With showrooms and factory authorized service centers located in Goshen, Vails Gate, Beacon, Middletown and Poughkeepsie, Healey Brothers is known throughout the Hudson Valley as the premier dealer of Chevrolet, Buick, Ford, LINCOLN, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Kia, Hyundai and Mitsubishi vehicles. But, according to one of their employees, it’s the company’s “big ol’ heart” that wins them accolades.

Laura, an employee of Healey Brothers, reached out to the JDRF office prior to the Hudson Valley’s One Walk to ask about potential opportunities to involve her company. Laura was already registered as a team captain with fellow co-workers joining her efforts, but she knew the company would support her further if she simply asked. After talking through several different ideas, Healey Brothers came up with an idea of their own: for every car sold in the month of September, Healey would make a donation to JDRF.

On October 3^rd, Laura and her rain-soaked team showed up early to the Hudson Valley’s One Walk. They brought along a Healey pick-up truck filled with bottles of water for our walkers and a check for $2,500!

Special thanks to Laura for asking for Healey’s support and a big thank you to Healey Brothers for proving that they truly are a local company with a big ol’ heart.
