(KNSI) – Granite City Tire & Auto teamed up with a local elementary school to design the company’s Christmas card.
The tire and auto store partnered with first and second-graders at Pine Meadow Primary School in Sartell. General Manager Jesse Nelson talked about how the idea for the project came about. “I wanted to send out Christmas cards this year, and I figured, you know, lets personalize it. Not just make a one-off mailer that some big company put together. We put a little extra effort into it to get involved with the community.”
The winning picture was a snow globe with Christmas-themed items inside. Granite City Tire and Auto will mail around 600 cards to its customers. Nelson says the design contest also allowed the business to extend a helping hand. “We wanted to show some more community involvement and give back to a good local cause. And what better way than to support our youth and make sure they have proper art supplies so they can continue expanding their creative adventures.”
Granite City Tire & Auto donated $1,100 to Pine Meadow’s art department. Nelson says they plan to do the event again next year.
Granite City Tire & Auto has three locations in Alexandria, Sartell and St. Cloud.
