Sames Auto Group proudly presented a $20,000 check to Driscoll Children\u2019s Hospital Thursday at\u00a0Sames Ford Corpus Christi, marking the conclusion of its inaugural Drive for Smiles campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The donation represents the full achievement of the campaign goal: 2,000 test drives completed across\u00a0Sames locations during April.<\/p>\n
Through the Drive for Smiles initiative, every test drive generated a $10 donation to\u00a0Driscoll Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n
Customers and community members across Laredo, Corpus Christi,\u00a0McAllen\u00a0and Harlingen showed support throughout the month, helping\u00a0Sames Auto Group reach its goal and make a meaningful impact on children\u2019s health care in South Texas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to have reached our goal and to contribute $20,000 to support the incredible work being done by Driscoll Children\u2019s Hospital,\u201d said Ryan Cain, General Manager of Sames Ford Corpus Christi. \u201cThis campaign is proof of what we can accomplish when businesses and communities come together for a greater cause.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event included remarks from leadership, photo opportunities and a shared moment of pride in community collaboration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis campaign reflects what is possible when communities come together with a shared purpose,\u201d said Jason\u00a0Geiken, Vice President of Development for Driscoll Children\u2019s Hospital. \u201cAcross South Texas, individuals and families showed up in support of children\u2019s health care.

\u201cThese funds will support the Sames Auto Group Critical Care Endowment, which helps sustain Driscoll\u2019s 24\/7 Critical Care Transport Team.\u00a0This team provides mobile ICU capabilities across the region, delivering specialized care during transport and helping critically ill children access the care they need when they need it most.
