  2021 Shoot4Cash Wrap-Up Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and, in this case, we mean Shoot4Cash.  Stephen Wade Auto Center had a fantastic time giving out cash to the clubs and organizations at our local high schools.   Here are some quick facts about this season: 5 Shoot4Cash Events Held 68 Participating/Engaging Clubs 15 Clubs Benefitting from Kicking for Cash $4,500  Awarded In Total Awarding $650 to DHS sports, clubs, and organizations We were happy that we were able to hold Shoot4Cash again this year.  Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there was a possibility that we might not have been able to have it return.  We knew that we still wanted to award money to the schools in our community in a fun way, but we were unsure how we would be able to do it this time since it was still uncertain how schools would follow health and safety guidelines for these events.  The Stephen Wade marketing team had even considered a different approach to Shoot4Cash, such as a virtual ev

  42nd St. George Art Festival Stephen Wade Auto Center is a proud sponsor of the 42nd annual St. George Art Festival . We were pleased to see the Festival come back this year after being canceled last year due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite being unlike other years, the energy was indescribable; it was evident that many event-goers were excited to participate after the event's hiatus. The 42nd Festival was held during Easter weekend from April 2nd–3rd, from 10 am–6 pm in the Historic Town Square. Since its inception in 1980, the St. George Art Festival has been a venue for celebrating artists' craft from all over the United States. Typically over 30,000 residents and visitors from the West come to the prestigious event. Organizers selected 110 nationally known painters, potters, jewelers, photographers, and sculptors to exhibit this year, although about 250 apply every year to showcase their art and win cash prizes.

  A Much-Needed Grant for a Desert Hills Middle Teacher Stephen Wade Auto Center is a proud sponsor of the Washington County School District Foundation grant program.  We visited Desert Hills Middle School on Wednesday, February 24, to award a grant to English teacher Laura Vanderslice, who applied for $437.70.  Mrs. Vanderslice will be using this grant to purchase materials such as books for her class.  Thank you for having us over! Those who do not work in education may not know that educators typically spend their own money on their respective classes.  While teachers are provided with necessary furniture such as desks and SMART boards, they often have to pay out-of-pocket for activity sheets, notebooks, and other materials to accompany their lesson plans.  These materials may even include costly supplies such as computer software.  About 94% of U.S. teachers spend their own money on school supplies, with an average spend of $479 per year.  Unfortunately, nine out of ten teacher
