TEMECULA – Hine Temecula Mazda stepped up to help Assistance League of Temecula Valley to provide 120 low-income school children with new clothing on Feb. 7 at Kohl’s in Murrieta through its Operation School Bell program.

By organizing an opportunity drawing, two benefit shows at ACES Comedy Club in Murrieta, and providing silent auction items, Temecula Mazda was the major sponsor for this dressing event for the children by raising $6,827.

Since September, the program has provided new clothes for approximately 1,700 individuals. Recently, Bill Brumbaugh, general manager, and Carlene Dempster, coordinator of the benefit, were presented with a Certificate of Appreciation by the members of Assistance League for their generosity and support.

Temecula Mazda would like to thank all the people who donated $5 to get an entry into the opportunity drawing raffle for fabulous prizes from South Coast Winery & Resort, Churon Winery, Simply Kneaded, and ACES Comedy Advertisement

They would also like to thank all the generous companies who donated to the silent auction at the benefit shows at ACES Comedy Club. Temecula Mazda would like to give a huge thank you of appreciation to performers Jac Rene (Master Stage Hypnotist), Tom McGillen (Comedian), and Jeff Capri (Comedian) who did outstanding performances to help raise money for Operation School Bell.

General Manager Bill Brumbaugh’s focus at Temecula Mazda is on premium customer service and giving back to Temecula by doing fundraising for the community, making Temecula Mazda a "green" business, and treating people with the respect they deserve when purchasing a vehicle. Subaru will join the John Hine Group on the same property and is scheduled to open in July 2013.
