💛 Fueling the Fight Against Pediatric Cancer
Compassion drives Carter Myers Automotive (CMA) beyond the showroom, especially when it comes to supporting children and families in need.
In honor of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month this September, CMA launched their Fuel the Fight 2025 initiative across all eight markets. Customers joined the cause by rounding up their service tickets, while each CMA store donated a designated amount per car sold.
Together, they raised an incredible $43,316.50 to support pediatric cancer programs and the families who rely on them. 💛🎗️
This powerful donation helps provide travel assistance, vehicle repairs, and other essential resources to families served by:
🏥 UVA Children’s Hospital
🎗️ ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation
💛 WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital
💙 Children’s Hospital of Richmond
🚘 ACS Road to Recovery
CMA’s commitment proves once again that when they show up, they show up BIG: fueling hope and driving change for children and families across their communities. 🙌
