CMA is proud to partner with United Way of Greater Charlottesville to launch a new transportation initiative, Driving Lives Forward, to connect economically disadvantaged individuals and families with reliable vehicles and affordable auto loan financing.

“While working with UWGC for years on the self-sufficiency initiative, it was clear that lack of reliable and affordable transportation was a roadblock for many families in our community. As an auto dealer and community partner, I felt strongly that we needed to be part of the solution,” said Liza Borches, CMA’s President and CEO...

On Wednesday, CMA's Valley Subaru surprised Camp LIGHT, a summer day camp for children with special needs and at-risk youth, with a check in the amount of $23,000.

From mid-November through early December, CMA dealerships across all markets partnered with local non-profits to provide bikes and bike helmets to local children. Bikes are among the most asked-for gifts every holiday season, even amongst families that don't celebrate, and we wanted to help.
