All of the Conicelli dealerships in Conshohocken and Springfield have participated every year, and the 2024 initiative has resulted in 1,808 new winter coats being donated to the following grassroots organizations:
- 433 coats to Carson Valley Children's Aid in Norristown

Since the program started in 2008, the Conicelli dealerships have donated 23,818 coats!
As always, we're proud of the opportunity to make this donation to local organizations that serve the children of our community, and look forward to continue spreading the warmth in 2025!
