Exploring Marino CJDR’s Community Outreach

In Chicago, the team at Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram is not just selling cars; they are actively driving positive change within the community. From the vibrant neighborhoods of Skokie to the historic streets of Park Ridge, the dealership’s commitment to community involvement extends far beyond the showroom floor, reaching the very fabric of Chicago’s diverse communities.

At Marino CJDR, community engagement is more than a buzzword—it’s a way of life. The dealership’s team, from the sales staff to the service center, understands the significance of being an integral part of the neighborhoods they serve. Gratitude for the community is not just a sentiment; it’s a driving force behind the dealership’s initiatives to give back and make a difference.

In 2018, Marino CJDR demonstrated its commitment by donating an impressive $89,500 to various charities. This substantial contribution reflects the dealership’s financial strength and its genuine desire to support causes that matter to the community. Let’s take a closer look at some of the notable organizations Marino CJDR proudly supports:


Chicago Police Memorial Foundation

About The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation

The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation (CPMF) exists to honor members of law enforcement who have fallen in the line of duty. As these heroes have dedicated their lives to serving their city, the CPMF aims to honor them by supporting their families with financial assistance. Having now completed the construction of the Gold Star Families Memorial and Park located on the Chicago Lakefront, the CPMF continues to focus on fulfilling the needs of the families behind the Chicago Police Department.

About the Cancer Wellness Center

From its humble beginnings in 1989 being founded by three friends to the expansive organization it has grown to today, the Cancer Wellness Center has long been a ubiquitous source of support for those who have beat cancer and those who live with cancer. From their emotional well-being to their physical well-being, the Cancer Wellness Center strives to be a beacon of hope and support for those affected by cancer, all without additional financial strain; all services provided by the Cancer Wellness Center are free of charge.

The impetus for the creation of the Cancer Wellness Center was one major shortcoming in the cancer treatment process: the medical treatment is made clear by healthcare professionals, but it’s often left up to the patient to learn how to live with cancer and how to fight it. What better way to facilitate that kind of learning than to connect newly diagnosed patients to survivors? This buddy system was one of the first initiatives and programs provided by the Cancer Wellness Center, which has now grown to include licensed therapists and a dedicated team of exuberant volunteers. Ultimately, everyone involved with the Cancer Wellness Center has the same mission: to serve participants the absolute best care.
