Prestige Auto Group Community Outreach Events

Prestige Auto Group Community Outreach Events

During January of 2022, we gathered donations for Sojourner House, a homeless shelter here in Eau Claire. Along with non-perishable contributions from the community, Chippewa Valley Outdoors donated funds and Bohemian Ovens & Restaurant provided Kolaches. We collected over $1,000 in donations, in addition to items such as winter gear, shelf-stable foods, and personal care items.

Veterans’ Tribute Event

While Prestige honors those who have sacrificed for our country year-round, 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. 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.” - Dan Mattoon

Prestige of Art & Community Contest

In the fall of 2021, the Prestige of Art & Community Contest took place here at Prestige. This inaugural event provided 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. All 23 pieces of artwork received were voted upon by the community, receiving a total of almost 700 votes. Artist Marion Lambright received the most votes for his painting, crowning him first-place winner of the contest. All proceeds collected in honor of Marion’s charity of choice, Hope Gospel Mission, were matched by Prestige up to $5,000. Far surpassing this goal, we presented a check to Hope Gospel Mission to support their mission: “To see the lives of the homeless and needy transformed for the glory of God, so they can be the people that God intended them to be. We are not just a shelter. Our goal is to not just help you for today, but for life.”
