Russ-A-Palooza! At Thompson Lexus Willow Grove
Russ Taylor, a Service Advisor at Thompson Lexus Willow Grove, uses his birthday, June 28, as a way to give back. It all started in 2015 when a family friend had to stay at Children's Hospital with their son for an unexpectedly long stay. During this time when things were finally starting to look up, Russ and his friends took the child's father out for dinner just to get him out of the hospital for a little bit. Russ asked him, "besides your son being ill, what is the worst part about the situation?", without hesitation, he said that his son didn't want to go to sleep without his Iron-Man action figure. The problem was driving back home was not an option to look for the one that he wanted so he did what any father would do during that time. He drove all over Philadelphia going to Wal-Marts, Targets, and Toys R Us trying to find the correct figure.
As it turns out, hospitals like this don't have enough toys to go around, and sometimes those toys can't go from child to child due to different diseases that they might have or are currently fighting. That night Russ and the gang came up with the idea to have a toy drive for the pediatrics ward. Since his birthday falls in the middle of the year, Russ thought it was the perfect opportunity to replenish the toy box for the pediatrics department, as toys that are donated during the holidays get broken and lose pieces over time.
Over the years Russ has decided to help out different groups in the communities- he's collected toys and Legos for the pediatrics and Theraplay, stuffed animals for the local police departments (Abington, Upper Moreland, Cheltenham, and Upper Dublin) but due to Covid he was not able to hold the event for 2020 or 2021.
This year, Russ is collecting new playing cards and board games to help the children at Theraplay in Horsham with Speech Therapy, Physical-Occupational Therapy, and Feeding and Confusion Rehab programs. Between June 1, 2022 and June 25, 2022 Lexus Willow Grove will have a collection bin for the requested items - Thompson is encouraging anyone to join in the donation!

Promoting SAFE Winter Driving!

Winter weather is not limited to just snow and freezing temperatures. Fog and black ice can be equally as dangerous to navigate. During these conditions, remember to accelerate and decelerate slowly, treat wet roads like they might be icy, and clear all snow off your car to improve visibility.
With the tips in this video, we hope community members will remember to drive safely all winter long!

Thompson is Helping to Drive Away the Cold!
On October 15, 2021 The Thompson Organization delivered over 200 coats to Willow Grove YMCA, Tabor Children's Services Inc., and Bucks County Children and Youth. The coats were part of a program called Driving Away the Cold, organized by Auto Dealers CARing for Kids and Auto Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia. These coats are made available to children in our community who need coats for the upcoming winter season.
The Thompson Organization partners with Auto Dealers CARing for Kids - a nonprofit organization composed of 190 auto dealers doing good in Greater Philadelphia. This year, the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation's New Coat Program hit a major milestone this fall by distributing 500,000 brand-new winter coats to area children in need.
"We are proud to have participated in the Driving Away the Cold program for the past eight years," said John Thompson, Vice President of The Thompson Organization. "It's humbling to have the opportunity to touch the lives of local children directly, and to fulfill a need that is often taken for granted."
Thompson Partners with Pine2Pink
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and to show support, Thompson partnered with Pine2Pink: a Doylestown-based, non-profit organization helping breast cancer patients in our community. This year, Thompson committed to donating $25 for every new or pre-owned vehicle sold during October.
To add to the excitement, throughout the month of October, all of Thompson's dealerships were bathed in bright pink lights. At Thompson Toyota, community members were invited to sign their Hero Wall - the pink panels located outside the front entrance of the dealership. This wall is a visual celebration of survivors, encouragement for those in recovery, as well as to memorialize loved ones lost.
Thompson's goal was to donate $12,000 to Pine2Pink and they are so excited to announce they surpassed that goal, donating a grand total of $12,500
"Pine2Pink's partnership with the Thompson Organization goes deeper and is more impactful than people realize. The Community gets the benefit of seeing 330 lights turn pink and the Toyota arch becoming a monument to honor those who are fighting and have fought breast cancer. But when you look deeper this organization is run by people who are selfless, passionate professionals from the top down who donate hours-upon-hours to support us in amazing ways like creating banners, flags and magnets. They provide marketing and design support, they coordinate and produce events, they created the Pine2Pink mobile as a fantastic billboard on wheels and even dedicated an actual billboard on Rt. 413. They offer proceeds splits, like $25 per car sold during the month of October, and on top of all this, they have donated tens of thousands of dollars annually to Pine2Pink! We have endearingly coined the dealerships Thompsonville, because they really are a little city made up of amazing people who put their hearts before their hubcaps!" shares Founder and Executive Director of Pine2Pink Keith Fenimore

Align with Thompson in the Fight Against Breast Cancer | October 1-31st
1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer. That's about 1.4 million who will be diagnosed this year. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Thompson Organization wanted to show support for survivors and those affected by it. For every 4-Wheel Alignment service, we will donate $10 to the Linda Creed Breast Cancer Organization.
Why did we choose this organization? The Linda Creed Breast Cancer Organization helps women locally, right here in our communities. The LCBCO, founded over 31-years ago, is dedicated to the early detection and treatment of breast cancer. LCBCO cover costs for free mammography screenings for uninsured/underinsured women in our communities, supporting patients every step of the way. The organization works with hospitals in our area.
"Without medical insurance coverage, these women often ignore well care and, too often, it also means ignoring the symptoms," said Fran Orodeckis, Development Director, Linda Creed Breast Cancer Organization.
The LCBCO is a grassroots effort, fundraising more than $300,000 each year.
"We hear a lot that people work full time just to have healthcare, then when you need it most, you can't get the help you need," said Orodeckis. "That's where we come in. We help to make sure everyone gets the assistance to get treatment."
During the month of October Align with Thompson in the fight against breast cancer. It's one way we can help make a difference, because 'we're in this together.'
