Habitat for Humanity Launches its Car Donation Program
(PRWEB) March 20, 2006 — Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (www.habitatla.org) is pleased to welcome a new partner joining its mission to eliminate poverty housing in the community. Audi of Downtown L.A. is the first auto dealer in Los Angeles to partner with Habitat for Humanity and Cars for Homes™, the auto donation branch of Habitat for Humanity. On March 23, 2006 Audi of Downtown L.A. will host a kick off event at its new facility located at the corner of Washington and Figueroa during which they will present a $5,000 check to Habitat for Humanity to help build / revitalize a home a few miles from its new dealership. The Reyes Family, who will build their home in partnership with Habitat and Audi, will be on hand to join Audi executives and employees in the celebration.
Audi of Downtown L.A. and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles created this partnership to raise awareness for Habitat for Humanity’s new car donation program Cars for Homes ™ (www.carsforhomes.org), which generates revenue to build homes for Los Angeles families in need. Audi of Downtown L.A. also has a long-standing commitment to supporting the revitalization of the community. Audi’s partnership will include the initial cash donation of $5,000 plus proceeds from every vehicle sold between March 23rd and April 23rd. In addition, Audi is donating a brand new 2006 Audi A3, which will be raffled off at the organization’s annual golf tournament hosted by Fannie Mae in September. Tickets are available for $100 each until August 31, 2006 at www.habitatla.org.
