About the Annual Matthews Auto Walk-A-Thon
Matthews Auto began the Annual Walk-A-Thon in 2019 to incorporate our Team in a healthy challenge, while benefiting local charities. In our first year we had over 600 walkers and 4,500 miles pledged. In our first three years we have cut checks for local charities totaling over $125,000! Charities that have benefited have included A Room To Heal, Chenango County Child Advocacy Center (Norwich), Gigi's Playhouse, Mom's House, Toys for Tots, Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital, Lourdes Hospice Camp Hope for Kids, Golisano Children's Hospital in Rochester Saint Joseph's Center (Scranton) and Things of My Very Own (Schenectady). And for 2024, we have added one more, Joseph's House (Syracuse, NY)! We truly care about our community and look forward to this event every year!
