The Crown Automotive Group announced that, for the fourth consecutive year, the local dealer group would help sponsor the Walkers Rising Stars Scholarship Competition. Jim Myers, President and Chief Operating Officer at the Crown Automotive Group, and his wife Melissa have been the emcees for the past several years to help recognize the hard work of the students who compete for the chance to be a Walker’s Rising Star.
"We are always happy to be a part of these community events," said Myers. "Seeing the talents and dedication that the students show is incredibly inspiring."
