The Teeter Chevrolet Team visits the Hot Springs Homeless Coalition. (l -r) Jimmy Lea, Peggy Whatley, Boyce Mitchell, and Denny Teeter.
Last November Denny Teeter, owner of Teeter Chevrolet in Malvern, had an idea. His father Daryl Teeter could never say “no” when folks or non-profits needed help.
“Dad just couldn’t turn people away. He’d listen and then he’d pull out his checkbook. He was a man of enormous faith and he just knew that was the right thing to do. He was doing that since 1968 when he opened Teeter Motor Company.”
With his dad in mind, Denny asked his five salesmen to each pick a Malvern non-profit. “I told them I’d donate $100 for every car they sold until the end of the year. I didn’t know what to expect but they seemed excited. We called the whole promotion “Making the Holidays Sweeter with Teeter.”
Steve Michael picked the Hot Spring County Boys and Girls Club; Ken Tippens chose the Benson Henson Foundation; Donny Baker took the Malvern Animal Services because he’s got six dogs; Mike Fite picked the Cruise Nite in Malvern Toy Drive, and Jimmy Lea went with the Hot Spring County Homeless Coalition.
When the day came for Denny to write the checks and present them to the non-profits he was surprised. He had to write $7,700 worth of checks!
In February, Denny decided to do it again for Hot Springs non-profits. This time his guys have signed up to help The Jackson House, PHOEBE, Who Saved Who Animal Rescue, The Ouachita Children, Youth and Family Services, and the Salvation Army Red Shield Café.
“Who knows what’s possible when we all step up and help just a little bit. We’re just trying to make 2022 Sweeter with Teeter,” he laughed. For more information visit Denny and his team at Teeter Motor Company, 1512 W Moline St, in Malvern, or online at www.teetermotors.com.
