Bird-Kultgen Cares

by Claire Kultgen

The Bird-Kultgen Family has been committed to caring for the greater Waco community since 1936. Waco is our home – where we work, play, and raise our families. The most important thing we do is care for others in our community, and we do this through volunteering and sponsoring local events. We are proud of the impact our family-owned dealership has had on our hometown through our efforts to run an honest, successful business.

The Bird-Kultgen Cares Committee is made up of employees from each department- service, sales, parts, collision repair center, and business office. The committee helps to determine which charities and local events we can reach each year, and also coordinates our volunteering.

This year, the committee along with our selfless crew of volunteers and generous supporters contributed to Toys for Tots with a holiday gift drive, helped construct a ramp with Habitat for Humanity that will allowed for a local civic leader to enter and exit his home, provided pet food, water, and supplies to hurricane relief efforts, donated $10,000 to the National Automotive Dealerships of America Emergency Relief Fund, which offers emergency assistance to dealership employees who have been affected by unforeseen emergencies and natural disasters, and supported dozens and dozens of local charities and fundraising events.

We also support the J. H. Kultgen Automotive Technology Center on the Texas State Technical College Waco Campus. Dedicated in 1970, just five years after the establishment of the campus, the J. H. Kultgen Automotive Technology Center along with TSTC helps to prepare students for successful careers in our flourishing Texas economy.

The BK Cares Committee welcomes giving requests from any local charity. We’re grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to give back in 2017. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives and the Waco community.
