Community Involvement

Back for our second year, Hessert Chevy was proud to participate in 9.81 WOGL Love Our Kids Radiothon at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia! For two days, WOGL sets up their radio station in the atrium at CHOP and interviews patients, families, and staff to hear their stories of courage and hope. Every donation during Radiothon goes to CHOP. Back for our second year, Hessert Chevy sat down with Nicky G to discuss the importance of getting involved in our community and giving back.

Hessert Chevy was a sponsor of this years Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl For Kids Sake event on Sunday, October 20th at Laurels Lanes in Maple Shades. This event was a great celebration to raise funds and highlight the organizations goal to serve more children! The family friendly brought together the Hessert Chevy team, friends, and family to enjoy an afternoon of bowling, games, and treats!

Hessert Chevy teamed up with the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation to provide new winter coats to children from local Philadelphia schools. Buses loaded in hundreds of children from local Schools to the Pennsylvania Convention Center where Hessert Chevy and other local dealers fitted children with brand new winter coats. 1 in 6 children in Philadelphia lives in poverty, without daily essentials like a warm winter coat. In 2019, the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation will donate over 50,000 new coats, bringing their total to over 400,000 coats that the foundation has given away!

 As the new school year began, Hessert Chevy wanted to give back to a local school. Hessert Chevy donated a class set of instruments to the music department at Mayfair Elementary School! One of the first things that is typically affected when making budget cuts in school is the music department, and we feel it's very important to give students the ability to explore their creativity in music. On September 17th, Hessert Chevy teamed up with Entercom radio station, B101 with DJ Mark Shepperd, and the Philly Pops, to bring a day of music to the Philadelphia school! Activities were provided by the local radio station and their mascot, Buzz Bee! Live music was played throughout the event by the Philly Pops. The excitement had over 300 third graders running around the gymnasium all morning!

What better way to celebrate summer than with hot dogs, ice cream, and Chevy's of course! Hessert Chevy celebrated summer with a carnival themed Open House on Saturday, August 10th for our neighbors, friends, and employees! Local radio station, 9.65 TDY brought their team out and had great music playing and there were fun games all day! Wee had great food from J-dogs catering and activities like a face painter, inflatable basketball, and ring toss!

Hessert Chevy had a blast at their first ever parade, The Philly Pride Parade on June 9th! Hessert Chevy transformed a Camaro into one big rainbow convertible! We teamed up with Philly radio station 9.65 TDY and had Coop & Casey from their hit morning show, Coop & Casey, ride in style and waive rainbow flags as they paraded down Locust Street to Penn's Landing!

Hessert Chevy is proud to have partnered with the Sandy Sprint this April. The Sandy Spring is a 5k/10k canine sprint hosted by the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Center to raise awareness and support for Ovarian Cancer. The event was held on a beautiful morning outside the Philadelphia Art Museum, in front of the famous Rocky Steps! It was a beautiful day outside where friends, families, and adorable puppies came out to support a great cause!

Chevy Youth Sports connected Hessert Chevy with local Youth sports team, the Holy Terrors! The Hessert team was honored by throwing out the first pitch at their opening day at a Baseball field in Mayfair! The festivities included a DJ, delicious snacks including local favorite Factory Donuts,  a bounce house, and of course, tons of Baseball games! It was a great day for Baseball and to get to know our community!
