Kia Motors America (KMA) is helping to give back to some of the country’s highest-need schools this holiday season by teaming up with DonorsChoose.org. This organization is a crowdfunding charity that has helped to raise over $380 million for various public schools in the fifteen years since it was first founded by Charles Best, a former teacher.

For this season, DonorsChoose.org set out on a “Holidays on Us” road tour that was sponsored by Kia. Throughout this week, a series of Teacher appreciation events were held in San Diego, Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, using the 2016 Optima to travel from place to place. This tour has been designed to provide flash funding of close to $500,000 to eligible projects in each of those areas.

“Kia and our dealers are dedicated to helping DonorsChoose.org meet its five-year goal and continue making a positive and lasting difference for students and teachers in need,” said Tim Chaney, vice president, marketing communications, KMA.  “We encourage people to visit DonorsChoose.org/Kia to learn how they can make a difference for as little as $1.”
