2013 Tom Cosenzi Scholarship Breakfast
On Saturday May 18th Carla Cosenzi, President of TommyCar Auto Group - presented Tom Cosenzi Scholarships to three Western Mass High School Seniors. This is the third consecutive year; TommyCar Auto has offered scholarships to graduating high school students who plan to attend a two-year or four-year College, University, or Trade School. The fund is open to four designated schools that are located in the com
munities where the Auto Group has dealerships.
The Tom Cosenzi Scholarship looks to serve well-rounded individuals who exhibit a strong academic background, leadership skills, and a willingness to give back. Students applying for the scholarship were required to submit a one-page-minimum essay describing why they are deserving of the award and what their future plans include. Many also included academic transcripts, resumes of sports, clubs, and volunteer/community involvement, as well as letters of recommendation from teachers, guidance counselors and principals.
Three recipients were chosen this year, and they and their families attended a presentation breakfast at Cosenzi's Country Nissan dealership in Hadley, where they met with Carla and were awarded their $1,000 scholarships. Northampton High, one of the designated schools in the program, did not submit any applications this year.
Receiving 2013 Tom Cosenzi Scholarships are Avery Klepacki of Hopkins Academy in Hadley, Jocelyn Adorno of Greenfield High School, and Liana Montiverdi of Shepherd Hill Regional High School. All have strong academic records and a history of volunteerism and community involvement.

4th Annual Tom Cosenzi Driving for the Cure Golf Tournament is About Making a Difference
On September 10, 2012, we hosted the 4th
annual Tom Cosenzi Driving for the Cure golf
tournament. This tournament is held in
honor of Tom Cosenzi who lost his battle with brain cancer back in 2009. All of the proceeds from this tournament go
to brain cancer research facilities in the hopes of one day discovering a cure.
A long-time employee of Tom, Eric Penza said that "he always had a smile on his face, even when he became increasingly ill." Tom Cosenzi is known for a few things: his smile, his generosity, and his excellent ability to seal the deal. He was also very kind to all of his employees, and even if you didn't know Tom, it only took five minutes talking with him to feel like you were close friends.
All of our employees here help to make this tournament as amazing as it can be. Every year, returning participants look forward to the golfing, lunch and dinner. Kelsey Bover says that "It's exhausting but fun."
But this tournament is more than golfing and food, it's an opportunity to make a difference for people. Christina Pease, a long-time employee and three-year helper for the tournament says that "It's nice to see everyone come together and participate in golfing and the dinner to show they care and want to make a difference."
Carla and Tommy Cosenzi , two of Tom's four children , Mike Hyder , one of Tom's good friends , and Gayle Bover , an employee and good friend to Tom , make up the tournament committee. From the beginning, the four of these people have worked diligently to raise as much money as possible to go toward Brain Cancer Research. Gayle Bover says that it is satisfying "knowing we are raising money for a great cause and for keeping the memory of Tom alive."
Each year, the tournament grows bigger, with more sponsors, participation, and money. Thanks to everyone, there may soon be a break through in discovering a cure to brain cancer!

Patriot Buick GMC sponsors Pink in the Rink!
On Sunday, February 12th, Patriot Buick GMC and the Worcester Sharks joined forces to go "Pink in the Rink"! For the first time in Worcester history, the ice rink of the DCU center was dyed pink, with Sharks players wearing pink jerseys, in order to raise money for breast cancer awareness. The goal of the game was to support Cup Crusaders, an organization dedicated to the fight against cancer. The first 1,000 attendees were given a free pink t-shirt with the Worcester Sharks logo on the front, courtesy of Patriot Buick GMC, and pink wiper blades were sold to Shark fans. All proceeds from "Pink in the Rink" were donated to help the Cup Crusaders fund advanced global research and programs allowing for cancer education, screening and treatment for local community members. The pink jerseys worn during the game by players were auctioned of after the match, further benefiting the Cup Crusader's efforts. The event was a great success; thanks to everyone who came out and offered their support!
TommyCar Auto Walks with Monte to Fight Hunger
During the month of November, Country Nissan and Country Hyundai became involved in the fight to eradicate hunger by helping to raise support and awareness for the annual "Monte's March" and for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. During the march, Monte pushed a shopping cart the length of a marathon race, all the way from Northampton to Greenfield, collecting cans of food and monetary donations along the way. Carla and staff members from Country Nissan and Country Hyundai marched alongside Monte for a portion of Route 9 to assist the effort to raise awareness to passing cars. Carla also donated pace cars for the occasion; they followed Monte the entirety of the trip and supplied bottled water for thirsty marchers. In addition to walking with Monte, Country Nissan and Country Hyundai advertised the need for both funds and non-perishable food items, which the community graciously responded to.
The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has been a great source of comfort and provision for the hunger-stricken community. In addition to providing food for those under financial stress, the Food Bank has also been there to offer help to victims struggling from natural disasters, like the most recent tornado, the October snow storm, and Hurricane Irene.
Country Nissan, Country Hyundai, and the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts together were able to raise $20,000 during Monte's March. Thank you to everyone who supported either with donations or by strolling alongside Monte!
Spreading a Spirit of Gratefulness through Toys for Tots
This Holiday season, the Country Nissan, Patriot Buick GMC, and Country Hyundai showrooms were home to huge trucks with a big Toys for Tots box sitting in the back. The Service Departments offered discounts on vehicle maintenance to anyone willing to bring in a gift for the toy drive. Thanks to the response and generous support of community members, Toys for Tots received not only a box full of toys, but a toy-filled back of the truck! These toys were collected by the organization and delivered to in-need children.
Toys for Tots was founded in 1947 by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. The purpose of the organization is to provide toys for children whose parents cannot afford Christmas gifts for them. As a result, kids who would otherwise be without the 
anticipation and joy of gifts are able to share in this Christmas tradition.
TommyCar Auto is already anticipating the growth of the drive next Holiday season! Thank you so much to everyone who helped bring joy into the lives of grateful children.
