At VanDevere Buick, we are proud to support local organizations and give back to the Akron community. This year, we had the privilege of partnering once again with the Akron Rotary Camp for their annual fundraiser. The grand prize, a brand-new Buick Envista, was won by David O’Neal, who purchased raffle tickets to support the camp. His ticket was drawn at the Akron Chili Open event, an annual event that brings together the community to raise funds for a great cause.
A Long-Standing Partnership with Akron Rotary Camp
VanDevere Buick has proudly partnered with the Akron Rotary Camp for 13 years, contributing to their mission of providing life-changing experiences for children and adults with disabilities. This year’s Buick Envista raffle is just one example of how VanDevere and other local businesses have come together to support the camp. The photo of the check below shows the total amount raised this year, with VanDevere’s generous car donation being a significant part of the funds.

At VanDevere, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us over the years. In February 2026, a group of dedicated employees took time from their workday to volunteer at the Akron Emergency Warming Center, a vital organization that provides warmth, shelter, and essential services to Akron’s homeless community during the cold winter months.
A Hands-On Approach to Helping Akron’s Homeless
The VanDevere team rolled up their sleeves to help clean, organize, and ensure the Warming Center is prepared for the influx of individuals seeking shelter from the harsh winter conditions. This hands-on volunteer effort aimed to make the center a more welcoming and effective space for those in need. The Warming Center plays an essential role in Akron, offering a safe refuge for the homeless, especially during extreme cold spells.

Concept cars are usually nonsense. Beautiful, yes. Interesting, occasionally. But mostly they exist to show what designers would do if engineers and accountants were politely removed from the room. Big wheels, impossible interiors, doors that open like they’re auditioning for a sci-fi film.
Buick’s 2027 concepts feel… different. Not less ambitious. Just more believable.
