DANVERS, Mass.—International Cars, Ltd. (ICL) and its family of dealerships including Honda North, Audi Stratham, Porsche of Stratham, Dover Honda and Dover Chevrolet announced its 14th year as a presenting sponsor of Emmaus’ 29th Annual Cycle for Shelter on Sunday, July 23 in Haverhill, MA. The annual cycling fundraiser supports Emmaus, a community-based non-profit providing housing and services to homeless adults and families. International Cars, Ltd., spanning Eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire, has sponsored the Cycle for Shelter event for 14 years as part of its continued commitment to supporting communities surrounding each of its dealerships.

The Cycle for Shelter event starts at the Hartleb Technology Center at Northern Essex Community College at 100 Elliott Street in Haverhill, MA. Cyclists can visit http://events.emmausinc.org/ to register for 100-, 62-, 40-, and 20-mile courses. Since the first Cycle for Shelter ride in 1989, over 7,500 cyclists and volunteers have helped Emmaus to raise more than $1.4 million.

“ICL is proud to once again support Emmaus’ Cycle for Shelter event for the fourteenth consecutive year,” said Richard Collins, President and CEO of International Cars, Ltd. “The work and mission of Emmaus makes such a difference in the lives of so many families in the communities where our dealerships are located, that it makes perfect sense for us to give back and support such a worthy cause.”

Charitable giving is a cornerstone of ICL’s corporate mission for all five of its dealerships, located in Danvers, Massachusetts, and Dover and Stratham, New Hampshire. ICL supports community organizations year-round and most recently contributed to the American Red Cross of Northeast Massachusetts, Northeast Veterans Outreach, Care Dimensions, Table of Plenty (Berwick, ME), SCCA Outreach (Dover, NH), St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry (Exeter, NH), and the Danvers People to People Food Pantry.
