Dealership staff pool together to support Salvation Army

The Genthe’s are at it again!!  Dick Genthe Chevrolet in Southgate presented a check for $7,788 to the Salvation Army during the 27th Annual Salvation Army 16 Hour Radiothon hosted by Dick Purtan.  The contribution came from employees, and the Genthe family.  This was to benefit the Bed and Bread Club, of which Dick Genthe Chevrolet has been the founding member of the corporate matching program supporting it since 2000.

Dick Genthe Chevrolet has a long history of supporting the community.  Richard Genthe, in the mid-1990s, was the first businessman to issue a matching challenge during a Purtan Radiothon.  He issued a final $10,000 matching challenge to support the Purtan and The Salvation Army's Bed & Bread Program. That caused the phones to ring off the hooks.  The radiothon began at 7:00 a.m. and the matching $10,000 was raised by 7:30 a.m!

Dick Genthe Chevrolet has been serving Southgate since 1916, and is also home of the 15 minute oil change.  For more information about the dealership, visit www.genthe.com or call (734) 283-3400.  Dick Genthe Chevrolet is located at 15600 Eureka Road in Southgate.
