Prestige Imports Community Activities

Prestige Imports is heavily involved in charitable events throughout Colorado. Here are just a few of the great events we have coming up in the next few weeks…

The Ride To The Corners to benefit The Action Center

Retired Prestige Imports General Manager Don Adis, accompanied by Stuart Boulter and Ted Graham will be riding their motorcycles nearly 9000 miles in 21 days as a fundraiser for The Action Center, a human-services nonprofit in Lakewood whose mission is to provide an immediate response to basic human needs and promote pathways to self-sufficiency.

Starting on September 20th, the journey will take our intrepid motorcycle riders to all four corners of the Unites States, from Blaine, WA, to San Ysidro, CA, to Key West, FL, to the bustling metropolis of Madawaska, ME, and back to Lakewood, CO.

As the primary sponsor for this benefit ride, we have set up a website where you can keep track of the riders’ progress, learn more about The Action Center, and donate to the cause – www.ridetothecorners.org.

We are looking forward to kicking off the fundraising and the journey, but we could definitely use your help. Be sure to visit the donation page and give what you can. Also, we could use some assistance with publicity. Spread the word about this journey, and the cause – put it out on your Blogs, your Twitter streams, your Facebook pages. Every new visitor to the site is an opportunity to help The Action Center.

The Ride to the Corners is scheduled to end back here at Prestige Imports the afternoon of October 11, just in time for our annual Oktoberfest – more details to come…
