Cavender Auto Group has been servicing the San Antonio and Boerne areas for over 80 years. But when it comes to community giving, an established philanthropic branch of the organization was created in 2021: Cavender Cares. Auto dealerships are essential to communities as they provide services for transportation, but also employ a large percentage of individuals of all education levels. If there was one instance that highlighted how essential automotive businesses are, it was the pandemic. The Cavender family has always had a heart for giving back to the community, but Cavender Cares had a mission to hire an expert in the community that would focus on all aspects of assistance needed in the San Antonio and Boerne areas. Cavender Auto Group CAVENDER CARES: Changing the Community Perception of the Auto Industry Cavender Cares is supported by five pillars: military support, education, health and wellness, safety and support, and community culture and traditions. With those pillars in mind, Cavender Cares has successfully reached over 100 different non-profit organizations, contributed over 100 volunteer hours, hosted several supply and food drives, and donated over $200,000 of employee income and over half a million dollars of company profits. These acts resulted in Cavender Auto Group receiving the 2022 Corporate Philanthropy Award from the San Antonio Business Journal. The secret to successful community giving?
