June’s Shop for a Cause Event Drives Change

Walser’s Shop for a Cause Event Drives Change in Local Communities

This June, Walser’s Shop for a Cause event made a huge splash in local communities, raising $101,497 in total! For every new and used car purchased during the month, the Walser Foundation donated $25 on behalf of each customer to one of seven local non-profit organizations—four in Minnesota and three in Kansas.

Our foundation’s mission is to increase access to high-quality education and career-training programs in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro and Wichita, Kansas communities to build a strong workforce for the future. Walser commits 5 percent of all pre-tax earnings to the Walser Foundation, which funds hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants and sponsorships annually for our local communities.

Thanks to the Walser Foundation’s close relationship with local communities and organizations, we chose a variety of causes to support during Shop for a Cause, ranging from food security, education programs, homeless shelters, mental health services, and more.

After each purchase, customers picked one organization to send their donation to. Here’s a look at the organizations we supported this year:

Minnesota

• The Face It Foundation
• The Food Group
• Ann Bancroft Foundation
• People Serving People

Kansas

• Wichita’s Littlest Heroes
• The Women’s Network
• Prairie View

Cars get us where we’re going, but it’s the work we do along the way that truly matters.
