Outreach at Missouri Auto Auction
Missouri Auto Auction recently lent a helping hand to Bree’s Gift, a nonprofit organization that honors the life of the late Bree Isabel Johnley (2015-2019) by providing families looking to adopt with up to 100% of the funds needed to do so.
Jennie Johnley, Bree’s mother and the founder of the organization, was formerly the national account manager at Missouri Auto Auction.
The auction teamed up with Bree’s Gift for the third straight year and raised $70,000 for the organization through the sale of a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle, Kansas City Chiefs tickets and more
“I am so proud of the team at Missouri Auto Auction” Johnley said in a news release. “It has been over five years since I worked at the auction, and the dealers and the customers haven’t forgotten about me.
“The money that we raise every year at this event helps so many families achieve their dreams of adopting children into their family, and I couldn’t be more proud of the love and support we receive from the customers at Missouri Auto Auction”.
The auction’s general manager, Justin Brown, said: “We are very proud to partner with this amazing organization. The participation and generosity shown by our dealers and business partners in support of Bree’s Gift amazes me year after year.”
Missouri Auto Auction owner Cody Boswell said: “This event is one of the best events we do each year. It makes your heart feel good helping these families.”
