Abra Community Days Car Show Raises $5,500 for Bismarck Cancer Center and Brings Community Together

Hosted by Abra Auto Body Bismarck and Buller Automotive, the annual event celebrated community, philanthropy, and collaboration, with this year's festivities featuring a pink-themed focus in support of the Bismarck Cancer Center and the individuals and families it serves.

Attendees enjoyed a full day of activities, including a community car show, vendor expo, food trucks, children's activities, raffle auction, appearances from the Bismarck Larks and Bismarck Bobcats, and opportunities for local organizations to connect with residents. The event also welcomed numerous sponsors and community partners whose support helped make the day possible.

One of the event's most anticipated moments was Buller Automotive's annual vehicle gifting ceremony. This year, a fully restored 2019 Toyota Camry was presented to a deserving recipient, continuing a longstanding tradition of giving back to local residents in need of reliable transportation.

The vehicle restoration was made possible through a collaborative effort involving Buller Automotive, Abra Auto Body Bismarck, North Dakota State College of Science's Collision Engineering Technology program, PPG, United Electric Paint Supply, MPA Group/Burnsville Toyota, Fargo Bumper, Elite Dent, New Song Church, and numerous other industry partners who donated parts, materials, labor, and services.

"Abra Community Days is all about bringing people together for a purpose greater than ourselves," said Jeremy Buller, owner of Abra Auto Body Bismarck. "Seeing our community rally around the Bismarck Cancer Center, support local families, and come together to help make a meaningful vehicle gift possible is incredibly rewarding. We're grateful to every sponsor, volunteer and attendee who helped make this year's event such a success."

The event was supported by Premier Sponsors Bismarck Motor Company and Hyundai of Mandan, along with Gold Sponsors Elite Dent and School Products and Equipment, and a wide range of community and raffle sponsors that helped enhance the attendee experience while supporting fundraising efforts.

"The Abra Community Days Car Show is a perfect example of how our franchisees leverage their businesses to create meaningful impact in the communities they serve," said Damien Reyna, Chief Operating Officer, Driven Brands Collision Group. "Through fundraising, community partnerships and the vehicle gifting program, the team demonstrated the power of coming together to make a real difference in people's lives. We are proud of everyone involved in making this event a success."

The annual Abra Community Days Car Show continues to serve as a celebration of community, generosity and relationships, providing a platform for local businesses to engage with residents, raising critical funds for charitable causes, and creating lasting positive impacts throughout the Bismarck area.
