The Importance of Community
InvolvementÂ
Throughout the year,
Mercedes-Benz of Nashville works with our many partners to raise funds and
increase awareness of several worthy charities in and around Middle
Tennessee. Without a doubt, giving back to
the community is the primary motivation behind our involvement with so many
charitable organizations!
Â
On Sept. 17, 2011, Mercedes-Benz
of Nashville hosted the 1st annual Mercedes-Benz Dealer Championship Tennis
Tournament at Wildwood Swim and Tennis Club in Brentwood, Tennessee, and to
this date continues to host each year.Â
Some of the
recent wishes that we were blessed to help make come true was for our dear
friends Josh, Caroline, Sydney and Connor. Josh wanted to be an
honest-to-goodness cowboy, and so we took him and his parents to a New Mexico
dude ranch, where he was able to ride horses, rope cattle and experience
starlit campfires. Caroline wanted to visit Hawaii and swim with dolphins, so
in 2014 she and her family got to do so and even visited Pearl Harbor!
 Sydney wanted to go on a Disney Cruise, and so we helped her wish happen!
Connor's wish came true in 2008 when we could give him the Christmas of his
dreams. We are proud to be part of their memories of a lifetime.

Mercedes-Benz of
Nashville also takes great pride in participating in the Marine Corps Reserve
Toys for Tots Program every year. The goal of this program is to provide toys
for less fortunate boys and girls in the community during the Christmas season.
Aside from serving as a drop-off location, Mercedes-Benz of Nashville regularly
offers substantial discounts for those making donations. Through the combined
efforts of so many, it's the hope of everyone here at Mercedes-Benz of Nashville that
these children experience the joy and hope of the holiday season to the
fullest. Â
Â
Mercedes-Benz of
Nashville is also very proud of its affiliation with the YMCA Community Action
Project (Y-CAP), a project designed to help at-risk East Nashville students
overcome obstacles and challenges through coaching, hands-on experiences and
much needed resources. We've also worked closely with the Williamson County
Y-CAP. Another outstanding organization that we're proud to be associated
with is Team Chad. Team Chad was born out of a simple desire to help and
improve the lives of those impacted by leukemia. All those involved with this
fine organization are dedicated to fighting leukemia in the same passionate
way Chad Welch did before he lost his fight with the disease in June 2007.
Â
And perhaps inspired by all the many wonderful women in our lives,
Mercedes-Benz of Nashville has had the honor of working with the Tennessee
Breast Cancer Coalition, a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated
to improving the quality of life for individuals undergoing treatment for
breast cancer. Throughout the year, Mercedes-Benz of
Nashville works to help improve the lives of those who call Middle
Tennessee home, and our goal is always the same - to give more of ourselves and
to touch as many lives as possible.Â
Here are the other great organizations we work with:
