Ramey Auto Group continued its longtime support of the local community on Monday, making a donation to fund the recently revived Bluefield College Rams football team. The West Virginia car dealer presented Bluefield College president Dr. David Olive and Rams football coach Mike Gravier with a $5,000 check.
Bluefield College is more than just a local school to WV car dealer Ramey Auto Group. Jonathan Sheets, sales manager at Ramey Toyota, says that the donation is “something that Mr. Ramey wanted to do. We have a lot of employees and a lot of his family that’s graduated from Bluefield College. [We] just feel really fortunate to contribute to a program like this”.
This is not the first time that the West Virginia auto dealer has offered its support to local athletic programs: “any type of athletics, from pee-wee football to collegiate football, we’re just happy to be a part of it”, says Sheets.
Bluefield College recently announced that its football team will begin playing again after a 69 year absence from the field. The school disbanded the Rams football program in 1941 because most of its male athletes had been called away to serve in World War II. The Bluefield College Rams are scheduled to begin club play in fall 2011 and intercollegiate matchups during the 2012 football season.
