Widely known as the nation’s premier pediatric care facility, supporting The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) was a logical choice for the Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia (ADAGP). The relationship with CHOP began in 1986 with a contribution of $50,000 from the ADAGP. The Association continued to make annual contributions to CHOP until the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation was incorporated in 2003. Our total giving to the Hospital over the past 23 years exceeds $3.8 million. The Foundation is currently more than half way through a six-year, $2 million pledge to CHOP. Through our partnership with the Hospital, we are proud of the following accomplishments:
• Construction and endowment for upkeep of the Patient Welcome Center
• Support of Friends of Trisomy 21 and its Buddy Walk
• Donation of a Chevrolet Suburban to the Duct Busters traveling cardiothoracic surgery team
• Donation of a Chrysler Town & Country van to The Center for
Injury Research and Prevention
• Support of the Partners in Palliative Care program
• Donation of a Pontiac G5, along with a driving simulator for teenage drivers to The Center for Injury Research and Prevention
• Donation of two Chevrolet vans to the Home Health Care program
• Support of the Spina Bifida program in Diagnostic Center
• Support of the Daisy Day Luncheon and Carousel Ball fundraisers
