Toyota gives away 75 free cars; 25 still to go
Each daily winner will be awarded a new Toyota vehicle to help the organizations continue to do “good” in their communities. The remaining finalists will each receive $1,000 grants from the Japanese carmaker. Toyota Financial Services adds a six-year, 100,000 mile Toyota Vehicle Service Agreement to give winners extended protection beyond the vehicle warranty.
"The selected winners not only provide significant services, but also inspire by showing what is possible when we put others’ needs before our own," said Jim Lentz, president of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. Inc. "We congratulate our ... winners and wish the remaining finalists the best of luck."
The third set of 25 winners spans several categories that include animal welfare, human services and protecting people from abuse. All are worthy causes shared with the public on their Facebook profiles.
Public voting for the 100 Cars for Good program opened May 9 and continues through Aug. 16. Winning organizations can choose to receive a Prius (pictured), Tacoma, Tundra, Highlander Hybrid, Sienna or Sienna Mobility.
