Lichtsinn Motors of Forest City recently donated $400 to Krysilis through their We Care Charitable Giving program. The We Care program 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. Krysilis was a newly added organization to the We Care program in 2011, so this represents donations from January – August of this year.
"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 Krysilis was important to them, and we are excited to provide this donation on behalf of our customers.”
Krysilis’ services support people with disabilities so they may accomplish goals that matter to them. The services help each person do for themselves what otherwise might not be possible. The level of support and range of services varies by individual. Krysilis’ services help individuals experience life as fully as possible despite barriers that threaten to keep them from developing their abilities. Krysilis will be hosting a 40th Anniversary Celebration on Sunday, Sept. 25 in Forest City from 1 to 3 p.m.
The six We Care organizations for 2011 are: Hospice of North Iowa, the American Cancer Society, 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.
The We Care Program provides that customers purchasing a new or pre-owned car, van, SUV or truck retailing over $5,000 are able to select the organization which they would like their $50 donation to go to. This is an ongoing dealership program and donations will be made annually through this program.
