More Than Just Scholarships.

Driven to Care isn't just about funding education. It's about connecting people who share a common belief: that skilled, passionate automotive professionals deserve support, recognition, and opportunity. 

Every scholarship awarded creates a ripple effect: students become alumni, donors inspire new supporters, partners expand opportunities, and together we're building a thriving community united by automotive passion.

Where Passion Meets Purpose

Our community is made up of scholarship recipients pursuing their dreams, industry partners investing in workforce development, generous donors making it all possible, and volunteers sharing their expertise.

 

Together, we're creating pathways to automotive careers while honoring John Weinberger's legacy of measuring success in smiles.
