Gratitude in Action: Thank You for Supporting Our Holiday Events and Donation Drives!

Steet Ponte Nissan’s 9th Annual Coats for Kids Drive At Steet Ponte Nissan, we believe being a part of our community means doing more than selling cars. It means coming together to help our neighbors, support local families and make a difference where we live and work. That's why we are proud to participate in the 9th Annual Coats for Kids Drive! This annual event has become something our entire Steet Ponte Auto Group looks forward to each year. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, last year's drive resulted in a record-breaking 1,400+ items of winter outerwear donated to local children. The donations included everything kids need to stay warm during a New York winter, from coats, hats and snow pants to gloves, mittens, scarves and snow boots. This year, our Yorkville-area stores will be helping provide winter clothing to schools in Utica and Rome. Donate New Winter Clothing We are accepting NEW winter clothing in all kids’ sizes from October 1 through November 2. We welcome donations of: Coats and winter jackets Snow pants Snow boots Hats Gloves and mittens Scarves Other new winter outerwear Donations can be dropped off at Steet Ponte Nissan during normal business hours.

There’s nothing quite like a little friendly competition—and the Steet Ponte Nissan Soccerfest brought plenty of it to the field! Steet Ponte Nissan was proud to sponsor this exciting soccer tournament, held at Accelerate Sports, bringing together eight local high school teams for a day of competition, teamwork and fun. The tournament featured student-athletes from schools throughout the area, including: Utica Academy of Science Fowler High School New Hartford High School Whitesboro High School Henniger High School Central Valley Liverpool High School Nottingham High School With so many talented teams taking the field, Soccerfest was a great opportunity for local student-athletes to compete against one another, showcase their skills and represent their schools. After a day of exciting soccer, Whitesboro High School took home the championship, with Nottingham High School finishing as the runner-up. Congratulations to both teams—and to every player and coach who competed throughout the tournament! At Steet Ponte Nissan, we’re proud to support events that give local students opportunities to compete, build relationships and create memories with their teammates. High school athletics are about more than what happens on the scoreboard—they teach teamwork, dedication, perseverance and sportsmanship that students can carry with them well beyond the field. We want to thank Accelerate Sports for hosting such a great event and congratulate all eight schools for making the inaugural Steet Ponte Nissan Soccerfest such a success. Most importantly, thank you to all of the student-athletes, coaches and families who came out and made the day so special. Congratulations, Whitesboro—and great job to all of our Soccerfest competitors! We can’t wait to see everyone back on the field next year! ⚽

What’s better than a day at the ballpark? A day at the ballpark with your Steet Ponte family! ⚾ This year, the Steet Ponte Auto Group took our team spirit on the road for our first-ever Steet Ponte Auto Group bus trip to see the New York Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox! The idea for the trip came from Kathy Williams of Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln, who did an incredible job organizing and bringing this first-time event to life. We had team members representing almost all of our Steet Ponte stores join us for a day filled with baseball, great food, drinks and plenty of laughs. And Mother Nature certainly cooperated! We were treated to beautiful weather as we enjoyed the game from our group seating area, complete with lunch and drinks. It was the perfect setting to relax, enjoy some baseball and spend time with coworkers outside of the dealerships. While the Yankees and Red Sox provided plenty of action on the field, the best part of the day was simply getting everyone together. With team members from across the Auto Group along for the trip, it was a great opportunity to connect with coworkers we may not get to see every day and enjoy a memorable experience together. A huge thank-you to Kathy Williams for coming up with the idea and putting so much time and effort into organizing such a fantastic day. She set the bar pretty high for our first Steet Ponte bus trip! We’re already looking forward to doing it again—and who knows where the next Steet Ponte adventure will take us! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first Yankees vs. Red Sox bus trip such a success. We can’t wait for the next one! ⚾🚌
