Manheim Toronto recently showed its support of the Toronto Foundation’s #TorontoStrong Fund after hosting a large auction featuring 2,500 cars in May.
The move was done on behalf of parent company Cox Automotive Canada, and managed to sell a record number of vehicles with $5.00 per unit set aside as a donation for the Toronto Foundation. The organization aims to offer crisis and emotional support, and practical assistance to individuals impacted by the tragic event that occurred on April 23 in the Yonge and Finch street area, and which resulted in the death of 10 people.
“Our goal, from the very beginning, was to find the best way to assist victims and survivors with the cost of emergency expenses, trauma counselling, and more,” said Ken Morin, General Manager of Manheim Toronto. “We recognize just how essential it is to help during a time like this, and we knew that this week’s Mega Sale would provide us with the best opportunity to do so.”
Manheim Toronto donated more than $8,000 to the #TorontoStrong Fund.
“The passion we have for our communities is something that consistently guides our diligence in offering support,” said Maria Soklis, President of Cox Automotive Canada. “Donations have poured in from people and organizations from around the world, and we wanted to do our part.”
