Mayor Funkhouser Gives Away 2 Year Lease for smartcarfortwo
 


Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser delivered good news to a Kansas City area couple on Tuesday as he gave away a two-year lease to a smartfortwo car. The lease, donated by Mercedes Benz of Kansas City and smart center Kansas City, was an incentive for donations to the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund. Store Manager Joe Lasker was on hand to help give away the lease to the car.

"We really appreciate all the donations to the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund," said Mayor Funkhouser. "Several area companies and many individuals stepped up to make this a brighter holiday for those in need. I can’t thank Kansas City enough for its generosity."

The Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund passed out about $28,000 in Price Chopper gift cards to needy families.

The Mayor surprised the winners of the car lease, Greg and Melodie Foreman, at Highland Park Elementry School in Lee's Summit, where Greg works as a music teacher.  The winners also received a prize package donated by Crown Center merchants – from fudge to a giant stuffed tiger.
