HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- CDK Global has announced a $10,000 donation to the National Automobile
Dealers Charitable Foundation's Emergency Relief Fund to support
dealership families displaced by the recent flooding in
Baton Rouge, La., and surrounding
communities.
"Our hearts go out to the families affected by this tragedy,"
said Yvonne Surowiec, chief people
officer at CDK Global. "Supporting communities, during times of
crisis is a part of our core values. It's our sincere hope that
these funds help the community and people affected recover and
rebuild."
In a NADA video released last week, Peter Welch, president of the National
Automobile Dealers Association, walked through the flood-ravaged
areas of Baton Rouge describing
the damage to homes. NADA is urging the entire auto industry to
support the flood victims.
"We commend CDK Global for this generous donation, and encourage
other allied companies to do the same by making a donation today to
the NADA Foundation's Emergency Relief Fund," Welch said. "Now that
the flood waters have receded and the damage has been assessed, the
requests for financial assistance are growing each day."
To donate to the NADA Foundation fund, visit
www.nada.org/emergencyrelief or call 703.821.7233. Checks can be
made payable to NADCF Emergency Fund, c/o NADCF, 8400 Westpark
Drive, MS 7, Tysons, VA 22102.
According to the American Red Cross, the response effort will
cost at least $30 million and may
grow as the recovery begins in the region. CDK will also institute
an employee match to the American Red Cross as a part of their
employee giving program.
