Continuing what has become an exciting off-season tradition, the Young Automotive Group will provide eight coaches at Weber State University with Hyundai Tucsons for a year at Young Hyundai on June 26.
“We’re incredibly grateful to keep this initiative going,” said John Burgett, general manager of Young Hyundai. “As an Ogden business, we understand the impact that Wildcat sports have on our community. The partnership we have with Weber State is one that we cherish, and we look forward to this opportunity to celebrate it.”
The recipients will be honored and awarded during a celebration at Young Hyundai. Each Tucson will feature a signature wrap that includes Young Automotive Group and Goldenwest Credit Union brand elements. Goldenwest will also offer Wildcat supporters a discount on insurance through QR codes on the vehicles.
“The Tucson’s known for its versatility as well as its ability to fit the needs of drivers,” said Burgett. “It’s a stylish vehicle with a beautiful interior, remarkable off-road capabilities and great fuel efficiency. We’re confident the coaches will love them.”
Known for sponsoring several of the school’s most prominent athletic contests, the Young Automotive Group first awarded vehicles to coaches during 2024 at Young Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Morgan — providing recipients with Jeep Gladiators. These vehicles were driven for personal use, as well as to attend coach’s show events at Young Automotive Group locations and charitable gatherings held by the dealership business’ non-profit, the Young Caring for Our Young Foundation.
“We are absolutely delighted with the Young family’s dedication in nurturing and expanding our partnership,” said Tim Crompton, the university’s athletic director, during last year’s event. “The Young family and Young Automotive Group are long time valued members of our community. We are excited to celebrate our deeper collaboration.”
The full list of coaches receiving a vehicle will be announced during the event — which will be free to attend and open to the public.
