DENVER, Sept. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Groove Auto, is proud to announce its September grant donation of $74,500 awarded on behalf of its “Drive for Education” (DFE) program. The program, in its tenth year, uses proceeds from area car sales to fund grants awarded to neighboring schools. Everyone from principals to teachers and parents can apply for DFE grants to fund supplies and programs for their school of choice. This year’s 34 grants were awarded to fund everything from scholarship programs, iPads, books, instrument, unique learning spaces and programs for special needs students.
This year we had special guest Colton Underwood at our event to announce our partnership with Colton Underwood’s Legacy Foundation. Colton’s foundation works towards empowering people living with Cystic Fibrosis by providing resources and support to help them manage their treatment. Groove Auto donated a vehicle to support the foundation’s upcoming raffle to “Win Colton’s Jeep.” For more information, visit www.wincoltonsjeep.com
We were also proud to use this event as opportunity to present Folds of Honor with $18,500 in scholarship funding raised during our Memorial Day sales event. Folds of Honor provides scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen and disabled servicemembers. This donation will directly impact students right here in Colorado.
Since its inception in 2009, the DFE program has contributed nearly $600,000 to Denver-area schools. For more information on applying for a DFE grant, please visit: www.grooveauto.com/Drive-for-Education-Application.html
