Lichtsinn Motors raises over $10,500 for Relay for Life of Winnebago County


Forest City, Iowa – Lichtsinn Motors of Forest City recently completed the balance of their full year donations to the American Cancer Society through their WE CARE Charitable Giving Plan, bringing full year contributions to ACS over $10,500.

The WE CARE plan provides that Lichtsinn Motors will donate $50 to the customer’s choice of one of six pre-selected organizations for each new or pre-owned car or truck purchased at the Forest City dealership. This is an ongoing dealership program with donations being made annually.

"The We Care Program allows us to direct our giving funds to those organizations that our customers tell us are important to them," said Ron Lichtsinn, owner of Lichtsinn Motors. "Our customers told us that The American Cancer Society was important to them and they decided we would donate $5,500 to this organization over the past year through the WE CARE program. This year’s donation is being given to coincide with the upcoming June 25 Relay for Life of Winnebago County."

Team Lichtsinn is a major corporate sponsor for the 2011 Relay for Life of Winnebago County.

The six Lichtsinn Motors We Care organizations for 2011 are: The American Cancer Society, HOSPICE of North Iowa, the Forest City Community School District, the Lake Mills Community School District, the Forest City YMCA and Krysilis. Donations will be presented to the remaining organizations throughout the balance of the year. In addition, each customer has the opportunity to nominate other organizations for consideration for the following year's list. Organizations have the opportunity to submit an application to be part of the next year’s list as well.
