Essex Motors, Longmont

Mike Burgio, owner, recently gave $3,000 to a very needy cause, the Longmont Humane Society. He also gave to the Colorado Flood Foundation to help relocate those affected by the 2013 September floods.

He appreciates all Longmont has done for them over the past 30 years. Being able to give back is very rewarding.

Rose Crispin, one of the managers of Essex Motors, has been a member of the Chamber of Commerce as well as serving as a board member in the Longmont Rotary for many years.

Mike wants to thank Mariana Narowski of Enterprise Rent-a-Car for their portion of the donation to the Longmont Humane Society. Enterprise Rent-a-Car is very big on giving back.

The true heroes are the volunteers who give so much of their time to the humane society. Mike says hats off to them.
