Brian Harris BMW would like to invite you to a special event at the dealership. On Friday, July 8^th from 10am until 4pm, Brian Harris BMW will host the “Drive for a Cause”. This event invites anyone in the community to come to the dealership and test drive the BMW vehicle of their choosing.  For each test drive taken, Brian Harris BMW, in conjunction with BMW of North America, will donate funds to the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. This “Drive for a Cause”  builds on the phenomenal success of last year’s “Drive for Team USA” event, which supports U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes. This new campaign will benefit a local charity, so all money raised at the event will stay right here in Baton Rouge.

“Drive for a Cause is more than a summer sales initiative – it’s a meaningful part of what we do to support Team USA and other important local charitable endeavors,” said Trudy Hardy, Vice President, Marketing, BMW of North America. “Any time you can get people behind the wheel of a BMW while simultaneously generating attention and raising money for worthy charities, it’s a win-win.”
