HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.—GrooveCar has teamed with NEFCU, a Long Island credit union, and Novak Motors, to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics New York.
Throughout April the mission of the auto sales event is to assist Special Olympics New York in their quest to provide people with disabilities continuing opportunities to realize their potential, GrooveCar said.
“During the auto sales event, credit union members and the public, who are in the market for a pre-owned vehicle are encouraged to visit Novak Motors’ indoor showroom. For every vehicle sold in April, Novak Motors New York and NEFCU will donate $100 to the organization,” GrooveCar said.
“For the past seven years we have proudly been a major supporter of the Special Olympics on Long Island. So, any time we can do even more to assist this phenomenal organization, we’re excited to get on board,” said Eric Budzinski, AVP Marketing, GrooveCar. “This effort with GrooveCar and Novak Motors is a win-win for everyone: the kids, Special Olympics and those looking for a great car."
There is great deal of excitement by all the parties to make this a successful promotion. Credit unions serve members of their community and this was an excellent opportunity to reach out and give back, Budzinski said.
“We were thrilled NEFCU jumped onboard with us. Credit unions are built on community values. This is a perfect opportunity to engage members for a great cause,” Budzinski said.
GrooveCar, a Fusion company, said it will also be looking to promote other charitable organizations in the community.
“Our goal is to hold charity sales events in collaboration with our area credit unions,” said Budzinski. “Promoting auto loans and vehicle buying incentives allows for all the parties to come together for the good of the community. GrooveCar hopes to build excitement for future events of this nature.”
GrooveCar said the sale provides members with financing as they look to get into excellent, late model, off-lease vehicles with low mileage.
“The pre-owned market provides a consistent area of growth for credit unions and members love a good deal on a quality vehicle,” said Jackie Faha, Sales Manager, Novak Motors.
The auto sales event will be punctuated by an autograph signing on April 28. GrooveCar said that credit union members, as well as the public, are invited to Novak Motors (215 Daniel St., Farmingdale, N.Y.) to meet the athletes of Special Olympics New York from 1 p.m.–4 p.m.
