Community Service 2024

The Community Service Committee has been hard at work in 2024, supporting various projects that positively impact the communities around us. Here are some highlights from our initiatives:

Tool Scholarship

In 2023, PCA Potomac established a “Tool Scholarship” in partnership with Montgomery College’s Automotive Technology Program. This scholarship is awarded to graduating students who demonstrate a strong commitment to the automotive technology field and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. The funds help students purchase the tools necessary for their careers, with Snap-On Tools matching the scholarship award, doubling its value. This year, two deserving recipients were awarded this scholarship.

Camp Porsche

For the third consecutive year, school-aged children from Jefferson County (WV) Parks and Recreation, along with their camp counselors, participated in Camp Porsche at Summit Point Motorsports Park. This summer camp experience is filled with car-themed activities, and charity laps are held to support the local recreational program.

PCA Rock the Summit Club Race & Erin Levitas Foundation

Held at Summit Point Motorsports Park, this race wouldn’t be complete without the silent auction benefitting the Erin Levitas Foundation. In 2024, the auction raised a record $69,298 to support early education sexual assault prevention programs in local schools. For more information, visit erinlevitas.org.

Hope Dealer Project

We continued our support for the Hope Dealer Project, a grassroots organization in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle. This program provides crucial mental health and substance abuse recovery services to individuals and families, helping save lives in the local community.

Hurricane Helene Relief Fund

PCA Potomac was asked by the Wilderness Trail Region PCA to assist in hurricane recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene. The students of David Crockett High School and their families are in need of support as they rebuild their lives. To donate, please CLICK HERE. Each “ticket” represents a $10 donation, and you can donate more by selecting additional tickets. Checks can be sent to: Wilderness Trail Region PCA, 136 W Main St., Kingsport, TN 37660

Every contribution, no matter the size, will have a significant impact on these students and their families. PCA Potomac members have already made generous donations, and PCA member Chip Taylor has personally traveled to the affected area to assist with recovery efforts.

Toys for Tots

We end the year by supporting the US Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program with monetary and toy donations. Please CLICK HERE to access the Amazon wish list. The Toys for Tots program in DC aims to collect 7,500 toys for local families. Select a gift starting at just $10, and everything will be shipped directly to the USMC warehouse in DC. Your donation will bring joy to a child this holiday season!
