Community Partnerships

Community Partnerships

At Ed Howard Mazda, we believe that being part of a community means more than selling cars-it means investing in people, building connections, and supporting the causes that matter most to our neighbors. For decades, our dealership has proudly called this community home, and over the years, we've learned that our greatest achievements aren't measured in sales, but in the relationships we've built and the impact we've made together.

Our team understands that a dealership is more than a place to buy a vehicle-it's a gathering spot, a resource, and a neighbor you can count on. That's why we dedicate ourselves to meaningful partnerships that allow us to give back, foster togetherness, and create lasting change. Whether it's through charitable programs that lift up families or organizations that celebrate the joy of driving, Ed Howard Mazda is committed to making a difference that extends far beyond our showroom doors.

Partnering with Toys for Tots

At Ed Howard Mazda, we believe the true spirit of the holiday season is found in giving back. That's why, year after year, our dealership proudly partners with Toys for Tots to help bring joy and hope to children in need across our community. Each holiday season, our showroom transforms into more than just a place to shop for vehicles-it becomes a drop-off location for new, unwrapped toy donations. Every toy collected here is a symbol of kindness and generosity, helping to ensure that no child wakes up without a gift to brighten their holiday morning.

For our team, Toys for Tots is more than just a charity-it's a tradition that reflects who we are. We see firsthand how our customers, neighbors, and friends rally together, filling our collection boxes with gifts that will light up a child's face. It's a powerful reminder that when a community comes together, amazing things can happen. We are humbled to play even a small part in this mission, and it means the world to us to know that our dealership is helping to create lasting holiday memories for families who need it most.

From toy cars to teddy bears, each donation carries the spirit of hope, compassion, and community-and we're proud to help deliver that joy. Together, with the support of Toys for Tots and our incredible customers, we're not just making the holidays brighter-we're building a stronger, more caring community.

Sponsoring the Southwest Miata Club

We know that driving is more than just getting from point A to point B-it's about the journey, the open road, and the community you share it with. That's why we're proud to sponsor the Southwest Miata Club, a spirited group of enthusiasts who embody the joy and adventure that makes Mazda so special. The Southwest Miata Club isn't just about cars-it's about camaraderie. From weekend cruises along scenic highways to spirited drives through winding backroads, the club brings people together who share a passion for exploration, friendship, and of course, the iconic Mazda Miata.

As a dealership, we're honored to be part of this vibrant community. Supporting the club allows us to celebrate the thrill of driving, while also strengthening connections with those who view every trip as an adventure worth remembering. Whether it's gathering for a rally, sharing stories at a meet-up, or discovering new destinations together, the Southwest Miata Club captures the heart of what it means to love the road.

We believe that cars bring people closer-not just to new places, but to each other. Through our sponsorship of the Southwest Miata Club, we're not only fueling a passion for driving-we're helping to build lasting friendships, unforgettable memories, and a stronger community of drivers who know that the best journeys are the ones shared.

More Than a Dealership-A Neighbor

At Ed Howard Mazda, we're proud to support organizations that reflect the values of kindness, connection, and community spirit. These partnerships remind us that every act of generosity, every moment shared, and every mile traveled together makes our community stronger. We look forward to continuing these traditions for years to come-because for us, being a good neighbor will always be at the heart of who we are.
