The Moffitt Cancer Center was recently given a $62,000 check from AutoNation at Mercedes-Benz of Sarasota.
Similar to the donation to Phoenix Children's Hospital, funds were raised through AutoNation's cash register charity program in which the donation program was in place at all point of purchase terminals. Shoppers were able to donate to the charity by adding an amount to their credit card, 100% of which goes directly to the charity, according to PR Newswire.
Associates at AutoNation stores in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and the local community have also helped in raising the funds for the Moffitt Cancer Center.
"AutoNation Customers and Associates have been generous in raising funds to drive out cancer. We are so proud to support the critical work of Moffitt Cancer Center. We were honored to be the presenting sponsor of Miles for Moffitt for the eighth consecutive year. This year the race was held virtually and as a united community, we raised $62,000," Patrick Terhaar, market president for AutoNation's Tampa Bay, Illinois and Minnesota markets, said.
