Monday, 02 May, 2022 The Steet Ponte Auto Group is excited and proud to be first time sponsors of the America's Greatest Heart Run and Walk! The 2022 Heart Run and Walk will be held on Saturday, May 7th at Accelerate Sports on 5241 Judd Road in Whitesboro, NY. This year, you can Heart Walk Here, there or anywhere! Choose our path or yours. We invite you to walk with us at our in-person event or wherever you feel inspired. No matter where you choose to walk, participating and donating to the Heart Walk will save lives and improve lives. Being a sponsor helps The AHA in Utica, NY szin their mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. Fundraising and donations to our local AHA help fund lifesaving science. Science that can create an artificial heart valve. Prevent a stroke. Put scientific advances into doctors’ hands. Correct heart defects in newborn babies. And someday, find a cure for high blood pressure. Science that can teach us all how to live longer and healthier. We're happy to be able to participate in this great local event this year, and will be forming a team to partake in the 3 mile walk or 5 mile run! You don't have to be an athlete to participate, just a willingness to help save lives in our local area!

Wednesday, 14 July, 2021 We love to share local events going on in the Utica, NY area and we’d love to share one that is coming up. The Annual Fire Truck Spectacular hosted by the New Hartford, NY Fire Department will be taking place on Thursday, July 15th at 6pm in the New Hartford Shopping Center parking lot! This a FREE event that's great for families. It’s always conveniently held in front of Nicky Doodles Ice Cream, so after you check out all the fire trucks, rescue trucks, ambulances and even a helicopter (that makes a dramatic entrance and exit each year!!) head on down for some great food and cold sweet treats. We proudly sponsor this event each year, as it not only promotes child safety with their smoke house, but is also very helpful for adults as local insurance companies are always on hand as well. Not to mention, many of our employees of the Steet Ponte Auto Group are proud volunteer firefighters. We hope to see you on Thursday, July 15th at the New Hartford Shopping Center for some FREE family fun!
