Donalson Auto Group Giving Back: Our Community Involvement

The folks at Donalson Auto Group’s Toyota store care about more than just selling great cars. It’s the people behind the wheel that we truly care about, and that passion for helping people extends beyond the vehicles that get us there. Donalson’s efforts to give back to our community are comprised of our dealership being frequently involved in several charitable activities where we help sponsor local organizations.

DONALSON SPONSORSHIPS INCLUDE:

• Donalson Auto Group works with the Silsbee Education Foundation: providing resources to enrich teaching and inspire life-long learning for students, teachers, and staff at the Silsbee Independent School District. Casino Night 2022 was held at our Chevrolet Buick GMC store for members of our community to come together, have fun, and support a great fundraiser.
• Donalson Auto is proud to hold a food drive at their stores in preparation for each holiday season in sponsorship of the Silsbee Food Pantry. We are committed to responding to the needs of our community with food distribution services and providing access to nutritious meals.
• Donalson Auto Group also does some fun work warming up the holidays in conjunction with Camp Hope: a United States veterans organization out of Houston. This worthy fundraiser allows Donalson dealer principal and owner/managers to attend a dinner and bourbon tasting ceremony, raising money for Camp Hope in the first half of November to kick off the holiday season right with giving.
• Donalson Auto has been involved in Save the Pines Project for the past three years. The Pines is a “locally famous” movie theater that was damaged by hurricanes and unfortunately closed. Donalson Auto Group has sponsored events (movie nights, telethons, etc.) to fundraise for this historic theatre. They’ve done a Halloween Movie Night and a Polar Express Movie Night on Dec. 11th, 2021. Additionally,  Ben Burla, sales at Silsbee Toyota, participates in a telethon fundraiser for the nostalgic Save the Pines effort on the last Tuesday of every November.
• Hogs and Strings Music Festival is another fun fundraiser that Donalson Auto participates in annually. This cultural event is a musical Cook-off benefiting Indian Springs Camp for disabled veterans and children. Indian Springs Camp is a 501 c/3 nonprofit organization that hosts disabled veterans and children, allowing access to the outdoors through hunting, fishing, and camping.
• Beginning in 2023, Donalson Auto Group will be supporting the Friends of the Silsbee Public Library and their mission to raise awareness and money for teen and adult programs benefitting our community. The library serves as a hub for community information and bringing people together. They have several fundraising events throughout the year and help coordinate summer reading programs and other creative activities for the youth.

It is a joy for Donalson Auto Group to give back to the people of Silsbee, Beaumont, Lumberton, Woodville, and other Southeast Texas residents in need.
