Arlington Nissan cares for those afflicted with Down syndrome, and the Illinois dealership donated $15,900 to the Samuel Floersheimer Foundation on Nov. 2, according to Globe Newswire.
"The foundation educates, advocates and creates jobs that individuals with Down syndrome are entitled to, with equal work and equal pay. We also strive to have lots of fun in the process," Elizabeth Floersheimer, the founder of the Samuel Floersheimer Foundation, told Globe Newswire.
The Samuel Floersheimer Foundation is based in Chicago and raises awareness for how to improve the health and wellness of children and young adults with Down syndrome. Elizabeth Floersheimer is the mother of a young adult with Down syndrome, whom the foundation is named after. Among other things, she has created cooking classes for Samuel and other young adults with special abilities.
The donation was a part of a sales event held during October, where Arlington Nissan donated $100 to the Samuel Floersheimer Foundation for every new or used car purchased or leased at the dealership.
Arlington Nissan is a part of the Rohrman Automotive Group.
