Park Place Season of Giving
For the fourth consecutive year, Park Place Dealerships is giving away a total of $100,000 in grants through its “Season of Giving” campaign to nonprofits making a positive impact in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth community. Eligible organizations that align with the company’s pillars of giving — the arts, education, advocacy and medical research — are invited to apply at ParkPlaceCares.com through Oct. 25, 2024. Recipients will be announced the week of Nov. 18, 2024.
“Through the ‘Season of Giving,’ we provide grants to local organizations that align with our four pillars of giving,” says Tony Carimi, Managing Director of Park Place Dealerships, via a press release. “Season of Giving goes beyond providing critical funds. Our members at Park Place are deeply involved, volunteering their time and talents year-round. It’s incredible to witness the ripple effect of their dedication, as our team’s creativity and passion help make an even larger impact across our community.”
Last year, the campaign generated more than 400 applicants, of whom 18 were selected to receive a one-time end-of-year grant ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. Since 2021, Park Place Dealerships has awarded a total of $300,000 to 65 charities across North Texas that are making a real difference in our communities.
Beyond financial contributions, Park Place and its 1,400 employees also look for additional opportunities to support nonprofits through hands-on volunteering.
Last year, the Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas benefited from their additional support. Park Place members helped the organization send care packages to U.S. military troops serving abroad by spending the day packing basic toiletries, socks, snacks, candy and letters for American soldiers.
“We have built strong relationships with many incredible nonprofits that continue to make an impact on the world,” says Park Place Dealership’s Marketing Manager Kara Connor. “We are really excited to meet this year’s ‘Season of Giving’ recipients and explore how we can collaborate to help them achieve their goals moving forward.”
