Lester Glenn Auto Group Hosts Bucks for Pups Event Benefitting Manchester Township Police Department
/(TOMS RIVER, NJ – January 15, 2020) In January of 2019, Lester Glenn Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT's Sales Representative, Steve Regan, made a pledge to raise funds to support the Manchester Township Police Department's K-9 Unit.
With each vehicle Regan sold in 2019, a portion of the vehicle sale was added to his year-long fundraiser's total. In addition to his personal contribution, Regan also accepted donations through online fundraisers as well as in-store from community members, customers and colleagues.
After discussing his fundraising campaign and his passion to help the community with Lester Glenn Auto Group owner and President Adam Kraushaar, Lester Glenn Auto Group pledged to match the donations Regan would generate through his 2019 fundraising campaign.
The Bucks for Pups Event marked the one-year anniversary of Regan’s pledge to raise money for the Manchester Township Police Department’s K-9 Unit. The event featured a series of on-site demonstrations completed by K-9 Officers Marc Micciulla, Steven Wendruff, Storm and Lynk. After fielding a series of questions asked by community members and Lester Glenn team members in attendance at the event, Lester Glenn Auto Group and Regan presented a check for $10,000 to the Manchester Township Police Department.
“It was an opportunity to assist the community that provides so much for my family and I,” said Regan. “It all started with an idea to help a local law enforcement department and that idea grew and grew with the help and support of my customers, colleagues and my organization.”
All funds donated will go to support the K9 Unit of the Manchester Township Police Department.
