The final results of the Syracuse Auto Expo Charity Preview were be revealed on Thursday, March 23rd at Strada Mia. Fourteen charities were presented with checks that they brought back to their communities. This year ticket sales totaled well over $291,000 making the 2017 event a record breaker! Chairpersons Gino Barbuto and Jim Barr were thrilled with the results. “The generosity of this community and the auto dealer’s commitment to making Central New York a better place is what makes this event such a success. Thanks to the support of not only the attendees, but the underwriters who help pay for this event, these funds will go directly to the children and families across our area.” The 19th Annual Charity Preview kicked off the Auto Expo on Wednesday, February 15th. Since its inception, the “best party in town” has raised just over $3 million dollars.
