GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) —

The Red Rock Auto Group made a big donation to the D51 Foundation yesterday.

Red Rock brand manager Bryan Knight handed off the big check with a big number on it to D51 Foundation executive director Angela Christensen late Wednesday morning. The donation is part of the pledge Red Rock made in December to donate 100 dollars for every car sold through December, January, and February. More than a thousand cars sold which means a major donation of more than a hundred thousand dollars.

The D-51 Foundation raises funds to help improve students’ academic growth. Christiansen told us the foundation will use the money well, “Our funding priorities for the foundation are; technology for the students and professional learning for D51 staff to grow our students academically and this donation will make a big impact.”
