Plan your work, then work your plan. That's exactly what happened when the Gillman Honda San Antonio team set up their "Great to be Free" blood drive. On June 8, between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., Gillman personnel turned out to offer the gift of life. Seventeen donations were accepted. Once again, a fine group of Gillman men and women have given of themselves to help others.

On Saturday April 17th, 2010 Gillman Subaru participated and sponsored the 6th annual Spring Bark hosted by The Woodlands Dog Park Club at Northshore Park in The Woodlands, TX.  The festivities included a pledge walk, agility and dog-dancing demonstrations, pet contests, free dog training sessions, pet photos, silent auctions, and raffle contests.  Gillman Subaru provided vehicles in support of all of "Man's best friend!"

In early 2010 Gillman Subaru hosted a major event in Houston featuring the ESX Dealer Tour and Easy Street Motorsports (ESX) along with food, open service bays, and great Gillman technicians to assist Subaru owners and other car enthusiasts in improving their own vehicles!  The Gillman Subaru team along with Subaru of America and other partners worked together to what had to have been one of the finest Subaru owners' gatherings in the nation!

The Gillman Companies is proud to announce a continued partnership with the Houston Dynamo Soccer club.  For the 2010 season Gillman Companies will be represented by signs in the stadium and radio announcements during the broadcast of the games.  It's a great sports alliance and year after year brings excitement to thousands of Houston-area residents!

During 2009, Gillman Subaru in Houston participated in a record number of community projects. These included the December Fourth Annual Paws with Claus Muttcracker Market to assist homeless animals, the Subaru Fresh Drive with Whole Foods, a tie-in with the Lifetime Fitness centers project, and the Subaru Share the Love Holiday Meal Program, working with Meals on Wheels.

You hoofed it for a good cause!

When the shotgun fired at high noon on November 9, 2009, play commenced with some of the area's top golfers challenging the links of the Sweetwater Country Club in Sugar Land for a worthy cause.

Proceeds from this remarkable tournament benefit the Fort Bend County Women's Center. The Center is a community service organization with an admirable record of helping women and children in need of support and counseling.

Based on past performance, this once-a-year Gillman event delivers a great day of golfing enjoyment, fun, and fellowship. From duffers to pros, everyone who attended had a great time.

Gillman Honda in Houston, is the official Automobile Dealer for the championship Houston Dynamo and July was Dynamo Month at the dealership.

Festivities kicked off with a very special contest, which was won by Olga Vanessa Falcon from Humble, Texas. She received two tickets to the Dynamo vs. LA Galaxy game in Los Angeles. The Galaxy is led by super soccer star David Beckham. Ms. Falcon also received round trip airline tickets and hotel accommodations.

July 14 was official Dynamo Day and players Nick Hatzke, Eric Ebert, Erik Ustruck, and John Hayden, ably supported by Dynamo Cheerleaders, were on hand to sign autographs, take photos, and award prizes. In addition to a children's bounce house and a contest based on kicking soccer balls through a goal, the MLS 2006 Championship Cup, won by the Dynamo team, was on display. Fans turned out in droves for this exciting, fun event.

The Gillman Chevrolet-Buick-Pontiac-GMC dealership was honored by the San Benito Chamber of Commerce as Pride Business of the month for June. The Pride program spotlights area companies that both contribute to the community environment and successfully meet consumers' needs.

The BP MS 150 bike ride is an annual fund-raiser in the fight against multiple sclerosis. It is also a real challenge to every participant and requires serious training just to complete the entire distance between Houston and Austin, Texas.

Julia Unay, Excell manager at Gillman Honda Houston, saw the event as a personal test as well as an opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause. Tropical rains halted the first day's event, but Unay and her fellow riders came on strong to finish. In her words, "2009 has been and will be one of the most memorable years in my life."
Good pedaling, Unay!

New donors and those who have crossed the threshold of multiple donations that equal or exceed a full gallon of blood came together to support the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center. On November 12, 2008, the mobile unit rolled into the parking area of the Gillman complex on the West Sam Houston Parkway South and the professional staff made giving the "gift of life" an easy task.

For over 27 years, the Fort Bend County Women's Center has provided sympathetic aid to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assaults, and other related problems. The Center has assisted tens of thousands of women and their children, providing shelter and aftercare for those in need.

Some 177 enthusiastic golfers came for a day of play and sportsmanship at the Sweetwater Country Club in Sugar Land, Texas. Spirits were high and each team knew it was making a contribution to a very worthy cause. In the end, a donation totaling well over $70,000 was presented to the Center.

This money will go toward bolstering activities that include crisis intervention, emergency residence, counseling, support services, and educational programs. These much needed functions are conducted by an exceptional staff of trained, experienced, and caring individuals. The day of camaraderie and entertainment began, as usual, at 10:30 a.m. with entrant check-in and the opening of the driving range. Play started at high noon and was followed by a dinner, an awards ceremony, and a silent auction.

Special recognition needs to be given to Liz Moreno, with the Women's Center, who worked hard to make this event a success.  All of the enthusiastic volunteers and sponsors went above and beyond the call of duty to make this a memorable tournament!
