The BMW Car Club of America Foundation announced today that Classic BMW of Plano, Texas has contributed $75,000 to “The Ultimate Driving Community . . . Building the Foundation” Capital Campaign of the BMW CCA Foundation, a campaign to raise funds for teen driver safety programs and the preservation of BMW history. Classic BMW is the first BMW dealership to join the Capital Campaign and support the Foundation’s goal of raising $7 million.
“As a family owned and operated business, Classic BMW has a tradition of giving back to the automotive community,” said Eric Maas, president and owner of Classic BMW. “We believe that teaching teens to become better and safer drivers through the Street Survival program will someday save their lives or the lives of others. The team at Classic is happy to participate in such a meaningful program”.
“We are also excited about helping the Foundation’s library, archive and museum programs to preserve BMW history,” added Maas. “As a BMW dealer that has been in existence since 1971, Classic BMW has seen the BMW brand evolve in the U.S. and we are passionate about conserving and promoting BMW’s heritage—our showroom regularly displays pristine examples of locally-owned historic BMWs.”
“Classic BMW’s generous contribution will help the Foundation meet our target of doubling the number of Street Survival classes offered over the next five years,” said Mike Ura, vice president, BMW CCA Foundation. “Eric Maas and his team at Classic are a great addition to the Capital Campaign and we value their enthusiasm and drive to support the Foundation’s efforts on behalf of teen driving safety and the BMW legacy.”—Mike Ura
