Reno, NV – This back-to-school season, Dolan Toyota is making a big difference for students right here in Northern Nevada. As part of its continued commitment to local education, Dolan Toyota is honored to be one of 650 Toyota dealerships selected for Kids In Need Foundation (KINF) and Toyota’s partnership in the fourth annual Big Summer Giveback Program. As a part of this program, Dolan Toyota provided 400 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to students including 240 going to Mariposa Dual Language Academy and another 160 to Stead Elementary.
Dolan Toyota is one of more than 55 Toyota dealerships across the country to make an additional $10,000 direct investment in local schools, ensuring that students in the community have the tools they need to learn and thrive.
Through KINF’s Supply a Student program, more than 77,000 students nationwide will receive new backpacks and supplies this year. Since the program’s inception in 2022, Toyota and its dealers have donated more than $5.6 million, supporting over 200,000 students across the country.
