Doenges Family of Autos Announce Winning Non-Profit from Their Anniversary Celebration
written by Tom Davis (taken from the KWON website)
Doenges Family of Autos celebrated their 82nd anniversary throughout April, and they’ve been sharing the celebration with the Bartlesville community by contributing to local non-profits.
Appearing on CAR TALK on KWON, Brad Doenges with the Doenges Family of Autos explained that throughout the month of April each time someone had purchased a new Ford or pre-owned vehicle from Doenges Family of Autos, the purchaser selected a non-profit that will receive a $100 donation in their name. The organization that is chosen the most received an additional $150 (a total of $250) per vehicle.
It was a neck-and-neck battle between Hopestone Cancer Support Center of Bartlesville, Inc. and Boys & Girls Club of Bartlesville, with The Rock, The Journey Home, BSA Cherokee Area Council (Oklahoma), Bartlesville KLIFE, Richard Kane YMCA, Children's Musical Theatre of Bartlesville, Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma, and Washington County 4-H Oklahoma all as contenders.
In the end, Hopestone Cancer Support Center of Bartlesville, Inc. was named the winner.
Debbie Halpin with Hopestone appeared with Brad on the show to not only graciously receive the check in the amount of $2750, but to also tell listeners about what Hopestone is and what it does.
