Steet Ponte Ford is proud to once again participate in this annual winter clothing drive alongside the Steet Ponte Auto Group. Each year, our employees, customers and community members come together to donate new winter clothing to children who need it most. Last year, our community showed just how generous it can be. Together, the Steet Ponte Auto Group collected and donated a record-breaking 1,400+ winter items, including coats, hats, snow pants, gloves, mittens, scarves and snow boots. This year, our Yorkville-area Steet Ponte stores will be donating winter outerwear to schools in Utica and Rome.

At Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln, we love seeing our passion for vehicles bring people together—but even better is when that passion can help support an important cause in our community. We were proud to recently sponsor the CABVI Vehicles for Vision Community Car & Motorcycle Show & Invitational in Utica. As part of our sponsorship, we also had the opportunity to showcase a vehicle at the event alongside an impressive collection of classic, custom and specialty vehicles. Hosted by the Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI), Vehicles for Vision is an annual event that brings car and motorcycle enthusiasts together while raising money to support CABVI's vision services. The event featured incredible vehicles, food, raffles, music, prizes and plenty of opportunities for the community to come together. Supporting CABVI's Mission CABVI has been serving Central New York since 1929, with a mission to assist people who are blind or visually impaired in achieving their highest level of independence. The organization provides a wide range of services, including low vision care, vision rehabilitation, occupational therapy, orientation and mobility, educational services, technology training, support services and adaptive sports and recreation programs. The Vehicles for Vision program itself has a long history of supporting that mission. Established in 1986, the program was created as a way to raise funds for CABVI. Today, proceeds from Vehicles for Vision continue to help fund programs and services for people who are blind or visually impaired. We were honored to be part of an event that combines something our team loves— vehicles—with an opportunity to give back to the community. A big thank-you to CABVI for putting together such a great event and to everyone who attended, participated, sponsored, donated and helped make the Vehicles for Vision Car Show a success. At Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln, we're proud to support organizations like CABVI that work every day to make a difference throughout Central New York. Thank you for letting us be part of Vehicles for Vision!

What’s better than a day at the ballpark? A day at the ballpark with your Steet Ponte family! ⚾ This year, the Steet Ponte Auto Group took our team spirit on the road for our first-ever Steet Ponte Auto Group bus trip to see the New York Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox! The idea for the trip came from Kathy Williams of Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln, who did an incredible job organizing and bringing this first-time event to life. We had team members representing almost all of our Steet Ponte stores join us for a day filled with baseball, great food, drinks and plenty of laughs. And Mother Nature certainly cooperated! We were treated to beautiful weather as we enjoyed the game from our group seating area, complete with lunch and drinks. It was the perfect setting to relax, enjoy some baseball and spend time with coworkers outside of the dealerships. While the Yankees and Red Sox provided plenty of action on the field, the best part of the day was simply getting everyone together. With team members from across the Auto Group along for the trip, it was a great opportunity to connect with coworkers we may not get to see every day and enjoy a memorable experience together. A huge thank-you to Kathy Williams for coming up with the idea and putting so much time and effort into organizing such a fantastic day. She set the bar pretty high for our first Steet Ponte bus trip! We’re already looking forward to doing it again—and who knows where the next Steet Ponte adventure will take us! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first Yankees vs. Red Sox bus trip such a success. We can’t wait for the next one! ⚾🚌
