Toyota of Merrillville is well known as one of the top car dealers and service providers in Northwest Indiana and is a part of the Gurley Leep Automotive Family. With over forty years in the automotive industry and over 1,200 employees, we are proud to be an automotive leader in the Midwest. Gurley Leep has helped establish their role as a communal leader by doing more than just engraining themselves as an upstanding business. Giving back to the communities we serve is one of the foundational pillars on which we have built our company and which we continue to grow.
Driven to Give was designed for this reason; to help encompass all of the ways we give back to our communities. We are ‘driven’ to give; from our hosted events to sponsorships and charitable donations, it all comes back to doing the “right” thing. This generosity through philanthropy has touched countless lives and we look forward to continuing this year after year.
The Boys and Girls Clubs help to inspire and enable the youth of our communities to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
