The CarMax Foundation has invested in local children facing adversity with a $5,000 grant to support the site based mentoring program of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Harrisonburg-Rockingham County. The local dealership also has employees who serve as mentors and had several employees participate in the agency’s signature, annual fundraiser, Bowl for Kids’ Sake. This is the first grant from The CarMax Foundation. We are thankful for this support and look forward to continued partnership in the future.
