The holiday season brought extra sparkle to Northwest Ohio this year as one of Taylor Automotive Family’s very own Community Ambassador, Terry Crosby, was honored with a special guest appearance in the Nutcracker student performance at Live Arts Toledo. This cherished production — presented by Toledo Ballet and part of the annual Nutcracker tradition — is among the longest-running holiday ballets in North America, delighting audiences each December at the Stranahan Theater.

The holiday season is a time for giving, joy, and bringing cheer to children and families in need across Northwest Ohio. This year, Taylor Automotive Family was honored to once again support the ANGELS Outreach Toy Drive — a beloved annual event that helps brighten the holidays for local kids.

Partnering once again with Hannah’s Socks, a local nonprofit dedicated to restoring dignity and warmth one pair at a time, Taylor dealerships across Northwest Ohio stepped up in a big way. Together, the community donated more than 500 pairs of new socks — a meaningful contribution to families and individuals in need throughout the region.
