Genesis Grand Opening in Chandler

Genesis, the luxury automotive brand, has recently opened a new retail facility in Chandler, Arizona. This grand opening marks not only a new chapter for the brand but also a significant commitment to the community. In collaboration with the Genesis Inspiration Foundation, Genesis of Chandler has announced a hefty donation of $30,000 aimed at enhancing youth sports and arts initiatives in the local area.

Community Engagement and Contribution

On February 3, 2025, Genesis of Chandler unlocked its doors with a resounding promise to uplift the younger generation in the Valley. The funds will directly support two remarkable organizations: Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley and Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona. This initiative reflects Genesis's ongoing dedication to fostering community relationships and providing opportunities for the youth.

Funding for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley plays a pivotal role in the lives of over 16,000 K-12 youth every year. Offering affordable afterschool and summer programs, the organization helps empower young individuals to become responsible and caring members of society. The funding from Genesis is particularly targeted toward the BGCAZ Athletics division, which runs various youth sports leagues, including soccer, basketball, and flag football.

Sam Fowler, the Chief Development Officer at Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley, expressed gratitude towards Genesis for their generous contribution, indicating that this funding would allow the organization to make quality sports programs accessible to a broader audience.

Empowering Through the Arts

Equally important is the support for Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona, a nonprofit that utilizes art to transform trauma into resilience for vulnerable children. Their model, "Art + Mentors = Resilience," focuses on connecting young participants with mentors and providing them with arts activities that spur personal growth and healing. According to Jodie Sprayberry, the Vice President of Philanthropy, this donation will enable Free Arts to extend its outreach and offer enriching arts experiences to even more children in need.

Genesis's Commitment to Social Responsibility

The donations come as part of Genesis Gives, a corporate social responsibility program dedicated to improving access to youth sports and arts education in under-resourced communities. Since its inception, Genesis Gives has donated nearly $1.8 million nationwide, reinforcing their mission to make a tangible impact through their philanthropic efforts.

A Vision for the Future

"At Genesis, we believe in the transformative power of opportunity, whether it’s on the field or through the arts," says Tedros Mengiste, COO of Genesis Motor North America. He emphasizes that this initiative aligns with the company’s vision of social responsibility and community empowerment. With exciting sports and arts opportunities being made available to the youth, Genesis is taking significant strides towards creating a brighter future for the community.

The Genesis brand, known for its luxury automotive offerings and commitment to excellence, is keen on expressing its cultural values through meaningful contributions. The establishment of the Chandler facility, combined with substantial donations to local organizations, highlights Genesis’s vision not just as a car manufacturer, but as a community leader dedicated to nurturing its neighborhoods.

As Genesis expands its footprint throughout North America, its commitment to social responsibility ensures that the communities it operates in will continue to thrive, showcasing the brand’s dedication to its customers as more than just clients—seeing them instead as valued community members deserving of opportunity and support.
