Mercedes-AMG x Road to Racing: Power Meets Purpose
Mercedes-Benz Canada is proud to partner with Road to Racing (R2R), Canada’s only motorsports charity. With a mission to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, R2R ensures that young athletes from all backgrounds have the opportunity to reach their full potential and achieve their dreams of racing professionally.
Power Meets Purpose: In support of our partnership with Road to Racing, we invited Mercedes-AMG owners to unleash the track-bred technology of their vehicles at an exclusive track experience —all in support of the next generation of Canadian motorsport talent.
“Mercedes-Benz is synonymous with excellence, and together we’re creating opportunities for young athletes while delivering unforgettable experiences to clients. With this new partnership, Mercedes-AMG joins a growing network of forward-thinking companies helping to redefine what motorsports sponsorship looks like: high-impact, values-aligned, and community-driven.”
Neil Braun, Founder and President of Road to Racing Canada
Employee & Dealer Engagement
Mercedes-Benz Canada Employee & Dealer Engagement
Mercedes-Benz employees want to make tangible contributions to the communities where we live and work. The Mercedes-Benz Canada corporate office in Mississauga, Ontario has partnered with two local chapters of BBBS (Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel York and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto), encouraging employee participation in BBBS programming and fundraising, and enabling meaningful volunteer opportunities.
Mercedes-Benz Canada offers two paid volunteer days per year for employees to volunteer as mentors with their local chapter of BBBS.
In addition to Mercedes-Benz Canada’s corporate initiatives, Mercedes-Benz dealers across the country bring Driving Your Future to life in their local communities. For example, Mercedes-Benz dealers have welcomed Bigs & Littles from their local chapters for exciting in-dealership events.
