Car Pros' Back-to-School Drive Empowers Students with Essential Supplies

Empowering Education: Car Pros' Remarkable Impact on Local Communities

This September, Car Pros Automotive Group celebrated a significant achievement with its second annual Back-to-School Supply Drive, collecting an impressive 12,142 school supplies to support students in Southern California and Western Washington. The drive, which ran from August 1 to August 20, 2025, demonstrates the power of community collaboration as employees, customers, and local residents came together to fill their nine dealerships with essential educational supplies.

Growing Support: A Surge in Supplies Given

The response this year exceeded all expectations, with a 35% increase in donations compared to last year, which saw almost 9,000 items collected. Participants donated a range of essential items, including backpacks, binders, calculators, and notebooks—tools crucial for students to start the school year with confidence. Car Pros' initiative has not only alleviated some financial burdens on families but also played a vital role in addressing gaps left by budget cuts in local schools.

Making a Difference: Delivering Supplies to Those in Need

After the collection period ended, Car Pros employees personally delivered the donated supplies to various local schools and organizations. Among the recipients were Arlington Elementary and KidVantage NW in Washington, along with several schools in Southern California, including Aldama Elementary and the El Monte School District. These actions underline the commitment of Car Pros to connect with and uplift the community.

The Heart of Car Pros: Commitment to Community Giving

Matthew Phillips, CEO of Car Pros Automotive Group, emphasized the mission behind the company’s charitable efforts. In his words, "Supporting the communities we serve is core to our mission at Car Pros."
