On June 4, 2018, the Huntingdon Valley Country Club hosted the 2018 Hit ‘em for the House Golf Outing, presented by Ron Krancer and family. As one of the sponsors for the event, Central City Toyota helped raise $150,000 for the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House (PRMH), which provides comfort and support to families of seriously ill children.
This year, Central City Toyota donated a Hole in One on four holes of Huntington Valley’s historic golf course. Also in attendance were Club House Sponsor, P. Agnes, and Golfer Gift Sponsors, Permalith Plastics, Crowley Chemical, and Rusmar Foam Technologies.
The all-day event featured a competitive tournament on the prestigious course, currently ranked 78 on Golfweek Magazine’s Top 100 Classic Courses. Youngblood Group was the winning foursome of the tournament. The day also included lunch, an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and silent and live auctions.
One of the outing’s highlights was the Helicopter Ball Drop, which was sponsored by Martin’s Famous Potato Rolls and Bread and won by Bobby Smith. You can relive all the exciting action of the Ball Drop below.
Another high point was special guest, Tom Coyne. Besides being an avid golfer, Coyne is the author of A Gentleman’s Game, Paper Tiger: An Obsessed Golfer’s Quest to Play with the Pros, and A Course Called Ireland: A Long Walk in Search of a Country, a Pint, and the Next Tee, as well as an assistant professor of English at St. Joseph’s University.

Why a Used Toyota is a Home Run in Philadelphia, PA
After an exciting winter that saw the Eagles bring the Lombardi trophy home to Philadelphia, baseball season is finally back in Citizens Bank Park. You’re stoked to see if your Phillies can make some noise in the NL East or repeat the magic of the 2008 season — and you should be.
But you can’t plan on seeing Jake Arrieta, Odubel Herrera, Rhys Hoskins, the Philly Phanatic, and the rest of the squad without a good pre-game.
As a proud, official sponsor of the Philadelphia Phillies, Toyota wants to help. Find out which five used Toyota models are perfect for tailgating below.
The Lineup: 5 Used Toyotas to Enhance Your Tailgating
Toyota 4Runner
You can load your bases in the Toyota 4Runner. This midsize SUV packs plenty of cargo space, especially with the seats folded down. That leaves a lot of room for food, beverages, coolers, balls, gloves, and tent supplies. And if you can’t finish all of your peanuts and cracker jacks at the game? Bring some souvenirs home with you. You’ve got enough room.
On deck: The Toyota Highlander.
Toyota Highlander
Choosing this midsize SUV is never an error. The Highlander is loaded with comfort and convenient features. Most recent model years boast a power liftgate, which makes accessing your supplies a breeze. It also gives your fellow diehards some extra sitting room to enjoy the pre-game festivities.
On deck: The Toyota Sequoia.
Toyota Sequoia
This full-size SUV can almost fit an entire bullpen. The Sequoia can seat 7 to 8 passengers comfortably, so you can take the whole team with you. And if you want to split during the seventh inning stretch? The Sequoia can bring them all home.
On deck: The Toyota Tundra.
Toyota Tundra
This full-size pickup truck is Toyota’s power hitter. The Tundra can tow with some of the best in its class, so it’s more than capable of handling your trailers and smokers. And once you get to the lot, the Tundra’s spacious bed provides a place for your buddies to chill while you work the grill.
On deck: The Toyota Tacoma.
Toyota Tacoma
If the Tundra is a size too big for you, this pickup is a good pinch hitter. The Tacoma fits full-size value into a compact truck package. With powerful engine options, responsive handling, available 4WD, a comfortable cabin, and a host of available tech features, the Tacoma is one of the only five-tool players in its segment.

Why Buying a Used Toyota Camry is the Right Call
When you think of a midsize sedan, chances are the Toyota Camry is the first thing that comes to mind. And why wouldn’t it be? The Camry has been the best-selling car in America for 19 of the past 20 years.
Sporty, efficient, comfortable, convenient, and safe, the Camry is the whole package. And with high predicted reliability scores, even used Toyota Camry models are superior to new counterparts. See why you’ll want one for yourself below.
5 Reasons You Should Consider a Used Toyota Camry
Your wallet will thank you
The Camry goes all out in the efficiency department so that you don’t have to go all out at the pump. With an estimated 33 mpg in highway fuel economy, the 2017 model year leaves other midsize sedans at the gas station and even rivals some compact models. Opting for the Toyota Camry Hybrid will spare you even more on your monthly fuel budget.
You’ll be too impressed to be stressed
While other midsize sedans overcomplicate things with tricky infotainment systems, each used Toyota Camry turns in easy-to-use technology. With intuitive interfaces and available Entune™ systems, the Camry makes entertainment, information, and navigation seamless — regardless of the year.
You’ll have fun wherever the road takes you
The Camry is proof that a midsize sedan can be anything but bland. Each model year boasts athletic handling and a host of punchy engine options. When you opt for a Camry with a V6, anywhere from 268 to 301 horsepower will be at your fingertips — whether you’re in the city or on the open road.
So will your passengers
Spacious and comfortable interiors are usually reserved for larger sedans, but the midsize Camry doesn’t like to be left out. That’s why a roomy, well-appointed cabin awaits inside every Camry model. And for a smooth, quiet ride, there’s no better car on the road.
Enjoy peace of mind
The Toyota Camry doesn’t find itself on safety list after safety list by mistake. Thanks to advancements in predictive technology and available Toyota Safety Sense™, this sedan is one of the safest on the road. So when you choose a used Camry, chances are you’re choosing an IIHS Top Safety Pick.

Or, if performance is more your speed, dance companies like the Gwendolyn Bye Dance Center and Philadanco are just a short drive away.

It’s not every day a company gets named to Fortune magazine’s Change the World List, but Toyota has managed to do it twice in three years. In 2015, Toyota had extreme success with hybrid vehicles and earned the number three spot on that year’s list.
And for its most recent honor? The Japanese automaker was ranked number eight out of 50 competing companies for its work with hydrogen strategy and for introducing its new hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the Toyota Mirai.
Why Toyota Was Named an Agent of Change
Fortune and its partners, FSG, the Shared Value Initiative, and Professor Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School, rank the chosen companies using the following three factors:
- Measurable social impact
- Business results
- Degree of innovation
Finally, Fortune editors choose finalists using other reporting and analysis metrics.
The Change the World List recognizes global leaders who are “doing well by doing good,” and Toyota is proud to be recognized for upholding these standards.
Toyota Motor North America chief executive officer Jim Lentz stated that “the Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is leading the way toward positive change and a more sustainable tomorrow.”
The key? Using hydrogen as fuel.
Hydrogen fuel cells produce zero carbon-emissions. What’s more, hydrogen is one of the most abundant resources on the planet and can be found in water, plants, and manure. Toyota decided to harness the power of this clean energy for its latest innovation, the Toyota Mirai.
Although currently available in California, the Mirai is helping to make great strides toward the clean transportation drivers crave.
