At Gib's RV Superstore, our approach has always been about more than just business; it's about setting a standard in excellence for our customers and team while making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. This year at the RVDA Convention in Las Vegas, we were humbly recognized for these efforts through several prestigious awards. These awards are a reflection of our team's commitment to quality service and innovation, as well as our dedication to community involvement. We invite you to join us as we share these moments and continue our journey of service and support.
RVBusiness Top 50 Dealer Award
Our team was once again in the spotlight last week, having been honored with the RVBusiness Top 50 Dealer Award for the fifth time since its inception in 2012. This recognition places us among the top 50 dealerships across North America known for setting high standards in the RV industry. The award acknowledges our efforts in various aspects such as business operations, teamwork, and community involvement. It's a symbol of our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional customer service and maintaining superior business operations. Our consistent presence in this prestigious list highlights our role as an industry leader.
The significance of this award is amplified by the fact that it is based on nominations from our industry peers. The detailed application process required for this award is both rigorous and enlightening, serving as a catalyst for growth and improvement within our team each year. It is indeed a collaborative effort, reflecting not only our business acumen but also our dedication to the community. We take great pride in our contributions to both the business and the wider RV industry, and this award is a powerful reminder of the impact we have made together as a team.
Arthur J. Decio Humanitarian Award
In a significant acknowledgment of our broader community impact, Gib's RV Superstore was also the proud recipient of the Arthur Decio Humanitarian Award. This distinction is particularly meaningful to us, as it extends beyond our business achievements to recognize our humanitarian efforts. This award is a testament to our team's dedication to making a positive and lasting impact in the community.
Kids' Hope Center
Our involvement with the Kids’ Hope Center at Bay Area Hospital is a cornerstone of our community efforts. This compassionate facility offers crucial support for children who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. Over the past year, we've contributed over $5,000 to various programs and events at the center. Our team has eagerly participated in initiatives like Christmas Tree Decorations, banquet sponsorships, and significant donations. Notably, Ray and Lisa Larkin, the owners of Gib's RV, were honored with the Kids’ Hope Center’s 2023 Community Philanthropy Award.
South Coast ESD
Another heartwarming project led by our office manager, Kayla, involved the South Coast ESD. Understanding the need for warmth among local school children, Kayla ensured the delivery of over $5,000 worth of sweatshirts to be discreetly distributed by school nurses. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to practical, caring solutions for our community's needs.
Supporting Local K9 Units
Our dedication to the community also extends to supporting local K9 units. This year, we experienced the loss of K9 Raven from the Coos County Sheriff K9 unit and the retired K9 Odin, both of whom left a significant impact on the community. In response, we contributed $1,000 to the fundraiser for K9 Raven’s replacement and facilitated the sale of their t-shirts in our parts department. We also actively promoted their cause on our social media platforms. Our efforts contributed to the introduction of K9 Poe, a new member of the unit, who has already captured our hearts.
Motility Software Solutions Trailblazer Award
This year, Gib's RV Superstore was honored to receive the Motility Software Solutions Trailblazer Award. This prestigious award recognizes dealerships that are pioneers in the industry, blazing trails with innovative approaches and technologies. As champions of Motility, we are committed to supporting our peers in maximizing the use of Motility Solutions. We consistently adopt new ideas, technologies, and trends, and our adoption of MotilityAnywhere represents the pinnacle of our forward-thinking strategy. The award was graciously presented by Lance Zumwalt, Motility's Director of Sales, and we are immensely proud of this recognition.
A Heartfelt Thank You
These awards and our community initiatives signify the trust and support of our customers and the hard work of our dedicated team. We are deeply grateful for your continued patronage, which drives us to maintain high standards and seek continuous improvement.
As we celebrate these achievements and community contributions, we are inspired to further elevate our service, community involvement, and technological integration in the RV industry.
