JDRF—Emmabella’s Believers

Through Emmabella’s Believers, Cox Chevy provides support for JDRF. This organization is dedicated to helping provide essential research for children diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.

De Soto Grand Parade

Cox Chevrolet is proud to be a presenting sponsor for the De Soto Grand Parade, which is one of the largest parades in the Southeast, featuring over 150 floats! Attendance for this yearly spring event can exceed 100,000 people, so you’ll want to get there early, especially if you’re trying to get a good view of the new Hernando de Soto, the newly-crowned Queen, and the Princess. 

Crosthwait Memorial Fishing Tournament

For going on 40 years now, the Crosthwait Memorial Fishing Tournament is held each year to pay tribute to Colonel Sam Crosthwait. Held every year in May, the event is the most long-standing multi-species tournament in the region and draws hundreds of anglers and crowds numbering in the thousands. Most notably, charitable community donations from the Crosthwait have exceeded $150,000 over the course of the last 10 years alone.
