Balise Tire Campaign Raises Nearly $4,000 for Junior Achievement

WEST SPRINGFIELD — Balise Auto Group has a tradition of running a semi-annual tire campaign, Tires to Inspire, every fall and spring. For each set of four tires purchased at a Balise dealership over a two-month period, it will make a donation to an organization that supports local youth.

Over the last two months, Balise’s Tires to Inspire campaign raised $3,738 for Junior Achievement of Western Massachusetts, an organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices.

“At Balise, we believe that the road to a brighter future begins right in our own community,” said Ben Sullivan, chief operating officer of Balise Auto Group. “Together with our customers and local organizations like Junior Achievement, we’re proud to continue driving positive change, one mile at a time.”

Amie Miarecki, president of Junior Achievement of Western Massachusetts, expressed her gratitude, noting that “Balise has been an invaluable partner, and we thank them for their commitment to Junior Achievement. In particular, this campaign spreads the word about our mission to empower young people and gives us the support we need to grow our reach in our community.”
