Parkers Chrysler Community Connection donated $5,202 for its Kids Care edition to support BGC Okanagan Infant Development Program, Dragonfly Pond Family Society and Agur Lake Camp.

Parkers Chrysler general manager Jim Tabler recently presented cheques of $1,734 to each of the three organizations.

“We are thrilled to offer our support to these outstanding organizations. Thank you to everyone in the community that supports these and similar programs that make the area somewhere to live and be proud of,” said Tabler. “We hope to continue in the future and to make this an annual event. Now that we have a benchmark, we hope to grow our support in years to come.”

For Parkers Chrysler, this is the start of a new Community Connections initiative to give back to numerous non-profits throughout the South Okanagan.

Last year, the South Okanagan Women in Need Society and Discovery House, an addiction recovery program were on the other end of a $30,000 donation from Parkers Chrysler Jeep Dodge on Oct. 11, 2022.

Each group received $15,000, courtesy of a cheque presentation from Parkers’ general manager Jim Tabler.
