From team member Matt Bohach: "My local Cox Automotive coworkers and I took some time yesterday for a #kindnessdrive to Habitat for Humanity's ReStore in Akron, Ohio. We donated some items, donated some cash, and bought items at the store, which supports this important charitable organization. Being stuck in the house more often means everyone needs affordable and safe housing. Thanks to Adam Ernst, Chad Joeright, Dennis McGuinness, Chris Donato, Chris Osborne, Carol Campbell, and Eric Sanata for banding together." That's another $25 donation from Cox Automotive to the American Red Cross as a result of Matt's post! Here's the deal: Until September 13, share a public post on social media that shows how you're using your vehicle to "be kind." Use the hashtag #KindnessDrive so we can see it. For every post we see, we'll make a $25 donation to the American Red Cross to fund the purchase of another emergency response vehicle. These response vehicles help transport Red Cross staff and supplies to provide relief in disasters or emergencies (think Hurricane Laura).
A recent #KindnessDrive that should make a lot of school children, teachers, and school staff happy! Thanks to team members Shannon Newman, Stephanie Schwartz, Kristy Thompson, and Steve Mitchell! Shannon writes: #KindnessDrive 2020. Helping "Stuff the Bus" for Family Resource Center!! I challenge my family, friends and COX Automotive family to participate in their own #KindnessDrive! Another #KindnessDrive post means another $25 donation from us to the American Red Cross toward the purchase of an emergency response vehicle. Until September 13, tag #KindnessDrive in a social media post to show how you're using your vehicles to be kind.
You've seen the videos on social media. Drive-by graduation or birthday celebrations, food deliveries to neighbors in need ? or parades and "honk-a-thons" to honor our healthcare heroes to name just a few. Every day, we are turning to our vehicles to drive kindness and keep connected to our communities during the pandemic. You've likely participated in some form or another already. And we'd like to know about it! Show us in a social post how your vehicle has helped you perform acts of kindness. Be sure to use the #KindnessDrive hashtag and make sure your post is public. For every post, we'll make a $25 donation to the American Red Cross to fund the purchase of an emergency response vehicle. So, take a #KindnessDrive with us and share the good you and your vehicle are doing!

We celebrated Juneteenth last week and made an announcement to update our community on how we're using our $1 million fund to support social justice and civil and human rights. Read more below. Repost. . . It’s fitting that today on the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth — when many in our country recognize the strength, resilience and often painful history of Black Americans — we share an update about our commitment to racial and social justice for all our fellow citizens. We had an open dialogue with Cox employees on which organizations our recently established $1 million fund should support, and we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be committing funds to: Equal Justice Initiative, United Negro College Fund, National Urban League as well as the National Center for Civil and Human Rights (NCCHR) and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Action. #juneteenth #lifeatcox
As millions of people across the country raise their voices in response to the senseless killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery and the ongoing problem of racism and injustices, we are taking the next few days to share the perspectives of our employees and communicate some of the immediate ways the Cox family of businesses is responding. This must be a turning point in our nation’s history. https://bit.ly/2XSLn6Q Alvin Anderson, a 17-year Cox employee, shares his perspective on this wake-up call for the nation.
There is no place for systemic racism or discrimination in our society. The way things have been must change, and we stand together with the black community. Today, we established a $1 million fund to help organizations that support social justice and civil and human rights. We know this is a first step and we pledge to do more, both within our company and in our communities.

The James M. Cox Foundation recently announced a local gift of $25K to St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance of Phoenix, AZ - a grant that will provide 175,000 meals to area residents in need. In conjunction with the grant, a group of Cox Automotive and Cox Communications employees volunteered together last week (while practicing social distancing guidelines, of course) to assist the St. Mary's team in preparing food boxes for local distribution to more than 400 families.
