At Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis, we believe a premium car dealership has a responsibility to give back to its community and to support the drivers who support it. That’s why our team is so proud to announce that Amanda Kodeck, our MileOne Chief Giving Officer and founder of the MileOneCares program, was recently featured in the DRIVEN Series hosted by the Maryland Automobile Dealers Association (MADA). Learn how we’re giving back today.
The DRIVEN Series
The MADA wanted to highlight the work Amanda has been doing since first launching the MileOneCares Program. Her extensive background in the nonprofit sector made her uniquely qualified to create a program that is designed to make a difference. By developing one unified method for philanthropic efforts, MileOne is better able to analyze the needs of the community and to make sure any support will make the most possible difference. The MileOneCares program took the philanthropic goals and practices that have long been MileOne’s north star and streamlined the best practices for giving back. Kodeck says it was created out of a need for “an impactful and strategic model for giving”.
What Does MileOneCares Focus On?
Since its inception, the MileOneCares program has given over three million dollars in grants and in-kind donations to nonprofit organizations. They focus on transportation initiatives, including helping disabled athletes and their gear get to events and assisting local nonprofit organizations’ medical and legal transportation. Additionally, they support car seat safety programs through Maryland Kids in Safety Seats and Drive Smart to help reduce distracted driving incidents. So when you buy, lease, or service at one of our dealerships, we’re reinvesting part of that in the communities we serve.
