Adam Rich is driving change in Kelowna – May 2024
It is with absolute pleasure to inform you that our very own Adam Rich, Dealer Principal, has played an important part in encouraging 18 Kelowna auto dealers to raise over $500,000 to help enhance life-saving cancer care in the Interior. Unfortunately, many of us have connections to cancer but it is really motivating that 18 dealers put rivalry aside to raise money for BC Cancer. There is hope! In addition to leading the Kelowna Auto Dealers Association’s charitable efforts to fuel cancer research and care at BC Cancer – Kelowna, Adam is on the BC Cancer Foundation Interior Transformation Council and has rallied his larger community to support the cause. Sentes Automotive has also donated more than $150,000 to the BC Cancer Foundation to support PSMA-PET technology (advanced imaging that detects prostate cancer spread) and genomics.
