On the Avenue: Fifth Ave. BID recognized for helping ‘build a better Brooklyn’
From Sixth Avenue to Fifth Avenue with love! Bay Ridge Toyota, located at 6401 Sixth Ave., recently concluded its most recent Building a Better Brooklyn Campaign, which recognizes local nonprofit organizations and worthy causes throughout the year. The campaign has recognized groups like the Guild for Exceptional Children and March of Dimes in the past.
“As a family-owned-and-operated Toyota dealer for over 30 years, Bay Ridge Toyota has made a conscious decision to entrench themselves in the community,” the campaign’s homepage reads. “Whether helping individuals who have been wronged or donating to local organizations who make Brooklyn a better place to live, Bay Ridge Toyota has made it their sole goal to build a better Brooklyn.”
This time around, the Bay Ridge Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District was among the featured organizations. BID Executive Director Amanda Zenteno and Office Administrator Elizabeth Lovejoy were on hand to receive a special donation check from Bay Ridge Toyota officials.
“We shared the stage with the Bay Ridge Community Development Center and the Brooklyn Book Bodega — two other wonderful service agencies,” Zenteno said.
