Follow on Google News | Conicelli dealerships to help Driving Away the Cold charity with new winter coats for needy kidsThe Conicelli dealerships in the Philadelphia suburbs of Conshohocken and Springfield, Pa. are gearing up for another September of donating new winter coats for needy local kids. Over 1500 new winter coats were donated by the dealerships in 2012.
In 2012, the Conicelli dealerships donated over 1,500 new winter coats to the program out of a total of over 10,000 donated by local dealerships. Among the organizations receiving coats last year were: 648 coats to Carson Valley Children's Aid; 252 coats to Bright Hope Baptist Church; 54 coats to Missionary of Charity; and 198 coats to Frederick Douglass School/World Impact. In October the Auto Dealers Caring for Kids Foundation hosted a massive special day of giving at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where 5,750 brand-new winter coats were distributed to students from about 15 elementary schools in the Philadelphia School District. "In 2011, approximately 80 percent of the students enrolled in the Philadelphia School District were economically disadvantaged," In just five years, the program has given the gift of a new winter coat to nearly 109,000 children - that totals more than $1.6 million in giving. This will be the sixth year in a row that the Conicelli dealerships have eagerly participated in the program, and hopes are high that the donations this year will continue the pace of growth seen in the past.
