RIVERSIDE, Calif. –

Manheim Riverside has received recognition from the City of Riverside, Calif., for its philanthropic efforts on behalf of community nonprofits, including teen crisis center Operation Safehouse.

Also among its recent community efforts was participating in a fundraiser with Make-A-Wish, joining two other Manheim locations in California.

More than 80 employees from three Manheim operating locations in California and their family members took part in the Make-A-Wish “Walk for Wishes” fundraising event at Castle Park in Riverside, Calif., on April 12.

 The groups from Manheim California (Anaheim), Manheim Riverside and Manheim Southern California (Fontana) participated in the walk and raised $8,520, the second-highest amount raised among sponsors of the Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire event, the company shared.

All three auctions also held bake sales and raffles.
