Community
giving is a big part of the CarMax culture and it’s personal to our associates.
We are proud to be part of the Frederick community and support great
organizations that are making a positive difference to families in our area. Frederick County Boys and Girls Club
received a $20,000 grant from The CarMax Foundation for Project Learn. Our team has clocked more than 240 volunteer
hours at the Frederick County Boys and Girls Club. Teams of associates have been a part
of three nonprofit walks in Frederick supporting the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation, March of Dimes, and Animal Welfare League of Frederick County. The
CarMax Foundation also made donations to each of these organizations on behalf
of the volunteers.
What are you most proud
of?
More
than 20 years ago, we wanted to give car buyers a better option. CarMax was
founded on the principle of integrity and that remains the core part of our
culture today. Integrity is ingrained in the way we do business, in every role,
responsibility and process. Our sales consultants act as “car matchmakers,”
receiving the same commission for any car a customer purchases, no matter its
price. They are true advisors to find each customer his or her perfect car to
fit budget and lifestyle.
