John Patterson and the OC Auto Team's Community Outreach: 2013

Sunday, May 5, 2013

Tustin Mazda, HB Mazda and Tustin Hyundai join together to Drive Diapers!

We're joining Home Aid Orange County in their endless search to never leave a wet bottom behind! Home Aid supplies a variety of homeless shelters in Orange County with basic needs for families in trouble. The need for diapers is the greatest. Home Aid needs to supply ONE MILLION diapers this year! Please help us collect diapers, still in their store packaging. We'll make it easy for you. Just stop by any of our dealerships, and drop them off. We'll be collecting all year! That's it...an easy wrap to keep a bottom dry!

Children's Congress

Jennifer Heumann and Heather Faland, both of Huntington Beach, were two of 300 children across the country chosen to represent JDRF Orange County at the 2005 and 2007 JDRF Children’s Congresses in Washington, D.C. Delegates go to Washington, D.C., to tell their elected officials and the world what it is like to live with diabetes and why providing funding to help find a cure is so important. Children’s Congress is designed to educate our federal elected officials about the issues surrounding children living with juvenile diabetes. The children selected from chapters around the country have a powerful story to tell, and they are incredibly effective in securing funding for type 1 diabetes research.
