Spirit Of Giving | 2024 Charity Wrap Up

The start of every new year offers an opportunity to reflect and reconnect with what’s truly important.

Here at Mount Gravatt Mazda, the spirit of giving is in our DNA. We welcome and celebrate our community. MGM is much more than just a Mazda Dealership. It’s a platform that speaks from the heart to empower our staff, break down barriers within the community and bring about change where it's needed most.

Like a big family, we honour the good times and unite during the tough. That's why, alongside our other philanthropic efforts like Random Acts Of Kindness, we donate $25 from new vehicle purchases to various charities throughout the year.

As part of our CTP partnerships, our customers choose a cause that resonates with them and we then donate on their behalf. Throughout 2024 Mount Gravatt Mazda has supported the below charities - donating over $26,500. This is an incredible effort, and we know all funds are being utilised to bring about real change in our community.

TIACS

Our pledge at MGM is that this work is only the beginning. We will strive to listen to and respond to the needs of our wonderful community more fully and look forward to making a bigger impact in 2025.
