Upstate Auto Dealer Spreads Christmas Cheer

 

Less than 24 hours after organizers of an annual Christmas event to give gifts to children at Miracle Hill said the holiday tradition was in jeopardy, Best Chevrolet in Easley donated $1,000 to the Miracle Hill Children’s Home in Pickens County.

This is the second year in a row that Best Chevrolet has donated money to the Miracle Hill cause during the holidays.

“We have a soft spot for Children at Best Chevrolet,” said Peter Mirante, the dealership’s owner. “Miracle Hill does such a great job in the community that we are honored to help.”

The annual toy drive for Miracle Hill has been spearheaded by Michael Hedrick of Michael’s Pizzeria in downtown Easley for the past decade. Area residents take names from a Christmas tree in the restaurant’s main area or donate money to provide gifts for children at the Miracle Hill Children’s home.

The annual event features a Christmas Eve dinner at his restaurant for the children where they get to open presents, Hedrick said. Best Chevrolet’s donation along with several others will help make the event a reality, but Hedrick said the general community still is encouraged to donate items.
