The Steet Ponte Nissan crew was all in for a day of fun at this year’s Steet Ponte Auto Group annual company picnic at Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge.
With free admission for employees and their immediate families, plus a tasty lunch and refreshments all day long, it was the perfect opportunity to kick back and enjoy the summer sunshine together.
We love being part of a company that’s kept this tradition going for over 25 years. The annual picnic is just one more reason why Steet Ponte isn’t just a place to work — it’s a place to belong.

Cool Treats on a Hot Day – Thank You, ACV Auctions!
Yorkville, NY | Steet Ponte Auto Group
It’s been one of the hottest weeks of the summer so far, but our teams at the Yorkville Steet Ponte Auto Group stores got to beat the heat in the best way possible, with FREE ice cream delivered by a good old-fashioned ice cream truck!

A huge thank you to our friends at ACV Auctions, who surprised our entire Yorkville dealerships, including Steet Ponte Nissan, with an ice cream break that brought smiles all around. From cones to popsicles, it was the perfect treat to cool down, take a breather, and enjoy some summertime fun.
We truly appreciate ACV not only for the delicious surprise, but also for being an outstanding partner in the auto industry. If you’re not familiar, ACV Auctions is a nationwide digital wholesale vehicle marketplace that helps dealers buy and sell inventory with ease, transparency, and efficiency.

Whether it’s helping us streamline our operations or bringing us ice cream on a sweltering day, ACV Auctions goes above and beyond, and we’re grateful for their support.
Thanks again, ACV! Here’s to more great partnerships—and more ice cream! 🍦

Steet Ponte Auto Group Proudly Sponsors the First Annual Putts for a Purpose Charity Golf Tournament
June 27th | Pine Hills Golf Club | Frankfort, NY
The Steet Ponte Auto Group was proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of the First Annual Putts for a Purpose Charity Golf Tournament, held on Friday, June 27th at Pine Hills Golf Club in Frankfort, NY. What began with a goal of raising $10,000 for local charities quickly turned into a huge community win—over $11,000 was raised during this incredible day on the course!

Organized by Scott and Kelly Grates, hosts of the Love Living Local 315 podcast, the tournament was designed to spotlight and support the heart of our community—local charities and small businesses that often fly under the radar but make a major impact. Love Living Local 315 has become a must-listen for anyone who wants to discover hidden gems and meaningful stories across the Mohawk Valley.
We were thrilled to not only sponsor this event but also to send a team of our own out to participate in the tournament. Representing the Steet Ponte Auto Group were:
- Dan DeLuke, Auto Group Social Media Content Creator & Coordinator
- Nate Smith, of Steet Ponte Nissan
- Jason Coleman & Dan Hermann of Steet Toyota of Yorkville
The team brought the competitive spirit and camaraderie that make this community so special! As part of our sponsorship, we also offered a thrilling hole-in-one prize on Hole #14—a 2025 Ford Mustang Convertible—which certainly turned heads throughout the day.

One of the highlights of this tournament was that half of the funds raised—$5,500—will be donated to the MVHS Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network division, a cause very close to the Steet family’s heart. The Steet family has proudly supported the Children’s Miracle Network since 1989. This national nonprofit works to raise funds for local children’s hospitals to help provide critical treatments, equipment, and services to children in need—ensuring that kids across the region have access to the best possible care, close to home.
We extend our deepest thanks to Scott and Kelly Grates for organizing such a meaningful and well-executed event, and to everyone who came out to support the cause. We’re already looking forward to next year!

And don’t forget to tune into Love Living Local 315 in July for a special podcast episode featuring Carly Steet Mathias and Joe Steet Jr., siblings and co-owners of the Steet Ponte Auto Group, as they talk about the importance of local giving, community involvement, and family business.
