Drive for Team USA- August 11, 2012

Just as we have here at Perillo BMW, I’m sure most of you have enjoyed watching the Olympics the last couple of weeks. Maybe you watched Michael Phelps add his final gold medals to his collection or witnessed Gabby Douglas as she made history and broke barriers.  No matter what sport you enjoy watching, there is one thing that unites us: our love for Team USA.

This Saturday, August 11, Perillo BMW will be hosting the Drive for Team USA event at its dealership in downtown Chicago. For each test drive scheduled on the day of the event, BMW will donate $10 to support the USA Olympic and Paralympic athletes. The money raised will help future members of Team USA train and qualify for the Olympic games.

Drive for Team USA is an ongoing campaign sponsored by BMW. Keep in mind that that this opportunity will be at Perillo BMW for one day only.

To participate in this fundraising event, simply come into the Perillo BMW dealership on the day of the event. Visit http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Experience/Events/UDESummer.aspx to learn more and to reserve your spot at the event.

BMW Supports 2012 Olympics in London

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London have officially begun. Which events or athletes have you been keeping your eye on? BMW hopes you are rooting for their 2012 BMW Performance Team. BMW will be providing the team with financial support and access to BMW technologies.

This team includes 11 athletes: Ricky Berens, Matt Chrabot, Bryan Clay, Natalie Coughlin, Janet Evans, April Holmes, Jonathan Horton, Clay Johnson, Sanya Richards-Ross, Mallory Weggemann, and Evelyn Stevens. These men and women compete in sports ranging from swimming to triathlon to gymnastics. BMW is helping these athletes by modifying some of its advanced vision technology to track the velocity of the athletes as they train. This will help their coaches get a more accurate look at exactly what the athlete is doing.

BMW will also be providing a fleet of 4,000 vehicles, mostly low-emission diesel, hybrid, and electric cars, motorcycles, and even BMW bicycles to help transport officials, athletes, and their families. BMW’s famous art car collection will also be on display in a car park in East London and is free to the public.

Keep your eyes on London this summer to support your US Olympic team and you may see some BMW touches along the way.
