. “Any time you can get people behind the wheel of a BMW while simultaneously generating attention and raising money for worthy charities, it’s a win-win.”
