Kim Ridings of Fredericksburg wins CarMax Cares Community Service Award

Kim Ridings from Fredericksburg has been recognized by the nation's largest retailer of used cars as a 2013 CarMax Cares Community Service Award winner. Kim is a management assistant with CarMax and has organized more than 20 volunteer projects this year alone with a wide variety of organizations, and she encourages others to give back in any way they can. Each award winner chose a nonprofit to receive a grant of $5,000 from The CarMax Foundation and Kim selected Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity. 

Kim says, "I wouldn't have received this award if it wasn't for all the help from my store team. I’m very passionate about giving back and I’m grateful to work for a company that gives me the opportunity to support charities that need our help.” 

Associates across the country were nominated for the fourth annual CarMax Cares Community Service Award for their personal volunteer efforts and leadership in community giving. The 10 winners of the award were honored at the company’s largest associate recognition event of the year.
