"The entire Feldman Automotive family has a special place in our heart for the good work of the Children’s Miracle Network,” said Jay Feldman, chairman and CEO, Feldman Automotive, Inc. “Mark and I have been proud to support this organization in the past and when this opportunity came up, we decided to go all in and bring the Feldman Automotive Children’s Miracle Celebrity Classic to life.”
