A sincere thank you to all employees who donated time and money to the 2010 Hospice Memorial Walk. It was a record year for Hospice, with the most ever walkers in attendance - over 3,000! This year Hospice raised an additional $20,000 over last year's total.

We are pleased to announce that the West Herr Automotive Group was again the Top Fundraising Team! We raised $9,109 for Hospice.

The Hospice walk is just one of the many examples of how our employees are committed to the communities we work with.  Thank you for ALL that you do, for ALL the charitable and philanthropic activities supported by West Herr.

We look forward to another outstanding show of support for next year's walk.
