Be The Driving Force: DODV Campaign Kick-off!

We are kicking off our 2023 Drive Out Domestic Violence campaign, Fueled by Vern Eide Motorcars! This social media campaign will benefit Children’s Home Shelter for Family Safety. 

As staff, you get in on the early apparel ordering! The link to our Employee store is below. Please note that this is special pricing for staff only. If you have friends or family who want to order apparel this year, we will have a public store opening soon that they may order from.

You can choose your location when you check out and we will get items to each campus so you don’t have to pay for shipping. The store closes at midnight on May 31, with items delivered by the end of June. Don’t wait to order your apparel (Password: DODV23) and wear it so can you help us share the message of #DriveOutDV!

More details to come on how you can help join the movement!
