program at Hamilton Heights High School during the 2019-20 school year.

The Ida Award is given to a person who has worked behind the scenes to help children overcome obstacles to become leaders.

It is centered around ten universal principles needed for success: respect, integrity, self-control, courage, humility, excellence, compassion, enthusiasm, teamwork and honor.

ADVOCATE MEMBERS

rand Champion Janel Keesling knows what it’s like to walk into a car dealership as a woman and feel pressured and overwhelmed.

“We’d like to think the world treats women equally, but there are presumed biases,” says Keesling, who, along with her husband Cole, owns CarSnoop, an innovative way to buy, lease or trade-in a vehicle from your phone, or computer. The beauty of CarSnoop is that dealerships don’t have any idea of the customer’s gender or race—only the city in which they reside. Hence, the buying experience is simplified.

“In light of the pandemic, we’ve all changed the way we buy everything,” says Keesling, noting that consumers would rather browse for cars while relaxing on their back porch than wander countless dealerships.

“We do all the legwork and even have a full concierge service to find the car you desire,” says Keesling. “Want a blue 2020 Honda Accord with XYZ features? We’ll find the best offers from dealerships.”

CarSnoop enables the buyer to do all the paperwork from home and then they deliver the car directly to your home.

“You literally don’t have to go anywhere,” says Keesling. “It’s a stress-free experience all the way around.”

I LOVE HOW EASY AND CONVENIENT IT WAS. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND VERY INFORMATIVE.

I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW EASY IT WAS. I DOWNLOADED THE CARSNOOP APP FROM MY PHONE, PICKED OUT MY CAR AND CHOSE THE LOWEST PAYMENT. THE DEALERSHIP DELIVERED IT TO MY HOUSE.

- AMY

CARSNOOP MADE THE PROCESS SO EASY AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS IN CONTROL OF BUYING MY NEW CAR! FINALLY A WAY TO BUY A CAR WITHOUT ALL OF THE HASSLE!”
