Charitable Contributions:

Every year, JM Family, Southeast Toyota and JM Lexus make a generous charitable contribution in the Achievers’ names in recognition of their efforts to improve the quality of life in South Florida. To further respond to the needs in our community and support the good work that is being done, in 2011 the charitable contributions on behalf of our Achievers was doubled to $40,000 – $10,000 in each category. Since the first program in 1992, more than $243,000 has been donated to deserving organizations throughout South Florida.
