Celebrating $10 Million in Charitable Grants
In October 2011, The CarMax Foundation kicked off a year-long celebration after surpassing the milestone of $10 million in charitable grants since the inception of The CarMax Foundation in 2003.
In honor of this achievement, The CarMax Foundation is doubling all Volunteer Team-Builder grants from $500 to $1,000 for any Associate groups participating in charity walks or runs during the next twelve months! The Volunteer Team-Builder program allows associate groups of five or more to volunteer with local non-profits of their choice. The doubling of these donations will run from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012.
“Reaching the $10 million milestone is a great achievement, as we continue to support wonderful organizations that are important to our associates and make positive impacts in our communities,” said Lynn Mussatt, president of The CarMax Foundation and Vice President of Business Operations. “CarMax teams are regularly participating in charity walks and run events across the country. We expect the doubled team-builder grant will be an opportunity for The CarMax Foundation to give back in a big way to organizations important to our associates.”
