Aside from the new car smell and the thrill of driving off the lot for the first time, customers at Maple Ridge Chrysler will also be taking home something else: knowing they’ve helped a soul in need. That’s because all November long, Maple Ridge Chrysler will contribute $100 from every new and used vehicle sold and donate it to Union Gospel Mission. Ian Speckman, Dealer Principal at Maple Ridge Chrysler explains why he chose to get involved with this unique approach.
"We have a responsibility to give back to our communities and who better than to those who are less fortunate." - Ian Speckman, Maple Ridge Chrysler
“We have a responsibility to give back to our communities and who better than to those who are less fortunate.”
Ranked No. 1 in British Columbia and No. 4 in Canada, Mr. Speckman is hopeful this initiative will raise up to $25,000 for UGM as we head into our season of greatest need. In an effort to further support this campaign, Maple Ridge Chrysler is also raising awareness of UGM in its radio ads which are currently airing on 99.3 The Fox, AM 730 All Traffic, CKNW 980AM and ROCK 101 as they encourage potential customers to help join the cause.
