For the fifth year in a row, Dan Cummins Auto Group has contributed at least $100,000 from car sales to help abused and neglected children.

Josh Cummins and Jessica Gilbert presented CASA of Lexington with a $100,000 check on Jan. 30. The nonprofit provides advocates for abused and neglected children in seven Kentucky counties, including Scott, Bourbon and Jessamine, where there are Dan Cummins dealerships.

“The CASA mission is part of our mission, too,” Josh Cummins said. “We are proud of the fact that the work we do each day at our dealerships helps provide abused kids with help and hope.”

Dan Cummins Auto Group has now given $520,000 to CASA since 2021, and more than $650,000 since first partnering with the nonprofit organization.

“Dan Cummins is a big reason why we were able to begin expanding services to children outside of Fayette County,” said Melynda Jamison, Executive Director of CASA of Lexington. “Their ongoing support has changed the lives of hundreds of children forever. The impact of their contributions will last for generations, as we break those cycles of abuse and neglect.”

In addition to its financial support, Dan Cummins also raises awareness about the need for CASA volunteers in each of the communities where it has a dealership. And it hosts CASA Joy Tree kickoff events, which provide gifts for children in family court each December.

“Central Kentucky’s kids really are better off thanks to the generosity of Dan Cummins,” Jamison said.
