The Bert Ogden Auto Group is a privately held, family-owned and operated business, and we approach our work with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Helping others is the cornerstone of our business model, and this is not just something we say; it’s a core part of our identity that we live by every day.
We firmly believe that one of the greatest blessings that comes with running a successful organization is the chance to give back to our community. It fills us with immense pride and joy to support incredible causes that touch our hearts deeply.
Bob and Janet Vackar laid the foundation of our philanthropic journey over four decades ago. They devoted their time and energy to serving on various boards and tirelessly contributed to causes that mattered to them. Most importantly, they set an example for our team members by living out their values, always emphasizing the importance of expressing gratitude through generosity and kindness.
Over the years, the Vackars have extended their support to children with disabilities, animal shelters, food pantries, and even established a dual enrollment Christian High School. They’ve provided millions in scholarships for higher education and have received the honor of having a business college named after Mr. Vackar, among many other remarkable contributions.
The true happiness of the Vackars shines brightest when they are bringing joy to those around them through their giving. As any team member with the Bert Ogden Auto Group can tell you, it’s a privilege to follow in their footsteps and continue this legacy of gratitude and benevolence that they have begun and continue to pursue.
