Among our guiding principles at Ruge's Automotive is our commitment to paying it forward. Through sponsorships, donations, and volunteerism, it's our goal to make life happier, healthier, and hopefully a little easier for our neighbors and friends in the Hudson Valley region and beyond!

Through our longtime involvement with area nonprofits and community-based programs, we've realized that there are SO MANY people doing SO MUCH good - every day, all year long! So, we've decided it's time to create a platform to publicly acknowledge those great people. 

We're doing this through our #DrivenbyKindness campaign. 

Here's how it works:

1. Email pdownes@rugesauto.com to submit your #DrivenbyKindness story and photo...or submit a story about someone you know or admire! *Note: Please be sure to include a .JPEG photo.

2. Watch our social media channels to see if yours is selected as a featured post (we will choose two submissions to highlight each month)

3. If your post goes live, share to inspire your friends and family using hashtag #DrivenbyKindness.

Everyone is welcome to participate: our staff, vendors, community members, customers. If you've got a story to share, we want to hear it so that we can potentially use it to inspire others! #DrivenbyKindness
