COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

From its founding, Don Hattan Dealerships have operated under the principle of treating customers with kindness and respect. These hometown values influence our involvement in the communities that we serve and our desire to give back.

From Friday night football games to recognizing local heroes, we’re committed to lending neighbors a helping hand and making a lasting impact in the communities that we call home.

He served on multiple boards and positions over the years such as head of the strong kids campaign in 2007 & 2008 helping over 40,000 people in Wichita providing assistance with free or reduced fees and programs and services. He served as President in 2010 and 2011 heading up fundraising of several millions of dollars for the new downtown branch.

“It was always amazing to me how many people utilized these facilities, over 20,000 visits per day in 8 facilities. I was extremely privileged to be able to be involved with such a great organization for all those years. What makes the YMCA so powerful in this city are the great people who support it with their time, talent and treasures.” — Jim Hattan
