12 Days of Caring – Bend

The Holidays are officially here, which could only mean one thing at Kendall Auto Group: 12 DAYS OF CARING! Kendall’s ‘12 Days of Caring’ is a holiday event designed to give back to the markets we serve through a variety of outreach activities centered around our customers, the community, and our employees. Each year, we spend 12 days focusing on our Kendall Cares mission, giving back to local-non-profit organizations, and showing appreciation for our customers and employees. This season, we are giving back to our customers, community, and co-workers from Monday, December 5^th to Friday, December 16^th. Follow along on our social media pages to see what Kendall is doing each day and join us for some of the initiatives! To get a better idea of what we have in store, let’s get this sleigh on the road:

Day 1: Toy Drive Benefiting the Giving Plate’s Jingle Store!

Our partners at the Giving Plate are bringing back their annual Jingle Store, and Kendall Bend is hosting a Toy Drive in each dealership to collect donations from our community. The Jingle Store will be held at the River House on December 16^th and 17^th, so we will be collecting donations until then! This event is open to the community, and children ages 2-17 will receive “Jingle Bucks” to find gifts and toys for their loved ones. Join us by stopping in at your local Kendall dealerships and help spread the joy with donations!

Day 2: Fuel Giveaway

We know gas is expensive, which is why we thought of the perfect gift this season. Some of the Kendall Bend team members will be dressed in holiday costumes at local gas stations and fill up the tanks of our awesome customers. We hope you are one of the lucky recipients and leave the gas station with a full heart and tank!

Day 3: Baking Spirits Bright

Let’s be honest, most of us are just here for the Holiday cookies. Some of our Kendall Bend team members have hidden talents, with baking being one of them! We are inviting our Kendall employees to bake their best holiday treat to share with their coworkers. Not to mention, the best baker from each rooftop will receive some holiday cash to make their Holiday shopping a bit easier.

Day 4: Coffee Giveaway

Wait, but first, let ,me drink my coffee. We love you as much as you love coffee, which is why we will be purchasing coffee for our customers around town!

Day 5: Ugly Sweater Contest

Yule have to excuse our ugly sweaters… We are inviting our staff to join us in our annual ugly sweater competition! Ugliest sweater under each rooftop will receive a prize, and the pride of having the best, or ugliest, sweater.

Day 6: Annual Lighted Christmas Parade

The Kendall Auto Prineville team will be driving our holiday-themed sleigh through the Annual Lighted Christmas parade! We love the holiday season a watt, so we will be putting as many lights on a truck as we can!

Day 7: Brunch with Santa

Dear Santa, all I ask for this year is a brunch with my Kendall family. And maybe a brand-new car if you have that in the budget.

We are celebrating our staff and their hard work over the year with a brunch! Kendall team members will be joining us for pancakes, ornament decorating, photos with Santa, and more!

Day 8: Santa’s Little Helpers

We are celebrating all the amazing kids and families at the Ronald McDonald House and at St. Charles this year by delivering stockings! The holidays are a stressful time, especially when your loved ones are traveling for medical care. The Kendall Auto team called Santa to make sure he could stop by the Ronald McDonald House a bit early to spread the magic!

Day 9: Light the Night

There’s snow place like our Kendall Bend dealerships, especially when they have Christmas lights on them! Check out a couple of our Kendall dealerships at night that will be dressed in their best candy cane attire.  

Day 10: White Elephant Gift Exchange

We are inviting our Kendall Bend team to participate in a White Elephant Gift exchange! Show us your best “pretend like you like it face” and spread the joy through giving gifts.

Day 11: Toy Delivery

After collecting donations for a month, Kendall’s Elves will load up the car to deliver all gifts & toys to the Jingle Store! Join the Giving Plate at the River House on December 16^th & 17^th for this awesome event.

Day 12: Tots N’ Trucks

All Kendall Bend employees will receive one raffle ticket each day they participate in 12 Days of Caring to win an electric ride-on car! On December 16^th, one winner will be chosen from each dealership to conclude our 12 Days of Caring.
