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. Fill out the form below 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!
