Meet the Thrive & Drive Program Winner from St. Hilary School  

This year’s Thrive & Drive Program with the St. Hilary School Knights of Columbus organization brought smiles to many faces across Akron. The winning ticket belonged to Emily, who chose the cash prize option over the vehicle lease. The draw was conducted at random, ensuring everyone had an equal opportunity to win. This year, the VanDevere Kia team joined in the celebration, helping present the check to Emily and congratulating her on the win. Emily’s victory not only brought joy to her but also helped the organization raise vital funds for local youth programs. Every dollar collected through the program goes right back into the community, supporting education, growth, and future opportunities for kids in the area.
