Performance Auto Group Donates $6,000 to Kristen French CACN

Posted on September 29, 2016

Performance Auto Group has made a $6,000 donation to the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre Niagara (CACN) as part of the company's commitment to give back to local communities. The donation will help end Kristen French CACN's mortgage by 2018, and will assist the charitable organisation to help and support children and families suffering due to child abuse in the Niagara region.

The donation is the result of a child safety initiative spearheaded by John Mann, one of the founding members of Performance Auto Group in Niagara-St. Catharines. Mann invited car dealers to a Mayor's luncheon in St. Catharines in September, 2015, and gave an opportunity to Kristen French CACN to present their 'Safe Vehicle Safe Community' campaign at the event. The campaign asked for help in retiring CACN's mortgage by 2018, due to which Performance Auto Group made the contribution.

Kristen French CACN was the first stand-alone child advocacy centre to open in Canada in 2008. Since then, it has provided all of Niagara's 12 municipalities with child-focused and trauma-informed leading practice approach for the investigation and treatment of child abuse.

Performance Auto Group's donation to the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre Niagara is a part of the company's Drive Change initiative, which ensures that the group gives back visibly to the communities which it serves.
