Steet Ponte Auto Group Partners with the Utica Zoo for a Wild Year Ahead!

Steet Ponte Lincoln Supports the 9th Annual Coats for Kids Drive The Steet Ponte Auto Group has always believed in supporting the communities that have supported our family of dealerships for generations. This winter, Steet Ponte Lincoln is proud to continue that tradition through our 9th Annual Coats for Kids Drive. Each year, this drive brings our employees, customers and neighbors together for an important cause: helping local children stay warm during the cold winter months. The response from our community has been incredible. Last year, we collected and donated a record-breaking 1,400+ items of winter outerwear, including coats, hats, snow pants, gloves, mittens, scarves and snow boots. This year, the Yorkville-area Steet Ponte Auto Group stores will be donating winter clothing to local schools in Utica and Rome. Help Us Make a Difference We are accepting NEW winter clothing for kids of all ages and sizes from October 1 through November 2. You can donate items such as: Coats and winter jackets Snow pants Snow boots Hats Gloves and mittens Scarves Other new winter outerwear Donations can be dropped off at Steet Ponte Lincoln during normal business hours. We are so proud of the generosity our community has shown over the past nine years, and we hope to continue that momentum this year. Every donation, no matter how big or small, can help provide a local child with something they need to get through a cold New York winter. Help us make a difference. Bring your new winter clothing donation to Steet Ponte Lincoln and join us for the 9th Annual Coats for Kids Drive!

What’s better than a day at the ballpark? A day at the ballpark with your Steet Ponte family! ⚾ This year, the Steet Ponte Auto Group took our team spirit on the road for our first-ever Steet Ponte Auto Group bus trip to see the New York Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox! The idea for the trip came from Kathy Williams of Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln, who did an incredible job organizing and bringing this first-time event to life. We had team members representing almost all of our Steet Ponte stores join us for a day filled with baseball, great food, drinks and plenty of laughs. And Mother Nature certainly cooperated! We were treated to beautiful weather as we enjoyed the game from our group seating area, complete with lunch and drinks. It was the perfect setting to relax, enjoy some baseball and spend time with coworkers outside of the dealerships. While the Yankees and Red Sox provided plenty of action on the field, the best part of the day was simply getting everyone together. With team members from across the Auto Group along for the trip, it was a great opportunity to connect with coworkers we may not get to see every day and enjoy a memorable experience together. A huge thank-you to Kathy Williams for coming up with the idea and putting so much time and effort into organizing such a fantastic day. She set the bar pretty high for our first Steet Ponte bus trip! We’re already looking forward to doing it again—and who knows where the next Steet Ponte adventure will take us! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first Yankees vs. Red Sox bus trip such a success. We can’t wait for the next one! ⚾🚌

There’s nothing better than a beautiful summer day on the golf course with great people—and this year’s Steet Ponte Auto Group Annual Golf Tournament delivered all of that and more! This year, our annual tournament was held at Holland Heights Golf Course in Herkimer, NY, bringing together team members and friends from across the Steet Ponte Auto Group for a day of golf, food, prizes and plenty of fun. We were proud to have representation from all of our Steet Ponte stores, along with several of the businesses we’re fortunate to work with throughout the year, including New Hartford Window Cleaning and Zeibart. It was a great opportunity to step away from the dealerships, enjoy some friendly competition and spend time together outside of the office. A huge thank-you goes to Barb Mazzotta of Steet Ponte Mazda, who coordinated this year’s tournament and put together an incredible day for everyone who attended. From the moment golfers hit the course, there was something to look forward to! Golfers were treated to hot dogs and hamburgers at the turn, a drink tent to keep everyone refreshed throughout the day, and tons of prizes provided by our manufacturers and Steet Ponte stores. In fact, everyone went home with something! And, of course, the day wasn’t complete without a great meal. After finishing up on the course, everyone gathered for dinner at Holland Heights, giving us the perfect opportunity to relax, share some laughs and wrap up an unforgettable day. We couldn’t have asked for better weather or a better group of people to spend the day with. Events like this are a great reminder of what makes the Steet Ponte Auto Group special—not only the dealerships and brands we represent, but the people who make up our team and the business relationships we’ve built throughout our community. We also want to give a special shoutout to Valerie Rinaldi of Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln for helping make this event such a success! Thank you to Barb, Valerie, our participating stores, our business partners, our manufacturers and everyone who came out to golf with us. We’re already looking forward to next year! Until then, we’ll see you on the course! ⛳
