What is Relay For Life?

Source: About Relay For Life

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.

Relay began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, Relay has grown from a single man’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest movement to end the disease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 20 other countries, gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to Relay participants, the American Cancer Society continues to save lives.

Jason & Faith Cleveland Win Mazda Miata from Cedar Rapids Dodge Dealer

The Pat McGrath Dodge Country Car Giveaway contest went down as a huge success, with more entrants than we could have anticipated! McGrath Auto would like to thank all who participated and we’d also like to urge you to stay tuned for future contests here and on our Facebook page!

The Pat McGrath Dodge Car Giveaway drawing was held Saturday and the McGrath Auto representatives doing the name drawing honors were Gavin McGrath & Johnny Vasquez. Now to introduce our winners!

Jason & Faith Cleveland were the lucky contestants who drove away behind the wheel of their new Mazda Miata! Jason and Faith had been in the store earlier purchasing a car and decided to enter the drawing. When contacted, neither could believe their fortune and begged to be reassured that it wasn’t part of some cruel joke! The Cleveland couple made their way in to pick up their prize on Monday, smiling from ear to ear! They shared that the new Miata would probably be Faith’s car and she thinks she’ll name it Tink after the Disney character, Tinker Bell.

The Cleveland family were wonderful and appreciative people to be around and we couldn’t be happier to award them with a new vehicle! Thanks again to all the participants and good luck to you all in future drawings!

New 2011 Chrysler 200 Now Available at Pat McGrath Dodge Country in Cedar Rapids

The latest vehicle in the Chrysler lineup, the 2011 Chrysler 200, has officially arrived in Cedar Rapids and is available to check out at Pat McGrath Dodge Country!

You can lease one today for only $299* per month with only your first payment due at signing!

Here is just one of the many reviews for the New Chrysler 200…

Chrysler staffers were quick to remind attending media that the 200 came together quickly. For example, the first interior sketch was drawn only about a year ago—a remarkably short gestation period for any car. And the result is impressive. The 200 is eons better than the Sebring it replaces, even if it hasn’t yet moved to the head of the class. If nothing else, it shows that when properly focused, Chrysler can build a competitive product.
