Community Values Day at Quantum Leap Farms

About a dozen team members of Dimmitt Auto Group eagerly participated in Community Values Day on Sunday, June 4th at Quantum Leap Farm in Odessa, Florida. Community Values Day allows Dimmitt associates to impact others throughout the community through service and engagement. Quantum Leap Farm specializes in offering equine-assisted therapies, and those of the other “resident” farm animals, to help visitors focus on their abilities and not their disabilities. Their mission statement reads;
“Quantum Leap Farm empowers children and adults of all abilities to grow strong, achieve therapeutic goals and overcome challenges through equine-assisted therapies.”
As anyone who is familiar with horses can tell you, these animals and people can develop some very special relationships. Quantum Leap Farm hopes to demonstrate the power of those relationships to its visitors. You can learn more about this amazing local facility by visiting their website at www.quantumleapfarm.org/.
Dimmitt Auto Group associates volunteered their time in a wide-variety of ways including assisting with arts and crafts, face painting, ponies rides and helping to prepare and serve a delicious barbecue lunch for visitors. They were rewarded with grateful smiles, laughter, and memories that won't soon be forgotten.
The event was open to the public for children with cancer and their families. Though it was for just a day, it gave our team a chance to make a difference in the lives of these children and those who love and care for them. While Dimmitt Auto Group has partnered with Quantum Leap Farm in the past on other special events, this is the first community service function in which we have teamed with them.
This is the latest in a series of civic events and charitable causes the Dimmitt Auto Group embraces to make a difference in the communities we serve. As a family and community-focused company, we understand our responsibility to the region that has supported us for so long. As we continue to grow through our terrific team, we look forward to committing resources and encouraging the volunteer efforts of our staff to make our area a better place to live.

2019 Vintage Motor Classic

It was the perfect day for a car show. Visitors gathered Sunday, November 10 to enjoy a stunning display of vintage and classic vehicles on the waterfront of St. Petersburg. Hosted by the St. Petersburg Yacht Club, the annual Vintage Motor Classic did not disappoint. Dimmitt Automotive Group was a proud sponsor of the event. Grouped by era and by origin, the vehicles on the lawn of the yacht club could have driven right out of a classic film. Domestics and exotics alike impressed onlookers. Judges remarked to one another on the owners’ attention to detail. [gallery size="full" ids="307346,307347,307345"] All for Some Great Causes But the day wasn’t just about the vehicles. The annual Vintage Motor Classic is also one of the yacht club’s most popular fundraising events. While the crowd enjoyed the fair weather and the gorgeous display, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club sold tickets and t-shirts in an effort to raise funds for their supported charities, Pet Pal Animal Shelter and Music Sweet Music. [gallery size="full" columns="2" ids="307343,307342"] Pet Pal Animal Shelter Located in St. Petersburg, Pet Pal Animal Shelter (formerly known as “Pet Pal Rescue”) was founded by two driven women who wanted to decrease the number of animals being euthanized due to overpopulation and neglect. Pet Pal has grown from a two-women operation to a multi-tier organization and expanded to include a veterinary clinic and thrift store. And while they’ve grown to meet the needs of an overpopulated pet population, the organization has stayed true to their mission. Pet Pal Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter which will only euthanize an animal in the event of terminal illness or uncorrectable aggression.

Music Sweet Music, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 which seeks to bring music therapy to children and adults with illnesses, diseases and disorders. They use music therapy to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs in individuals. Currently, Music Sweet Music, Inc. runs programs in several hospitals, including Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, and Shriners’ Children’s Hospital, among others.
