Team Ryan Automotive: Our Second Year in Buford, 2016

July 18, 2016 | Team Ryan Automotive

Team Ryan Automotive's second year in Buford included a Best of Gwinnett voting campaign and a fundraiser for the local Father/Daughter Dance. These two updates from 2016 capture a part of the shop's early involvement in the community. The original photographs are kept here alongside the stories behind them.

Best of Gwinnett Voting in 2016

That summer, the shop asked customers to vote for Team Ryan Automotive in the Best of Gwinnett 2016 campaign. The post thanked people for their support and shared the photograph below, taken at the entrance to the Buford shop.

A Fundraiser for Buford's Father/Daughter Dance

In July 2016, Team Ryan Automotive shared a fundraiser for Buford's Father/Daughter Dance. Dan Ryan planned to take part in the Bone Frog Challenge on August 27, 2016, with a fundraising goal of $1,000.

The original appeal described the dance as an activity that brought families together. It also explained that proceeds would go back to the community through scholarships and charitable gifts. The photograph at the top of this article accompanied that fundraiser.
