GM Canada To Raffle Off Chevy Silverado HD For Charity

GM Canada has announced it will raffle off a 2022 Chevy Silverado HD to benefit a charity local to the GM Oshawa Assembly plant in southern Ontario.
The prize truck will be the first 2022 Chevy Silverado HD model to roll off the assembly line at the Oshawa plant, which began production of the vehicle this week. All proceeds from raffle ticket sales will benefit the Durham Children’s Aid Foundation (DCAF), an Oshawa-based non-profit responsible for providing child protection services to children under the age of 16 in the Durham region.
In a statement, GM Canada said donating to the DCAF “continues the legacy of Sharon Clark,” a former employee of the Oshawa Assembly plant that ran a holiday gift charity for underprivileged youth called “Sharon’s Kids.” Clark lost her battle with cancer in 2020, although GM Canada continues to support children’s aid efforts in the Durham region in her honor. Since 2018, GM Canada and its employees have donated more than $500,000 to Sharon’s Kids, which is now an integrated part of the DCAF.
Scott Bell, GM Canada president and managing director, said the automaker is “especially pleased that the first truck off the line will help GM and our Canadian dealers raise money for Sharon’s Kids, one of our favorite charities in Durham Region.”
The start of production of the 2022 Chevy Silverado HD marks an important milestone in the Oshawa Assembly plant’s history. The plant’s future was previously in doubt after GM closed the facility in 2019, but it will now be one of its important North American plants, serving as the only facility that produces both light-duty and heavy-duty pickups side-by-side. The automaker invested $1.3 billion Canadian dollars in the Oshawa assembly plant to prepare it for pickup truck production, which went toward a new body shop and flexible assembly module, among other upgrades.
