The North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association’s relief efforts for those affected by Hurricane Helene received a big boost from dealers in the Fayetteville area of the state.

The association said in a LinkedIn post Monday that the Fayetteville New Car Dealers Association donated $25,000 to the NCADA Disaster Relief Fund to help North Carolinians in need after the deadly, devastating storm.

“Now, the Fayetteville dealers are challenging other state dealer groups to match their donation and join the effort,” NCADA said in the post,.

“NCADA encourages everyone who can to contribute; every little bit helps.”
