Cardinaleway cares: Spreading holiday cheer

The holiday season is here again and Cardinaleway Las Vegas wants to help make a difference in Southern Nevada.

Cardinaleway Las Vegas, which operates both Cardinaleway Mazda and Cardinaleway Acura dealerships on West Sahara Avenue just west of Rainbow Boulevard, is partnering with Toys for Tots and other local charities to bring joy and warmth to those in need.

“It’s important to give back to the Las Vegas community,” said Stephen Beecher, general manager for both dealerships. “And this holiday season we are asking to help children in need, to come forward and make a difference with toys. We are also collecting warm clothing to help individuals of all ages in need.”

Beecher said both Cardinaleway dealerships are accepting donations for Toys for Tots for the third straight holiday season.

Donations can be dropped off now through Dec. 15, Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., at either Cardinaleway Acura or Cardinaleway Mazda.

Drop boxes are now available to donate unwrapped toys that are suitable for all ages. The Marine

In addition, the dealerships are accepting new and lightly worn, warm clothing items for individuals of all ages. “From socks and hats to longsleeve shirts, pants and blankets, your contributions will help provide warmth and comfort to those who need it most,” Beecher said.
