From November 12, 2015 to Christmas 2015, Markquart Motors and Markquart Toyota donated $100 for every new and used vehicle sold as part of Markquart Gives Back. This initiative aims to give back to the community that Markquart calls home.

The $50,000 will be split between four Chippewa Valley organizations that make a difference in our community members’ lives every day – Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley, Feed My People Food Bank, Chippewa Valley Free Clinic of Eau Claire, and the Open Door Clinic of Chippewa Falls.

In order to encourage participation, people were able to follow the progress of Markquart Gives Back on markquart.com/givesback, as well as learn more about the individual organizations.

Included in each of the vehicles sold was a Markquart Gives Back ornament, and a booklet explaining the initiative and each of the organizations’ missions. “We wanted our customers to be informed about these local organizations and the amazing work they do for our community,” said Amy Dachel, Marketing Manager for both Markquart Motors and Markquart Toyota. If you purchased a vehicle during the Markquart Gives Back time frame, but didn’t receive an ornament, they can be picked up from Markquart Motors during business hours.

Markquart hopes to continue Markquart Gives Back as an annual tradition.
