DENVER — Sister publication Auto Remarketing learned on Wednesday
that Ally Financial announced it will be partnering with a Denver Area dealer
to make a contribution to the Boy Scouts of America Denver Area Council.

The company will be making a $10,000 contribution to the
organization in the name of Mike Shaw — recently named 2012 national Time
Dealer of the Year.

The donation is part of Shaw's achievement as Time Dealer of
the Year out of a select group of dealers from across the United States. Shaw
personally chose the Boy Scouts of America Denver Area Council as the recipient
of the donation.

"The TIME Dealer of the Year award is one of the automobile
industry's most prestigious and highly coveted honors. Recipients are among the
nation's most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing
commitment to community service," officials explained.

The presentation of the contribution will take place at Shaw's dealership, located at 1080 South Colorado Boulevard in
Denver.

Commenting on the news, Tim Russi, executive vice president
of North American Auto Operations at Ally Financial, said, "Mike continues to
have a tremendous impact on the vitality and strength of his community.

"We're honored to recognize Mike and are truly inspired by
the many important organizations he is involved with that serve the Denver
community," he added.

And the Boy Scouts of America is not the only community
cause Shaw is involved in.

"For the past 17 years, Shaw has also been involved in other
local community causes, such as the Boys & Girls Club of America, Urban
League of Denver, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Colorado Aids Walk, Food Bank of the
Rockies, American Cancer Society, Crime Stoppers and Executive Women
International and Seniors Incorporated, to name a few," officials reported.

Shaw has also been an adviser or board member of the
National Western Stock Show, St. Joseph Hospital Foundation, Denver Zoological
Foundation, Texas State Aquarium and Kempe Foundation, as well as spearheading
numerous fundraising events.

But The Boy Scouts holds special significance for the
dealer.

"The Boy Scouts were instrumental in molding me and
instilling my ethical and core values," said Shaw. "It is such an honor to be
recognized for giving back and impacting the lives of our future leaders in
this way.

 "I am a person who
deeply cares about kids and their education. I am convinced the key to success
is education, and thus, my commitment to kids and education is a driving force.
I also believe that what you give, you get back tenfold," Shaw concluded.
