The Keep Driving Foundation is proud to announce the latest recipients of their education and community-based grant program. The newly established Keep Driving Foundation is a non-profit organization that will further the mission of the flagship program, Drive for Education, to do even more to give back and support the local community. The $40,400 awarded this month will further contribute to the growing total amount donated to local schools since the program’s inception in 2011.

Last week Berlin City hosted events in Portland, Maine and Gorham to present grant recipients with their grants on behalf of The Keep Driving Foundation. “We were thrilled to host students, teachers and community representatives in our dealerships to present these grants,” said Yegor Malinovskii, Berlin City Market President.

“It has been three years since we’ve been able to do this in person. Seeing all those smiling faces and knowing we had a part in making that happen is truly a highlight of the year for everyone at Berlin City. We are grateful to be part of a company that believes in giving back and making a difference in the communities we serve.”
