Flemington, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/11/2014 --Flemington Car & Truck Country has partnered with the New Jersey Auto Retailers Unite Program in support of The Valerie Fund for children with cancer and blood disorders.

To date, the Flemington-based dealership group has donated $10,000 to the fund on behalf of its associates, their families and their customers.

“The entire Flemington Car & Truck Country Family of Dealerships is very excited to donate $5 for every car, truck or SUV sold at any of our dealerships through September 30," added Flemington’s President Byron Brisby.

The move is part of a broader state-wide initiative by the New Jersey Auto Retailers Unite Program, whereby every customer who takes a test drive through August 30 at a participating dealership will get a Sweepstakes Ticket for a new car.

Plus, anyone who buys or leases a vehicle before September will receive an additional 3 Sweepstakes Tickets. Customers can register for the Sweepstakes on the campaign’s website, with the draw taking place at a gala celebration on September 14.

“Our organization loves the chance to help such an important organization. Being able to reward a loyal Flemington Car and Truck Country customer for contributing to the Valerie Fund makes this a can’t-miss opportunity,” remarked their Vice President, Byron Brisby Jr.

As a result of its efforts, the New Jersey Auto Retailers Unite Campaign has already raised over $280,000 for The Valerie Fund.

Said Flemington Car & Truck Country Chairman Steve Kalafer: “We’re proud to partner with the New Jersey Auto Retailers Unite Program for this worthwhile cause. The Valerie Fund offers medical care, counseling and other services to more than 4,000 children every year – and we are more than happy to support their life-changing efforts.”
