The Highline Medical Center Foundation has announced a partnership with Car Pros Burien Nissan to fundraise for the foundation. With every new car purchase made Memorial Day Weekend, Friday, May 25 through Monday, May 28, Car Pros Burien Nissan will donate $200 to Highline Medical Center Foundation.

In addition, individuals who mention Highline Medical Center will qualify for fleet pricing, which is not available to the general public. This pricing is generally thousands off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price depending on the vehicle. Fleet pricing will allow a stream-lined, reduced price, direct buying experience for those who are eligible and participate.

Highline Medical Center Foundation and Car Pros Nissan hope to raise $50,000.

If you would like to take advantage of this fabulous fund raising opportunity, please call Matt Summers, Fleet/Internal Manager for Car Pros Nissan – Reference #081910 – at (206) 245-1075 or email him at matts@carpros.com.
