Propark Mobility Turns Empty Parking Lot into a Drive-In Movie to Benefit Local Food Bank

Hartford, Connecticut – Propark Mobility announced today that the company has raised nearly $1,000 for Foodshare, Greater Hartford’s largest anti-hunger organization, at the recent Park & View Family Movie Night at Z Airport Parking in East Granby, Connecticut.

“With everything taking place in today’s world, we felt that we could take our empty parking lot and, for one night, convert it into an entertaining family experience before we reopened for business at Bradley Airport,” explained John Schmid, Chief Executive Officer of Propark Mobility.  “Through sponsorships and donations, we were able to take a fun night and turn it into something even more meaningful by giving back to our community.”

The Park & View Family Movie Night at Z Airport Parking featured a showing of the 1987 classic movie, Spaceballs.  The event was sponsored by a variety of local businesses, including Feury Image Group, Preferred Electric and Go Graphix, and was attended by over one-hundred people.  Staff from Propark Mobility’s corporate headquarters in Hartford volunteered time at the event.

“Propark’s ‘Carma’ charitable outreach program is important to us, and to have some of our trusted vendors join us in our cause to fight hunger during this global pandemic was inspirational,” said Joe Coppola, Propark Mobility’s Managing Partner. “We’re honored to be able to work alongside some great businesses to raise money for Foodshare to provide up to 2,000 meals to help fight hunger here in Connecticut, and we had a lot of fun doing so.”
