Some of the organizations and programs we support include:

Clothe-A-Child is a Christmas Tradition at Ray Skillman Auto Group. Throughout the year the staff elects to contribute a dollar amount each week, at the end of the year the cumulative amount is matched by Ray Skillman himself.

Since 1998, Hyundai Hope On Wheels has made it their mission to help find a cure for childhood cancer and support the families in the fight. If you would like to support we ask that you join us by making a donation to Hyundai Hope On Wheels. This ensures we can continue to fund lifesaving research.
