Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge Raises $3,000 for Local Schools

Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge Raises $3,000 for Local SchoolsBAY CITY, Mich. – It was the first official year for the Tinsel Tree Challenge at Graff Bay City and we are so proud to be able to say it was a total success! We are so thankful to everyone to who participated in the Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge, raising $3,000 for local schools! We truly couldn't have done it without the help and enthusiasm of so many community members.

Students, teachers, and volunteers from public and private schools throughout Bay City got in the Christmas spirit by decorating over 30 ornate trees in the Graff Bay City showroom. Then as part of the main event, the public was invited to vote for their favorite trees with tickets that could be purchased for $1 each. The best part is that proceeds from every ticket go directly to that school! Not only did each team earn money for their school by encouraging votes, but the Tinsel Tree judges also gave their input on which three trees earned the top spot and an extra $500 for their schools!

In addition, event guests enjoyed festive holiday treats, photos with Santa, and a free photo booth while mingling with neighbors and friends! We can't say thank you enough to everyone who came out to the event and helped the Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge raise about $3,000 for local schools! It is truly something to see so many people come together to support local education!

Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge to Support Local Schools

Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge to Support Local Schools

BAY CITY, Mich. – Tis the season to be jolly and give back to those in our community during the Season of Giving at Graff Bay City! This year, to kick off all the festivities, we are super excited to be hosting the second annual Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge to Support Local Schools! So mark your calendars – our holiday event is just around the corner!

Now is the time to round up your classroom or a team at your school to decorate a tree during the Tinsel Tree Challenge at Hank Graff Chevrolet! Not only will you have fun and kick off the holiday season, but through voting and a raffle during the final celebration, you'll raise money for your school! Register for the Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge to Supports Local Schools on this Tinsel Tree Challenge Page.

This year's weekend of festive fun begins Friday, December 12th, with the Christmas tree decorating taking place from 3-6pm. Each team can create their own decorations for the tree or can also ask for supply donations from friends and family. If your team can't make it out to decorate their tree at that time, don't sweat it! Give us a call, and we would be happy to find a time for you to come pick up your tree before December 4th. Then just return your decorated tree by 5:00pm on December 12th. Most importantly, though, don't forget to be creative and have fun!

The fun continues the next day, Saturday, December 13th, with a festive live auction from 10am-3pm. What better way to get in the holiday spirit? The live auction will display all the beautifully decorated trees (from the previous day), each one representing a different school or classroom. Throughout the event make sure to vote for your favorite trees with your $1 voting tickets, and every time you vote, you are automatically entered into the raffle! The more votes for each tree means the more money for your school, so be sure to invite as many people as possible! Plus, don't forget to warm up your singing voice because karaoke starts at 1pm! All the action wraps up at 3pm with the awards ceremony and raffle!

The best part about the whole event is that all of the money raised goes right back into our local schools and classrooms to support our children! Whether you want to decorate a tree or join us for the fun, we invite you and your family to the Bay City Tinsel Tree Challenge to Supports Local Schools! We hope to see you all the weekend of December 12th!

No Shave November for Cancer Awareness at Graff Bay City

BAY CITY, Mich. – Can you believe that October is over already? Time flies when you're having fun! And we're continuing the fun through our Season of Giving at Graff Bay City! As part of our efforts this month, we're bringing back No Shave November for Cancer Awareness!

Not only do we want to raise cancer awareness by letting our hair grow, but we want to encourage everyone in our community to support the fight by donating the money you would typically spend on haircare and grooming to the cause! How do you do it? Well, we're making it easy during No Shave November at Graff Bay City! Today's the day to start clean shaven and take the pledge to LET IT GROW by visiting our pledging station to donate $10 to the American Cancer Society and get your "start photo" taken. Then spend the month letting your beards (guys) or leg hair from the knee down (gals) GROW before our wrap up party on December 1st where we will announce the grand prize winner of a luxury shaving kit!

By participating in No Shave November at Graff Bay City, not only are you raising awareness to help educate our friends, family and neighbors about cancer prevention, but by donating you're also making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer!

6th Annual PJ's For Preemies Clothing Drive

6th Annual PJ's For Preemies Clothing Drive

BAY CITY, Mich. – This year at Graff Bay City we are officially designating the upcoming holiday months as the Season of Giving! We are so appreciative of all the support our community shows us throughout the year and we want to do what we can to give back, starting with the 6th Annual PJ's for Preemies Clothing Drive!

Every year this event is a smashing success and it is truly rewarding to see our friends, family, and neighbors come together to make a difference in the lives of families who are faced with premature births. Since no one expects their child to be born prematurely, these families are often not prepared with the clothing their child needs. Through the PJ's for Preemies Clothing Drive, we are able to provide the right sized clothing for these babies during their stay at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, since they are typically much smaller than full-term babies.

We want to invite you to join us in the 6th Annual PJ's for Preemies Clothing Drive to support the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Covenant Hospital in Saginaw, MI! Just stop by Graff Bay City to drop off your donation of new or like-new pjs with snap or button fronts in preemie through 3 month sizes! In particular, gowns and newborn sizes are needed this year! And, like last year, GRAFF BAY CITY WILL MATCH ALL DONATIONS!

Together we can all make a difference in our local community! Get more information on the PJ's for Preemies Foundation: http://pjsforpreemies.com/

2016 Chevrolet Camaro Rendered

2016 Chevrolet Camaro Rendered
BAY CITY, Mich. – It's the name of the game. When an updated or new vehicle is nearing its debut, rumors, spy shots, and renderings begin to circle the web. While these materials give us some insight into what the car, truck or SUV will look like, there is still some mystery involved because nobody can know for sure what the final model will look like once the vehicle is done testing. Well, we're at it again with Top Speed's 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Rendering...could this be it?!

The 2016 version of the sports car has been spotted out and about around Detroit while undergoing testing near GM's headquarters, and the people at Top Speed have done a great job rendering the 2016 Chevy Camaro from those sightings. While there is definitely still a 1967-69 influence, and none of the changes appear too drastic, some minor updates will add to a design that is lighter, sleeker, and more dynamic. Better proportions, a cleaner shape, and a small-block exhaust note will all ride on GM's Alpha platform. However, details on where the car's power will come from are still unknown. But if the Camaro SS 1LE and Z/28 tell us anything, the 2016 Camaro will be nothing short of impressive and is expected to offer seven-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmission options.

A main driver in sticking with the current model's '67-'69 influence is the car's first place standing in its segment and continued sales success. Only time will tell if this 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Rendering is the real deal, so stay tuned for more updates!

Or, stop by our Saginaw Chevy Dealership to check out the current model 2014 Chevrolet CamaroHank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we are here to help you find the perfect car, truck, or SUV for your needs! For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our website: www.GraffBayCity.com.

How To Use Chevrolet Collision Alert in the 2014 Silverado

How To Use Chevrolet Collision Alert in the 2014 Silverado
BAY CITY, Mich. – Today's Chevrolet lineup offers top of the line safety protection thanks to recent advances in technology that allow vehicles to stay one step ahead. While you know what basic safety systems, like airbags, do to keep you safe, are you confused when it comes to new additions like collision alert, side blind zone alert, or lane departure warning? Well we're here to help and today we are going to show you How To Use Chevrolet Collision Alert in the 2014 Silverado!

The good news is that these new safety systems are designed to protect you every time you hit the road. Specifically, Chevrolet's Forward Collision Alert feature works to prevent any possible collisions with the vehicle in front of you. By continually monitoring how close your vehicle is to the cars or trucks in front of you, Forward Collision Alert can step in and alert you with visual and audible signals if closing speeds detect a potential collision. With this feature, you can utilize the buttons on your steering wheel to set at what distance you want your vehicle to notify you of any danger – you can choose one of three distances, from closest to farther away.

Watch as we demonstrate How To Use Chevrolet Collision Alert in the 2014 Silverado [VIDEO]:



Chevrolet's Forward Collision Alert feature is available on more than just the Silverado, so make sure to ask if it is available on your vehicle.

2015 Chevrolet Tahoe & Suburban Z71 Package Revealed

BAY CITY, Mich. – About a month ago, news broke that Chevy may offer a Z71 package for the 2015 Suburban and Tahoe SUVs, however no details about exactly what that package would include were known...until now! At the Texas State Fair, Chevrolet revealed the 2015 Tahoe & Suburban Z71 Package details that will be available this fall!

The Z71 edition is really for those looking for an SUV with off-road performance, enhanced capability, and exclusive technology features.

Motor Trend's 2014 Best Driver's Car is Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

Motor Trend's 2014 Best Driver's Car is Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
BAY CITY, Mich. – When Chevrolet got to work redesigning the Camaro Z/28, it was the automaker's mission to create the most capable, best-handling Camaro in history. Well, that mission was a success because the 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28 is Motor Trend's 2014 Best Driver's Car!

Only new or significantly revised performance vehicles are considered for the award which requires extensive subjective and objective testing. To determine which vehicle delivered the most engaging behind the wheel experience, Motor Trend conducted testing including digitally instrumented laps at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and high-speed driving up and down a 4.3-mile hill climb on a closed rural highway before coming to the conclusion that the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro is Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car! In fact, the fifth generation Camaro is the first American-brand car to win the honor in the 7 years the award has been around!

Here's what Motor Trend had to say about it:
“The transformation of the fifth-generation Camaro from ‘muscle car that handles pretty well’ to Best Driver’s Car winner is astounding. You feel the superior engineering in how the car responds to inputs both internal and external. From within, the car reacts immediately and precisely to your commands but doesn’t punish your mistakes. From the outside, the Z/28’s suspension attacks bumps and dips with an unbridled passion for keeping the tires on the pavement.”
Not that you needed another reason to make the 2014 Camaro Z/28 your own, but now you do because it has been officially recognized as the 2014 Best Driver's Car! If you want to experience what it's all about, check out the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Brochure or come see us today at our Midland Chevrolet Dealership!

Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we can help you find the perfect Camaro for your needs! For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our website: www.GraffBayCity.com.

2015 Chevy Colorado Offers Segment-Leading Fuel Economy

2015 Chevy Colorado Offers Segment-Leading Fuel Economy
BAY CITY, Mich. – The arrival of the new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado has been very much anticipated, and this week GM announced the midsize trucks are officially on their way to dealerships! We can't wait for the first ones to arrive and we're even more excited that the 2015 Chevy Colorado offers Segment-Leading Fuel Economy!

According to recent EPA fuel economy estimates, the midsize Colorado offers an 3-5 mpg advantage over competing V6 pickup trucks with automatic transmissions. Expected to offer 26 mpg on the highway/18 mpg in the city with a combined fuel economy estimate of 21 mpg, the 2015 Chevy Colorado will offer segment-leading fuel economy with its 2WD model equipped with a 3.6L gasoline V6 engine. Impressive fuel economy is available in the 4x4 model as well – 24 mpg on the highway/17 mpg in the city/20 mpg combined.

It just goes to show, you don't have to spend a lot of money to own a vehicle that is capable and fun to drive, and you won't have to spend a lot at the pump either! So, if you need a truck, but your needs don't require the full-size 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, the new Colorado will be at our Linwood Chevrolet Dealership any day!

Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we can help you find the perfect vehicle for your weekend getaway! For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our website: www.GraffBayCity.com.

Help the kids form a habit of completing their homework right when they get home by making sure they are equipped to do so.

Along his journey through Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Washington, and then back through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois, John is going to explore all of the local sites and see in which states he is able to find charging stations for the Volt or is able to hook up the portable charger. Not only that but this cross-country trip will show us all what the Chevrolet Volt is really made of!

The journey kicks off on September 5th and we're ready to highlight his adventures along the way, so make sure you stay tuned to all of Graff Bay City's social networks!
