Foundation for Ashley’s Dream Named Primary Sponsor of Automotive Podcast

Hosted by Gerardo Hernandez, the weekly podcast reaches more than 100,000 followers and will feature Ashley's Dream as its primary sponsor. Hernandez, a car-collector enthusiast and owner of Car Community Connection, uses the podcast to connect with fellow enthusiasts and promote car shows across the country. One of the largest promoters in Georgia, Car Community Connection has raised thousands of dollars to help those in need.

"We are excited to have Foundation for Ashley's Dream as our primary sponsor. Sharing Ashley's dream to help others is exactly what we're about. There are car collectors everywhere who care about giving and helping those less fortunate," Hernandez said. "The organization's mission to invest in trade school education and infrastructure is the primary reason we teamed up."

"As enthusiasts, we need automotive technicians and trained specialists to maintain and refurbish our automobiles. We also want our streets clear of drunk drivers, and we'll do our part to raise awareness about the dangers," Hernandez said.

"I remember one of our best car shows. A mom called in from Iowa—her son was dying of cancer, and his love for automobiles was so strong he wanted a car show in his name. In four weeks, we assembled a show in a mall parking lot and had more than 5,000 cars. We flew him and his mom in, and he rode in and sat in so many cars—everyone wanted to share their ride with him," Hernandez said.
