Prestige Auto in the Community
Boys & Girls Club of the Greater Chippewa Valley
The local Boys & Girls Club offers a place for kids to play, learn, and make friends. In addition to donations, we take part in multiple events throughout the year to show our support.
Junior Achievement of Wisconsin
Each year we're a major sponsor of their annual golf outing, helping Junior Achievement in their mission to teach the younger generation about business.
St. Mark Lutheran Church & School
We partner with the St. Mark School and Church by hosting an annual test-drive event to help raise money for the school.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin
We sponsor an annual bowling event, supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters in their cause to pair mentors with children who need guidance.
Chippewa Valley Free Clinic
Everyone deserves access to affordable healthcare, which is why we donate money to the Chippewa Valley Free Clinic, which helps fund lower-income community members who have no access to healthcare.
Good Grads Giveaway
Each year we give away a free car to one lucky high school graduate in our area. Check out the Prestige Auto Facebook page for event details.
The Community Table
Our support also extends to The Community Table, which has been providing proper nourishment to community members in need since 1903.
Flying Eagles Ski Club
We give back to the Eau Claire Flying Eagles Ski Club, a non-profit organization set up to promote recreational and competitive skiing at all levels in the Chippewa Valley.

Lemonade Day
In collaboration with the Boys & Girls Club of the Greater Chippewa Valley, Lemonade Day offers kids at the club an opportunity to become entrepreneurs -- learning about marketing, financial literacy, customer service, and more.
Grad's Good Choice
Each Spring at our Grad's Good Choice Grand Prize Party, we invite 100 graduates from local area high schools to give them a chance to win either ownership of a pre-owned vehicle or a one-year lease of a new vehicle.
Donation to Local Veteran Groups
We're proud to contribute $100 to several veteran organizations throughout the Chippewa Valley for every car, new or used, that we sell during the month of July. Over the years, we've donated more than $150,000. It's our way of demonstrating our commitment to supporting local veterans and making a positive impact in the area.
Veterans Tribute Event
We come together every summer for a day to honor, recognize and give back to those who have served. "We started this in 2014 -- helping the veterans here in the Chippewa Valley," said Dan Mattoon, a team member at Prestige Auto. "There are always a lot of needs for the veterans, and we are so blessed to be able to give back to the veteran community here in town."
Prestige of Art & Community Contest
Each fall, we host the Prestige of Art & Community Contest, which provides an opportunity for artists of all ages and walks of life to showcase their skills and have the chance to win a cash prize, all while helping the community. The public votes on each artist's submission, and all proceeds collected in honor of the first-place winner's local charity of choice are matched by Prestige Auto up to $5,000.
Holiday Food Drive
Working with the Feed My People Food Bank, we helped collect food to be donated to individuals in need. This tradition began in December 2021, where we worked to collect 268 pounds of contributions for the organization.
Junior Achievement
Each summer, we sponsor a large annual golf outing, with proceeds going to Junior Achievement of Wisconsin. This golf event is recognized as the organization's largest of the year, bringing together groups from neighboring businesses to take part in an 18-hole scramble.
Bowl for Kids' Sake
In partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, we take part in the Bowl for Kids' Sake. This signature fundraiser event raises over $20 million annually for children in need across the country, including right here in Eau Claire.
