Dedicated to making a positive impact, we contribute and host charity fundraisers with many leading organizations and amazing people throughout our community on a regular basis. While giving back to the community, our efforts are not only able to create an immediate positive impact, but they help support and build a solid foundation for years to come.
Some of the Charity and Fundraising Events We Support / Sponsor
Sleepyhead Beds:
Sleepyhead Beds was founded in 2010 where it set out with a simple mission, to provide a proper place to sleep for the children of the Kansas City metro area. Through volunteer efforts, Sleepyhead Beds collects gently used beds and bedding, sanitizes them, and delivers them to families in need. To support this effort, we regularly host bed drives and has even been able to help Sleepyhead Beds receive a $25,000 grant from Mercedes-Benz USA. By providing children places to sleep; something so basic, the children realize greater self-esteem, motivation, and a feeling of safety. Grades improve when a child has a bed to sleep in.
The Art of the Car Concours:
Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City along with our dealership are Presenting Sponsors in the Annual Art of the Car Concours, which is held on the campus of the Kansas City Art Institute. Bringing together car enthusiasts from near and far, the Art of the Car Concours is a celebration of vehicles as pieces of art. Proceeds funded by the Art of the Car Concours are than donated to support local education by providing funds for the KCAI Scholarship Foundation.

Harvester Community Food Bank, the areas only food bank, has set out on a mission to feed hungry people and work to end hunger tomorrow. Supporting the efforts, we have hosted a separate “Food Truck Showdowns” at the dealership.
