A Year of Impact and Community
Column by Lindsey Hinchcliff-Crotty // Image Provided
As we launch into another incredible year, we are filled with gratitude for the collective efforts of our associates, customers, and community partners who made 2024 an outstanding year for ONYX Automotive’s Driving Good initiative. Together, we created meaningful change, supported vital causes, and strengthened our community in countless ways. Let’s take a look back at some of the year’s highlights.
Supporting Omaha Nonprofits
Through the Driving Good initiative, ONYX associates and customers donated over $12,000 to local nonprofit organizations in 2024. These funds have made a direct impact, enabling our community partners to continue their vital work.
Partnering with Together Inc.
In March 2024, ONYX partnered with Together Inc. to provide essential living supplies to those in need. Associates and customers generously donated nonperishable food items, hygiene products, and other critical items. An additional $1,100 donation was made to help Together Inc. purchase essential supplies.
Strike Out Hunger
In June 2024, ONYX participated in the Food Bank for the Heartland’s annual Strike Out Hunger campaign. As one of over 20 local businesses involved, we were thrilled to contribute to the Food Bank for the Heartland’s campaign success in raising over 400,000 meals for those facing food insecurity. The ONYX team raised 11,655 meals, donating over 1,800 pounds of food and $3,580—a testament to the power of community and collaboration.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
ONYX proudly participated in Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 2024. Our signature event, PINK OUT DAY on Oct. 18, 2024, encouraged associates to wear pink and raise awareness. A custom Driving Good Breast Cancer Awareness T-shirt was designed and sold to associates, raising $3,140. All proceeds went to the Lymphedema Prevention Program for Breast Cancer Patients at Nebraska Medicine, helping improve the lives of patients facing this challenging diagnosis.
Holiday Donation Drive with Project Harmony
For the 2024 holiday season, ONYX Automotive partnered with Project Harmony for our annual Holiday Donation Drive from Nov. 13-22. We “adopted” nine families in need, raising over $5,000 to purchase meaningful gifts and brighten their holiday season. This effort embodied the spirit of giving and highlighted the incredible generosity of our associates and customers.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate the accomplishments of 2024, we look forward to continuing the Driving Good initiative in 2025 and beyond. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making last year so impactful. Throughout this year, I’ll share how ONYX continues to join forces with associates, customers, and local nonprofits to drive good in the Omaha community.
