Episode #1105: Chris Reeves joins Paul and Kyle to share the who, what, where, why and how of auto dealers giving back to their communities.


Fred Martin has spent decades in the car business, but his latest gift is all about the arts.


Martin recently made a $500K gift to Lake Erie College. And while that number alone is impressive, it’s how he chose to give that makes this story something special.


Fred’s donation includes two top-of-the-line Steinway pianos. One is a concert grand that will take its place in the college’s Morley Music Hall for students to perform and practice. The second is a Spirio Player, a self-playing model that will be housed in the school’s historic Manor House, serving as a centerpiece during campus events and community gatherings.


“I am deeply grateful to Fred Martin for this extraordinary investment in our students and campus,” said Lake Erie College President Jennifer Schuller. “By honoring his family legacy in this way, Fred has created something truly meaningful and enduring.”
