Stivers Ford Lincoln Uses Facebook for a Good Cause

One Waukee car dealership is using social media for a good cause.

Stivers For Lincoln, in cooperation with KCCI, held a charity fundraiser this summer benefiting a central Iowa charity. For every Facebook 'like' for Stivers Ford Lincoln, the dealership donated $1 to Special Olympics. The event generated 444 'likes.'

Scott Politte, president of Stivers Ford Lincoln, presented a check for $444 to Chief Michelle Leonard of the Dallas Center Police Department.

So far in 2012, Stivers Ford Lincoln has raised more than $1,000 for local charities through their Facebook fundraiser campaign. Katie's Crusaders and Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary were also among the organizations Stivers' Facebook campaign benefited.
