The Pat and Diana Priestner Family, Lexus On The Park, and all CanadaOne Cares Dealerships, are dedicated to making a meaningful, lasting difference through thoughtful charitable giving. By supporting the needs of our communities we're building more than a company; we're building a legacy of care and commitment.
Canada One Cares
We're Proud to Support
Trees Of Joy
Lexus On The Park Supports Trees of Joy Canada
Some gifts are wrapped in paper. Others are wrapped in hope.
At Lexus On The Park, we're incredibly proud to support Trees of Joy Canada—an inspiring initiative that transforms the holiday season into something truly unforgettable for children facing critical illnesses and their families.
Each beautifully decorated tree tells a unique story, designed especially for a wish child and filled with the magic, wonder, and joy they deserve. Behind every ornament is a child whose courage inspires us all, and a family who is reminded that they are surrounded by a community that cares.
For us, this is about more than decorating a tree. It's about creating moments of happiness during life's hardest journeys, celebrating resilience, and giving children the chance to simply be kids—to dream, to smile, and to believe in something magical.
We are honoured to play a small part in helping make those moments possible and to stand alongside a community united by compassion, generosity, and hope.
Because every child deserves a season filled with joy, and every wish deserves the chance to shine.
Their Opportunity
Lexus On The Park Supports Their Opportunity
Every child deserves the chance to play, belong, and believe in their potential.
At Lexus On The Park, we're proud to support Their Opportunity and its mission to remove barriers that prevent children from participating in sports and community programs. We believe that the lessons learned on a court, a field, or a rink go far beyond the game—they build confidence, resilience, leadership, and lifelong friendships.
What makes Their Opportunity especially inspiring is its commitment to creating a cycle of generosity. By encouraging young participants to give back through volunteerism, they're not only empowering children through sport—they're nurturing the next generation of compassionate community leaders.
Together, we're helping create opportunities that change lives, opening doors for children to discover their strengths, chase their dreams, and grow into their fullest potential.
Because when every child has the opportunity to play, every community has the opportunity to thrive.
United Way Greater Toronto
Lexus On The Park Supports United Way Greater Toronto
Strong communities are built when people lift each other up.
At Lexus On The Park, we're proud to support United Way Greater Toronto and its unwavering commitment to creating a region where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. From helping families put food on the table and supporting newcomers, to addressing homelessness, mental health, youth development, and employment opportunities, their impact reaches every corner of our community.
We believe that meaningful change begins with compassion and grows through collective action. By investing in local organizations and bringing people together to solve complex challenges, United Way is helping build stronger, more resilient neighbourhoods where no one is left behind.
Supporting this mission is about more than giving back—it's about standing with our neighbours, believing in their potential, and helping create a future where every child, every family, and every individual has the support they need to succeed.
Together, we're building a Greater Toronto Area defined not by its challenges, but by the strength, kindness, and generosity of the people who call it home.
A Legacy of Care and Compassion
In the demanding world of retail automotive, mental health often takes a back seat. The challenges faced by dealership teams, especially during the pandemic, highlighted the critical need for support and understanding.
Pat Priestner, our founder, recognized this need and turned his personal reflections into action. Originally written as a heartfelt memoir for his children and grandchildren, Notes for the Children shares Pat's journey of overcoming personal and professional challenges while prioritizing mental well-being. Drawing from over 50 years in the retail automotive industry, he candidly addresses his struggles, lessons learned, and the practices that helped him navigate life's ups and downs.
Today, Pat visits our dealerships to share these experiences firsthand, fostering conversations around mental health and personal growth. His book is a blend of personal stories and practical advice—a testament to the transformative power of small, meaningful changes.
All proceeds from Notes for the Children will go to charities that support well-being across Canada, helping to extend the impact of his message beyond our organization.
