Meet Tami. She’s raising two children on her own, one of them with special needs. Her car was recently T-boned, and she found herself in the position of being unable to replace it. BPM Inc. was able to locate a 1996 Honda Accord and provide her with a reliable vehicle to keep her family safely on the road.
What seems like a routine donation on its face, is actually a look into the future of the impact that we’ll be able to have on families in need. Pictured just to the right of Tami is a gentleman named Mark Cooley. Mark is with the Lincoln Auto Auction and works with dealers from all over the area on a regular basis. He recently had the opportunity to hear more about what we’re doing with BPM Inc. and our efforts to impact families in need by donating reliable vehicles. Mark was inspired by the vision and immediately recognized his own business’s unique position to broaden the impact.
Mark committed to donate one car per month to the BPM Inc. donation pipeline. That will allow us to more than double the amount of cars that we give away to people like Tami! The ripple effect of this is huge. Not only are we now able to donate more vehicles to people in need, but we can begin to utilize 501c3 funds that were wrapped up in acquiring vehicles for other BPM Inc. initiatives.
Being part of the Anderson Team means you are truly having a unique impact. Mark works with all kinds of dealers everyday, and Anderson’s Mission stood out amongst them all. A unique and powerful partnership is now the result, and your contribution as part of the Team makes this kind of story possible.
Exciting stuff!
Fasten your seat-belts AAG team members cause we are going for a ride on the car donation thing. I predict in the near months we will be giving cars away in all markets on a regular basis. We have a pipeline started now with potential of 1-2 cars incoming per month. I just heard a few minutes ago that there is another potential partnership brewing in the community that could produce a few more incoming vehicles. We are finding out when you simply “ask” people if they want to use their resources to participate in partnership there is interest. Talk with Mike Heller next time you see him and find out what the latest is on this endeavor. He facilitates most of these partnerships. All AAG team members are a part of what is unfolding and it is BIG! You are making a difference people!
