Since March of 2009 Pohanka’s “Pay it Forward” program has donated $207,562.00 to over 520 different local non-profit organizations & causes chosen by our customers! This leading group of Maryland car dealers is happy to serve the community!

Our goal is to keep helping the community with this program. However, we can only do this if we continue to inspire commerce. This money is being taken directly from our marketing efforts, so please help us by spreading the word to your supporters, board members, employees, family, and friends. Wtih your efforts to market “Pohanka Pays it Forward”we are confident that we will be able to continue this program through 2010 and beyond. We thank you for helping us help the community!
