What this fundraiser was
Not a luxury prize. Two hybrid Toyotas, no car payments, low cost to own: the most practical package we had offered. We built it for the people who responded to the Camry + Grand Highlander fundraiser.
The announcement
Raquel's winner call is the one people remember. She told us the cash would go to her family, and her reaction is the clearest answer we have to "are the winners real." The two Toyotas stayed with us and came back as the 2nd Chance Two Toyotas fundraiser in late July.
