Yark Automotive Group Celebrates the Make-A-Wish Foundation in the month of December

Yark Automotive Group celebrates the Make A Wish Foundation NW Ohio Region this December!  For each vehicle purchase, Yark Automotive donates a portion to the Make A Wish Foundation.  This is the 8th consecutive year Yark Automotive Group has teamed up with the Make A Wish Foundation to raise money to grant wishes to children with life-threatening conditions.  To date, Yark has donated over $110,000 to the local chapter.


On December 17th, Yark hosted a special Test Drive Event to celebrate Kaylee Halko, a local Make A Wish recipient.  Any vehicle that was taken on a test drive that day, the customer received a copy of the Make A Wish Holiday Wishes CD and Yark made a donation to the foundation.  This CD is compromised of local talent reading and singing holiday classics.


The 'Holiday Wishes' CD features local artists like Kyle White, Ramona Collins, Pat Dailey and special guests like Chrys Peterson, Jamie Farr lend their musical talents while Fox Anchors Laura Emerson and Shaun Hegarty read the story of Frosty the Snowman.


In addition, our special guest Kaylee Halko, contributed to the CD reading, "Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus' with Crystal Bowersox, and she was on hand to sign autographs and our Yark Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram store.  Kaylee is a 6 year old girl who suffers from Progeria, a rare genetic condition wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at an early ago.  Kaylee and her family were granted a wish of making Kaylee a star.  Her talents and wish landed her on the Holiday Wishes CD for Make A Wish.


Join Yark Automotive Group and Make A Wish Foundation and help in sharing the power of a wish this holiday season.  Yark's Make A Wish campaign ends this Saturday, December 31st.  To learn more about how you can help "share the power of a wish" contact us today.
