Jeff Schmitt Auto Group donates $10K to Humane Society

A donation was given Monday to help the animals at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton.

The Jeff Schmitt Auto Group presented the Humane Society with a $10,000 check in thanks for their campaign that ran from Jan. 1 through Feb. 28, according to a release.

The campaign “You Drive, They Thrive” was a two-month long campaign where people could go into any of Jeff Schmitt Auto Group’s seven dealerships and test drive a car.

For each car test driven, they’d donate $50 to the animals, the release stated. If a person purchased a car and financed it through Ally, they’d donate an additional $50.
