SAMES AUTO GROUP The team at Texas’ oldest dealership makes it fun to raise money with their Jeans for Non‑Profit, a program that first started in June 2014. Employees donate $2 each Friday in exchange for wearing jeans to work. Last year, with the acquisition of Sames Chevrolet and Sames Nissan, the program added over 150 new employees participating in the program. In addition, during their holiday luncheon, employees from the Laredo stores voted for their top three non-profit organizations to receive their Jeans for Non-Profit donation. Winners included Driscoll Children’s Hospital, Sacred Heart Children’s Home, and Bethany House of Laredo. “What makes this donation special is this is above and beyond what Sames as a corporation donates annually. This donation comes directly from the generosity of our team, and I am so proud of them!” said Evelyn Sames, Chief Operations Officer for Sames Motor Company. Last year, checks were presented at Sames Laredo showrooms joined by employees from all stores (Sames KIA, Sames Nissan, Sames Chevrolet, Sames Ford, Sames Mazda, Super Centers and Quick Lane), along with General Managers Thomas Piña, Trent Stricker, Jerry Resendez and COO Evelyn Sames. Habitat for Humanity again partnered with the Sames Auto Group as Sames Laredo Ford and Sames Laredo Chevrolet were the title sponsors for the 11th Annual Golfing for Roofs fundraising tournament on April 1, 2023 at Casa Blanca Golf Course. The annual tournament is held to raise funds for building new homes and repairing existing ones for low-income families across Webb County and providing disaster services. 35 TADA.ORG
