Community Involvement

Anderson Automotive Group dealerships have supported our local communities for over sixty five years. Our culture emphasizes community involvement and participation in local events and charitable initiatives. Read more below for some of our most recent efforts!

Family Day

Anderson Automotive Group recently hosted a memorable Family Day  for our Greenville and Greer employees and their families at the Greenville Drive Stadium.  Employees and their families gathered to celebrate the dedication and hard work that has taken place over the last 18 months through the multiple acquisitions of new stores joining the Fred Anderson Family of Dealerships in the Upstate. The event brought together 1500 people and featured a variety of games, delicious food, and plenty of fun activities!  It was a fantastic opportunity to show how deeply we value our employees and their families, reinforcing our commitment to a culture that puts family at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to support not only the success of our business but also the well-being and connections that bind our work family together.

Trunk or Treat!

During Halloween, several of our Greenville, SC and Greer, SC hosted a "Trunk or Treat" event for the local community. Appearances were made by Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy, Captain Hook, Minions, and an adorable Unicorn. Candy and laughs were shared by all!

The Meyer Center Visits Fred Anderson Honda

The Fred Anderson Family of Dealerships hosted 40 special children from the Meyer Center on October 25th for a Wheels Field Trip at the Honda Store of Greenville.  The children learned about big cars, little cars, fast cars, and dirt bikes! We are proud to partner with the Meyer Center and help create opportunities outside the classroom for these students to learn and grow!

Operation Coat Drive

The Fred Anderson Family of Dealerships is honored to join forces with our community this winter through Operation Coat Drive. We're committed to helping those in need this winter by collecting new or lightly worn coats at any of our nine Fred Anderson Family of dealerships in Greenville and Greer. Over the years, our dedication to supporting local initiatives has been unwavering, and Operation Coat Drive is no exception. This effort helps provide warmth and comfort to individuals and families who might otherwise find it difficult to stay warm during the winter month. We're proud to continue our tradition of giving back, and we invite you to join us in keeping our community warm this winter.

Walk for Hope

Anderson Automotive Group was proud to be sponsors of the Walk for Hope event on October 13th, 2024 in Raleigh, NC. Over the past 35 years, this flagship charity event for one of our community partners, Foundation of Hope, has raised millions to improve understanding and treatment of mental illnesses, including depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, postpartum depression, schizophrenia, and anorexia.

Each year, thousands gather at the Angus Barn in Raleigh to participate in a 5K walk or run, showing support for family, friends, and community members living with mental health challenges.  We are grateful to have been part of such a significant gathering and look forward to continuing our commitment of supporting mental health advocacy.

The Meyer Center

The Meyer Center for Special Children in Greenville, SC, is a nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive services for children with developmental disabilities and their families in the Upstate of South Carolina. Established in 1959, the center aims to enhance the quality of life for children with a range of conditions, including autism, cerebral palsy, and other developmental delays. 

The goal of the Meyer Center is for all students to bridge the gap between the child with a disability and their same-age typical peers. The Meyer Center is the only place in Upstate SC where preschool-age students with disabilities can receive combined education and therapies under one roof.

Traditional school-based services focus only on a child's success at school while the Meyer Center focuses on making a child successful for life. Providing intensive services at a young age can change the trajectory of a child's long-term potential in education, employment and independent living. 

The Meyer Center remains dedicated to enriching the lives of children with disabilities so that they might reach their full potential, and Anderson Automotive Group is proud to be a partner of this organization.  

Hurricane Helene Relief

In the wake of Hurricane Helene and the devastation faced by communities in Western North Carolina, Anderson Automotive Group dealerships are committed to supporting our associates and their affected communities. Our response focuses on providing immediate relief and long-term recovery to those associates and communities those impacted by this devastating event.  

Immediately following the hurricane, all of our dealerships recognized the gravity of the situation and quickly assessed the needs of affected areas and set a joint plan into motion to provide essential supplies such as food, water, hygiene products, and other critical items to our associates.  

Within hours of identifying the needs, our logistics team sprang into action, leveraging existing relationships with local suppliers and partners to source necessary items and deliver them to Greer, SC and Asheville, NC. We established a supply chain that enabled us to gather resources swiftly, ensuring that we could meet the immediate needs of those affected. This swift action and effective response to the needs of our associates serves as a testament to devotion of our teammates to each other. 

The recovery needs in western North Carolina will remain great in the months and years to come. Anderson Automotive Group believes in the power of community and the importance of coming together in times of need. We stand with Western North Carolina and are committed to helping them recover after Hurricane Helene. 

South Carolina's American Lung Association

Our Fred Anderson Toyota of Charleston family helped to make the American Lung Association in South Carolina's 2024 LUNG FORCE Run/Walk a historic success. Over 450 participants came together for an uplifting and inspiring day on November 9th, turning Folly Beach turquoise and raising more than $147,000 to fund the Lung Association's mission to end lung cancer and lung disease.
