At Steet Toyota, we’re proud to support organizations that make a meaningful difference in the lives of people in our community. Recently, we had the honor of sponsoring and golfing in the 26th Annual Lupus Charity Golf Classic, an incredible event dedicated to raising funds and awareness to support lupus programs. This year’s tournament was a tremendous success, raising an amazing $207,262 to help fund programs and services for individuals and families affected by lupus. We’re proud to have played a part in supporting such an important cause. Representing Steet Toyota at the tournament were Greg Wrate, Jerry Reginelli, Jason Coleman and Dom Panzone, who hit the links for a great day of golf, camaraderie and giving back. Events like the Lupus Charity Golf Classic are a wonderful reminder of what can happen when businesses, organizations and community members come together behind a shared cause. The funds raised will help support valuable programs and resources for those impacted by lupus. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this year’s tournament such a success and proud to support an event that gives back in such a meaningful way. Congratulations to the organizers on an incredible $207,262 raised—and thank you for allowing Steet Toyota to be part of it!

There’s nothing better than a beautiful summer day on the golf course with great people—and this year’s Steet Ponte Auto Group Annual Golf Tournament delivered all of that and more! This year, our annual tournament was held at Holland Heights Golf Course in Herkimer, NY, bringing together team members and friends from across the Steet Ponte Auto Group for a day of golf, food, prizes and plenty of fun. We were proud to have representation from all of our Steet Ponte stores, along with several of the businesses we’re fortunate to work with throughout the year, including New Hartford Window Cleaning and Zeibart. It was a great opportunity to step away from the dealerships, enjoy some friendly competition and spend time together outside of the office. A huge thank-you goes to Barb Mazzotta of Steet Ponte Mazda, who coordinated this year’s tournament and put together an incredible day for everyone who attended. From the moment golfers hit the course, there was something to look forward to! Golfers were treated to hot dogs and hamburgers at the turn, a drink tent to keep everyone refreshed throughout the day, and tons of prizes provided by our manufacturers and Steet Ponte stores. In fact, everyone went home with something! And, of course, the day wasn’t complete without a great meal. After finishing up on the course, everyone gathered for dinner at Holland Heights, giving us the perfect opportunity to relax, share some laughs and wrap up an unforgettable day. We couldn’t have asked for better weather or a better group of people to spend the day with. Events like this are a great reminder of what makes the Steet Ponte Auto Group special—not only the dealerships and brands we represent, but the people who make up our team and the business relationships we’ve built throughout our community. We also want to give a special shoutout to Valerie Rinaldi of Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln for helping make this event such a success! Thank you to Barb, Valerie, our participating stores, our business partners, our manufacturers and everyone who came out to golf with us. We’re already looking forward to next year! Until then, we’ll see you on the course! ⛳

At Steet Toyota of Yorkville, giving back to the community we call home is something we’re proud to do year after year. For our 3rd Annual School Supplies & Backpack Drive, the Steet Ponte Auto Group came together to donate an incredible 576 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to students in our local communities. Backpacks were filled with everything from folders and crayons to glue sticks, scissors, pencils and more. Our goal was simple: help make sure students have the supplies they need to walk into the classroom feeling prepared, motivated and confident. The six Steet Ponte stores located on Commercial Drive in Yorkville were proud to donate to the Utica City School District this year. We’re incredibly grateful to be able to support local students and families and hope these backpacks help make the start of a new school year just a little brighter. Here’s to a great school year, Utica!

The Steet Ponte Auto Group team traded in the showroom floors for the ski slopes on Sunday, March 1st, as employees from across all of our dealerships gathered for our 6th Annual Company Ski & Snowboard Trip at beautiful Gore Mountain in North Creek, NY. This annual tradition has become a favorite event for our team, giving everyone the chance to step away from the busy winter sales season and enjoy a day outdoors together. Employees spent the day skiing and snowboarding across the mountain, taking in the incredible views and enjoying some of the best conditions of the season. After a winter filled with epic snowfall, the trails at Gore Mountain were in fantastic shape. Combined with the spring-like weather and sunshine, it made for a perfect day on the mountain. Whether team members were seasoned skiers or just getting comfortable on the slopes, everyone had a great time enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful Adirondack scenery. Midday, the group gathered for lunch at The Tannery Restaurant, where everyone warmed up, shared stories from the slopes, and enjoyed a relaxing break before heading back out for more skiing in the afternoon. Events like our annual ski trip are a great reminder of how special the Steet Ponte Auto Group team truly is. We’re proud to create opportunities for our employees from all eight stores to connect, build friendships, and make memories outside of work. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us this year and helped make the day so much fun. We’re grateful to be able to host this tradition and are already looking forward to hitting the slopes again next year for our 7th Annual Company Ski Trip! 🎿❄️

Steet Toyota was proud to host our 2nd Annual Paws for a Cause event, and this year’s gathering was bigger, better, and even more heartwarming than the first. Partnering once again with the incredible team at Freedom Guide Dogs, the event brought our community together to support an organization dedicated to changing lives. For decades, Freedom Guide Dogs has provided highly trained guide dogs to individuals who are blind or visually impaired and to veterans in need of mobility assistance. Their work empowers people with independence, confidence, and companionship, something we were honored to help celebrate and support. A Longstanding Connection with Toyota Over the past three decades, Freedom Guide Dogs has purchased countless Toyota Sienna vans to help transport their puppies and working dogs safely and comfortably. The spacious interior, reliability, and versatility of the Sienna make it an ideal vehicle for transporting training groups, equipment, and of course the stars of the show—the future guide dogs themselves. It’s a partnership built on trust, reliability, and a shared commitment to helping people live fuller, more independent lives. Meet the Future Guide Dogs This year’s event featured 10 adorable Labrador Retriever puppies who are currently training to become future guide dogs. Guests also had the opportunity to meet their proud father, Hutch, along with Seymour, an experienced guide dog who demonstrated the incredible skills these dogs learn throughout their training. Seeing these puppies up close was a highlight for everyone who attended, and a powerful reminder of the dedication and training that goes into preparing guide dogs for their life-changing roles. An Interactive Experience for Attendees One of the most impactful parts of the day was an interactive obstacle course hosted by Freedom Guide Dogs. Participants were invited to wear blindfolds and navigate the course with Seymour, experiencing firsthand the trust and teamwork required between a guide dog and their handler. It was an eye-opening experience that helped attendees better understand the importance of guide dogs and the remarkable work organizations like Freedom Guide Dogs perform every day. The event also featured: Toyota merchandise giveaways Cookies, popcorn, and refreshments Opportunities to meet the puppies and trainers Community members gathering for a great cause Giving Back Steet Toyota was honored to present a $2,500 donation to Freedom Guide Dogs to help support their training programs and mission. With the overwhelming turnout from our community, this year’s event surpassed expectations and showed just how much support there is for organizations making a real difference. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, participated, and helped make the event such a success. Thank You for Supporting Paws for a Cause Events like Paws for a Cause remind us how powerful community support can be. From meeting future guide dogs to learning about the life-changing work Freedom Guide Dogs performs, the day was filled with smiles, learning, and generosity. Thank you to everyone who joined us, we can’t wait to make next year’s event even bigger!

As part of our continued sponsorship with the Utica Comets, we’re proud to offer two “Kids Night Out” games each season—special nights dedicated to our employees and their families. After a great first event back in November, we were excited to host our second Family Night on January 25th, when the Comets took on the Syracuse Crunch —and it did not disappoint. These nights are all about creating memorable experiences for our Auto Group families. Employees and their kids enjoyed tickets to the game, the unforgettable thrill of participating in the High Five Tunnel as players were announced onto the ice, and for a few lucky kids, an exciting ride on the Zamboni. From puck drop to the final buzzer, the arena was filled with smiles, cheers, and plenty of Comets pride. We’re so grateful to be able to provide opportunities like this for our team and their families. Nights like these remind us that our Auto Group is more than just where we work—it’s a community. We’re already looking forward to the next Kids Night Out and continuing to make memories together at the Adirondack Bank Center. 🏒💙

The Steet Ponte Auto Group is proud to share the successful conclusion of our 18th Annual Adopt-A-Family Holiday Gift Drive, and once again, our community truly showed up in an incredible way. This year, we collected gifts for families across Oneida and Herkimer Counties through our longtime partner, The Neighborhood Center. This outstanding nonprofit organization operates out of the North Utica Community Center and plays a vital role in supporting families in need—especially during the holiday season, when the demand for assistance is at its highest. Thanks to the generosity of our customers, employees, and community members, we collected a total of 619 gifts, with 470 gifts donated directly to The Neighborhood Center to support local families. On delivery day, our team had the opportunity to tour their Gift Donation area, and the experience was nothing short of humbling. The space was filled with thousands of gifts, thoughtfully organized to ensure families receive what they need. One area contained gifts that were fully sorted, bagged, and ready to be distributed within the next 24 hours. Another section was dedicated to gifts designated for families scheduled to come in the following days. There were also tables filled with gifts available for families who were unable to sign up ahead of time—allowing parents to “shop” for their children and ensure no one was left without something special for the holidays. Seeing the care, organization, and compassion behind this operation was truly heartwarming. It was a powerful reminder of the impact that comes from a community working together to support one another. We are beyond grateful to The Neighborhood Center for the incredible work they do, and to everyone who helped make this year’s Adopt-A-Family Gift Drive such a success—whether you donated a gift, shared our posts, or helped spread the word. Giving back has always been at the heart of the Steet Ponte Auto Group, and we are honored to continue this tradition for the 18th year. Thank you for helping us make the holidays brighter for families throughout Oneida and Herkimer Counties. ❤️🎁
