Car-Mart of Milledgeville hosts Community Fan Drive

America’s Car-Mart, Inc. announced its annual Community Fan Drive, a company tradition conducted every May and June. For over 25 years, Car-Mart has rallied its customers, associates, and partners to collect fans that are then donated to local charities chosen by each dealership.

“The Car-Mart of Milledgeville team, led by General Manager Jae Minor, is enthusiastically collecting new fans to donate to two organizations, including Overview Inc. and the Animal Rescue Foundation,” said Veronica Lynch, America’s Car-mart senior brand manager.

From now through June 30, customers can bring a new 20-inch box fan to any of Car-Mart’s 150+ dealerships in its 12-state area and drive away in a quality used vehicle for as low as $499 down.

The theme of the fan drive is ‘Savings That Will Blow You Away.’

“At America’s Car-Mart of Milledgeville, we believe in driving more than just cars. We’re committed to driving positive change on the roads we all share. Our team loves getting involved in our Community Fan Drive, and it’s awesome when our customers join us to give fans to folks in need. It’s how we help make our Milledgeville community better,” said Minor.

This promotion allows Car-Mart to reduce the down payment on vehicles, making it more affordable for customers with limited cash. It’s an incentive for customers to purchase a vehicle during the month, while also doing good for their community. With one fan at a time, Car-Mart is making vehicle ownership affordable for hardworking people.

“At Car-Mart, our mission is to help customers with their transportation needs, and this promotion represents our commitment to making vehicle ownership accessible for everyone. By reducing the down payment on vehicles, we’re helping customers with limited cash and encouraging them to invest in their future,” said Doug Campbell, chief executive officer and president.

Fans might seem like a small thing but are important in the summer heat.

A box fan can lower room temperatures, improve air flow, and comfort families without air conditioning during scorching days. By collecting and distributing these fans, Car-Mart helps ease the burden of rising energy costs and ensures more households stay safe and cool when it matters most.

The company will also serve as a fan donation destination in its communities.

As part of its Community Fan Drive, the company welcomes anyone (no purchase necessary) to donate a box fan. Fans can be dropped off Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Car-Mart of Milledgeville at 131 Roberson Mill Rd.

Northeast.

Car-Mart associates will deliver the fans to local charities in their communities in early July. For more information, visit Car-Mart.com.
