On Oct. 19, one winner was selected during a random drawing for a new vehicle at a sweepstakes event at the Forsgate Country Club, Monroe Township. The Valerie Fund and dealers participating in the New Jersey Auto Retailers Unite campaign hosted an event during which 69 finalists present were narrowed down to 10 finalists and the winner was selected.
The grand prize winner, Jenifer Gerlock, received her winning voucher from Jim Curley Buick GMC, Lakewood. John Cioffi, sales manager for Jim Curley Buick, attended the event to cheer on the dealership’s finalists and to congratulate Jenifer, who will have the opportunity to choose a vehicle (up to a value of $33,000).
More than 200 dealerships have participated in the New Jersey Auto Retailers Unite campaign over the past three years. The event is projected to raise more than $1.5 million for New Jersey children with cancer and blood disorders served by the Valerie Fund.
Participating dealerships gave their customers a chance to win a new vehicle when they test drove or purchased a vehicle from May 30 through Sept. 16. In turn, these dealership donate $5 to the Valerie Fund for every car sold through October, while also raising awareness of the Valerie Fund, which is now in its 40th year.
