Last Thursday afternoon in Holyoke, MA was nothing short of life-changing for one graduating senior, who drove away in a brand new Hyundai Venue thanks to Gary Rome Hyundai's annual giveaway.
For over a decade, Gary Rome Hyundai has brought together Holyoke high school students, their families, and school administrators for this special event. The dealership awards a brand new Hyundai Venue to one deserving student who meets rigorous criteria: maintaining a B average or better, having no excused absences, and no disciplinary actions. This year, over 80 students qualified, and 20 were eventually selected as finalists.
The finalists each pulled keys from a bowl, taking turns to see if their key would unlock the prize. Jackie Rivera Burgos was the fortunate student whose key unlocked the Hyundai, marking a thrilling conclusion to an emotional day and a powerful reminder that hard work pays off.
