Charity
Gloucester Toyota believes in doing more than selling cars.
This local dealership has made giving back a core part of its identity—fueling positive change through impactful partnerships and local event sponsorships. From art education to youth empowerment, here are four powerful ways Gloucester Toyota is helping steer the Virginia community toward a brighter future.
Empowering Families Through BC United Outreach
One of Gloucester Toyota’s most heartfelt partnerships is with BC United Outreach, a nonprofit providing youth and family services with the mission of bridging the gap to success.
In support of their 2024 annual fundraiser, Gloucester Toyota donated a brand-new Toyota Corolla. The car was raffled off in November, with proceeds helping BC United continue its outreach and enrichment programs. The energy around the donation was captured in a celebratory photo at the dealership, featuring the BC United team and the Corolla proudly on display. It’s more than a car—it’s a symbol of community action.
Youth with Boys & Girls Clubs
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula have provided over 6,000 local kids with a safe space and access to STEAM learning.
Gloucester Toyota backs this mission wholeheartedly. In 2022, the dealership helped supercharge the Dream Big–Win Big raffle by donating a new Toyota Camry. Over 1,200 entries poured in, and one family drove away in a vehicle that changed their lives. Support like this helps ensure bright futures for the region’s youth.
Fueling Local Creativity Through the Arts
Art connects people of all ages, and Gloucester Toyota is helping ensure that connection thrives.
As a sponsor of the Art Speaks Gallery Program at the Bay School Community Arts Center, the dealership helps provide over 100 classes annually. Whether it’s pottery, painting, or printmaking, this support allows community members to explore their creativity—often at no cost. Local artists are also spotlighted through rotating gallery exhibits, bringing regional talent into the spotlight.
Celebrating Gloucester’s Roots at the Daffodil Festival
The Gloucester Daffodil Festival is a cherished tradition that welcomes over 25,000 attendees each April to celebrate local culture and history. Gloucester Toyota’s ongoing sponsorship helps keep this vibrant event going strong. From parades to student scholarships, the festival is a springtime staple that blossoms with community pride.
Shucking for a Cause at the Urbanna Oyster Festival
Each November, the Urbanna Oyster Festival draws over 60,000 visitors for shucking contests, antique car shows, and local wine tastings. As a longtime sponsor, Gloucester Toyota helps keep this beloved tradition alive. It’s the perfect fusion of coastal culture, food, and fun—with a side of small-town charm.

Community isn’t just a buzzword at Gloucester Toyota—it’s the road they’re on every day. Whether you’re buying your next car or joining them at the next festival, your support helps fuel programs that matter.
