Community Involvement

Saginaw Valley State University

SVSU is a Division II school with a 748-acre campus just 3 miles north of us in Kochville Twp. The Serra Saginaw family shows support during home football and basketball games providing fun halftime activities with oil change certificates given to the winners. Our favorite color is red too! Go Cardinals!

This summer concert series happens right around the corner from us at the Saginaw Township Soccer Complex on McCarty Road for 6 Thursday evenings each Summer. Live music featuring artists from around the state and local area highlights the outdoor soccer field turned concert stage. Other features include food trucks, bounce houses, and balloon figures for the kids plus a bar available with 21+ drinks. As the Presenting Sponsor, we join many other local businesses to fund this mostly free, fun event as all proceeds help for the upkeep of these beautiful fields and help fund programs to keep the kids playing in the rec. leagues. In 2021, the committee partnered with the Saginaw Twp. Business Assn. to have the annual Christmas tree lighting at the complex as well, along with a “Winter Party on McCarty” with lots of fun kid’s activities, Santa, and live music under heated tents.

American Cancer Society

Along with Chevrolet, Serra Saginaw Automotive jumps in with annual fundraising efforts to assist breast cancer research for our area Making Strides of the Great Lakes Bay Region chapter. Our team donates by participating in special jeans and ‘theme’ days & bake sales. On the region’s walk day, volunteers from our staff help with the “survivor shuttle” to the walk start/finish line as parking close to the site can be a challenge. Our annual efforts in the past have raised as much as $5015 for a grand total of over $25,000!

Covenant Healthcare Foundation

Covenant Healthcare is one of the leaders in health healing and care in the region. Their foundation raises funds to help area residents on many levels and areas of care needed. Serra Saginaw specifically helps with Covenant Kids, where monies are dedicated to enhancing the care of all Covenant kids under the age of 18 and their families. Since 2010, Covenant Kids has raised more the $1 million to support pediatric needs in the Great Lakes Bay Region & beyond. Serra is also a big supporter of their Red Carpet events where proceeds benefit the Covenant Breast Health Center and Covenant Hospice.

Maverick

Officer Heyn & K9 Maverick from the Buena Vista Police Department were in desperate need of a vehicle equipped to house the 3-year-old dog. Employees at Serra Saginaw helped arrange a HUGE fundraiser to assist with the final $10,000 needed to purchase and outfit the vehicle. Along with grants and donations raised by selling shirts, autographed photos, and lots of great gifts donated by some area businesses, we were able to exceed that! The vehicle was purchased and set up with a ‘Hot & Pop’ system to control the temperature inside the K9 area and a door that the human could open even when away from the vehicle.
