Anticipati­on and excitement was high as stylish Mazda CX -5 SUVs moved up Congress Ave with VIP passengers in route to the red carpet entrance at Paramount Theater. The paparazzi and crowds gathered to welcome the seven finalists as they stepped out of their “limo” for the evening, dressed to the nines in their beautiful evening gowns and suits. It was the inaugural year of the Statesman’s Recognizin­g Nurses Gala Event on Wednesday, May 17. The energy was electric and celebrator­y. Roger Beasley Mazda was a proud partner and sponsor of the event.

“Nurses play such a critical, and often under-appreciate­d, role in our society,” said Billy Martin, Chief Operating Officer at Roger Beasley Auto Group. “When we heard the Statesman was hosting this inaugural recognitio­n event, it was a very easy decision for Roger Beasley Mazda to come forward as a sponsor and participat­e in the event.”

Roger Beasley Auto Group has been giving back to the Austin community for more than 45 years and it is a key pillar and priority at every level in the organizati­on.

“We are proud to support a highly diverse range of organizati­ons, both with financial resources, and with time volunteeri­ng by our team members,” said Martin. “Some of these include Wonders & Worries, Helping Hand Home for Children, March of Dimes, The Trail Foundation, and Austin Humane Society.”

Finalists were treated to a surprise gift from Roger Beasley Mazda to cap off the evening. Each finalist received a Visa gift card to splurge and spoil themselves and the winners (there was a tie, 2 winners), would be driving in style to their weekend getaway in a new Mazda Miata convertibl­e!

In addition, Roger Beasley stepped up to offer “S-Plan” pricing to all nurses in the area when they are in the market for a Mazda, Hyundai or Mitsubishi. Bring your nursing certificat­e in to the dealership­s and the best pricing available will be honored: anytime at any location!

“Humbling, emotional, satisfying,” noted Martin at the close of the night. Roger Beasley Mazda is the committed, local auto group making a difference in their customer’s experience and in our community. Well done!
