COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The Palladino Auto Group is committed to supporting local community initiatives. We strongly believe, to grow forward, you must give back, and as leaders in the community, we understand the importance of creating partnerships with local organizations who share our passion for helping others.
We take great pride in hosting the Palladino Auto Group Golf Classic for NEO Kids, our annual golf tournament to raises funds to support the health of children and youth in Northeast Ontario. Funds raised are used to help advance healthcare through the purchase of medical equipment, investments in capital, and other programs advancing patient care for children, youth and their families. Vince Palladino took over the Brian Savage Mulligans for NEO Kids Golf Classic golf from his life-long friend, Brian Savage in 2015. We have been fortunate to surpass our fundraising goals each year – having raised over $750,000 to date. Along with the tournament, the Palladino family personally donated $500,000 in November of 2016. “This golf tournament is about members of our community coming together to support pediatric care in Northeastern Ontario” says Vince. That is what we are committed to do for years to come.
