Crown Customer Service Representative, Joe Higdon, Bicycles for Multiple Sclerosis!
Our
very own Joe Higdon participated in the MS 150 for the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society September 14-15. Joe is an avid bicycle
rider and has been a member of the Team Katie for the past six years.
Team Katie began when Joe’s son Justin experienced the disease through
his mother-in-law, Katie. Justin became passionate for the cause after
seeing what the disease can do to families who have a loved one with the
illness. Team Katie has grown from three people six years ago to 15
people today.
The
Bike-A-Thon is divided up into three routes depending on skill level.
Riders in the two day event can choose from: 1. The Centennial
Route-100 miles each day-Advanced Riders. 2. Regular Route-75 miles
each day-mid level rider, and 3. Short Route- 36 miles each
day-Beginner riders. The first ten miles is the same route for
everyone. After that, the routes divide. Team Katie has five members
in the advanced level, five in the mid level, and five in the beginner
level. The Bike-A-Thon began at 7:00 am at Garmin in Olathe and ended
at 5:30 in Lawrence on day one. Day two began at 7 am in Lawrence and
ended at 11:45 in pouring rain at Garmin.
Team
Katie has hit the $20K mark in donations over their career, and Joe is
currently in the top 200 donor generators. He is very near moving into
the top 150 category and would like your help. Please support Joe by sending your donations to www.bike4kt.com and click on “Joe Higdon”, or just see Joe in the Volkswagen building.

Letter from the 2013 "Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer" Organizers
September 13, 2013
Crown Toyota Scion
Attn: Miles Schnaer

Lawrence, KS 66046
Dear Miles,
Thank you for your support of breast cancer awareness and the “Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer” Dance. Thanks to your generous donation last year you helped raise $67,500 for breast cancer education and prevention! The proceeds from this event helped over 12,000 women get breast cancer screenings and treatments at LMH last year. We hope you will continue to support breast cancer awareness this year as well!

Dear Miles,
Thank you for your support of breast cancer awareness and the “Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer” Dance. Thanks to your generous donation last year you helped raise $67,500 for breast cancer education and prevention! The proceeds from this event helped over 12,000 women get breast cancer screenings and treatments at LMH last year. We hope you will continue to support breast cancer awareness this year as well!
On Saturday, October 26, 2013 Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH) Endowment Association will host the 21th anniversary “Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer” Dance. Proceed from the dance’s 700+ attendees and corporate sponsors will assist breast cancer awareness through early detection, education, treatment, support and equipment at LMH. We ask that you consider joining us in this mission by making a donation to the Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer Dance. Our goal this year is to raise at least $68,000!
One in eight women will get breast cancer. Think about eight women you know – your mom, wife, sister, aunt, friend, co-worker, employee, neighbor. Early detection is the key to surviving breast cancer. When found early, the survival rate at five years is 96 percent. Each year 150 women in our region have had mammograms as a result of the Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer event, with many other receiving education and support. LMH has significantly enhanced the quality of care to both men and women in our community through the coordinated services that its staff provides. You can help all women and have a great time by “Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer”!
Recently, LMH was named as one of the nation’s Top 100 Hospitals nationwide by Truven Health Analytics. This is the first time LMH has been recognized with this prestigious award. No other hospitals in Kansas or Missouri made the 2013 list. This award belongs to our community and individuals like YOU who have made financial contributions to support LMH.
We greatly appreciate your generous donations to this cause in previous years and hope that you will join us again this year in “Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer”/ Community support is critical to our success in this endeavor, and we know that we can count on you for your support! If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact Kathy Clausing-Willis at (785) 505-6134.
Sincerely,
Amy Gustin, Event Co-Chair

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Bone Marrow Drive and Mario Chalmers Autograph Signing - Saturday, July 27th from 12:00 - 2:00PM at Crown Toyota Showroom!
 |
| The Light the Night Walk is the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s family focused event held each Fall to raise much needed funds for research and support for our patients and their families. Light the night is a family focused carnival and walk where participants walk down Massachusetts Street at dusk carrying illuminated lanterns. The inspiration and funds raised from this event go to help fund a variety of local programs. Locally, one of our primary goals is to help grow the national bone marrow registry. If you are between the ages of 18-55, registering as a potential donor is as simple as filling out a form and swabbing your cheek! By signing up for the registry you are able to join in the fight against blood cancers and could be a match to save a life. |

Avalon Interior Praised as One of 2013's Best
We already know how beautiful the newly redesigned Avalon is, both inside and out. And others are starting to take notice as well.
The Avalon's interior was honored this week by Ward's Auto as on of 2013's 10 best. As Toyota continues to make a place for itself in the full-size sedan market while still appealing to a younger driver, Ward's described Avalon as "the most luxurious non-luxury car tested in the competition." The only other full-size sedan to make the list was the Cadillac XTS.
Ward's praised Avalon's exterior for its "impeccable build quality" as well as its advanced technological features and rich materials. Ward's was also impressed with the depth of Avalon's tiered, "seemingly floating" instrument panel and its glowing center cup holders.
Leave it to people who use words for a living to come up with great new ways to praise Toyota's quality and luxury. Don't hesitate to share such singing praise with potential buyers of all ages.

Toyota Hybrid Sales Hit 5 Million Mark Worldwide
The hybrid revolution began in July of 2000, with Toyota leading the way with the Prius. And now, thirteen years later, Prius is still in the forefront of automotive and environmental technology.
Toyota announced this weeek that it has now sold 5 million hybrids worldwide, with 2 million of those being sold in the U.S. alone. Besides saving drivers money to the tune of about 3 billion gallons of gas, hybrids have also helped the auto industry shrink its carbon footprint by keeping about 34 million tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Toyota, the leader in hybrid technology, is not slowing down when it comes to its commitment to this technology. Since that first Prius hit the streets 13 years ago, Toyota has put 18 more hybrid models on the road, with another 18 planned for rollout by 2015.
Over the next few days, Toyota will be celebrating this amazing milestone on the Toyota USA and Prius Facebook pages, as well as on our muticultural Facebook pages, Twiitter, Instagram and Google+. All of the company's social media channels will feature a new "5 Million" cover image, a post and video thanking hybrid owners for their support, and posts over the next five days that will highlight key moments in the history of Toyota's hybrid cars.
In addition, a commemorative Toyota Hybrid Nation badge will be made available to both hybrid owners and sales associates. This is just the beginning of an extensive campaign, so be sure to stay in touch with all of Toyota's social channels over the next few days to see everything that's happening.
