February 1, 2013 – Torrance, Calif. – Toyota Financial Services has partnered with three auto remarketing firms, ADESA (www.adesa.com), Manheim (www.manheim.com), and Norwalk Auto Auctions (www.norwalkautoauction.com), to provide a donation of $464,425 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America that will be divided equally among 19 local Boys & Girls Clubs currently running Diplomas to Degrees (d2D), the organization’s college readiness program.   

Launched in 2012, d2D is a partnership between Toyota and Boys & Girls Clubs of America that provides tools, resources, and support to Club teens to help prepare them to move from high school to college graduation.   

In addition to celebrations at the various Clubs, representatives from TFS and Boys & Girls Clubs of America held a special check presentation yesterday at the Boys & Girls Club of Fullerton in Fullerton, Calif., to recognize the combined $464,425 contribution.

After presenting checks and talking about academics, everyone stopped for a bit of delicious fun!  Volunteers at the event presented Club members with ice cream sundaes. Yum!
