Frequently asked

What is Rohrman Impact?

Rohrman Impact is the community giving program of the Rohrman Automotive Group. Across Chicagoland and every community the group's dealerships serve, Rohrman gives back through direct donations and hands-on volunteering. So far in 2026, that adds up to $249,016 for more than 60 organizations, on top of nearly $3 million given all-time since program inception in 2024.

Why did Rohrman start giving back?

Giving back has been part of Rohrman Automotive Group since its founding in 1963. Founder Bob Rohrman grew up with very little, and small acts of kindness left a lasting mark on him. He often told the story of walking more than a mile to school through Midwest winters without a coat, until his elementary school teachers pooled their money to buy him one. That kindness shaped how he built his business, and the organization has followed his lead ever since. Today, Rohrman Impact carries that legacy forward across every dealership in the group. As CEO Ryan Rohrman puts it: "We believe a thriving community lifts everyone up. It's not just about selling cars; it's about investing in the places we call home."

Who was Bob Rohrman, and what is his legacy?

Bob Rohrman built one of the Midwest's largest family-owned dealer groups over more than 50 years before he passed away in 2020. His giving named Rohrman Field at Purdue's Ross-Ade Stadium with a $15 million lead gift, funded the Jefferson High School Performing Arts Center and a tennis complex for Lafayette Central Catholic, and supported Meals on Wheels, Make-A-Wish, and local schools for decades. In 2021 he received the AIADA Lifetime Achievement Award.

How much does Rohrman give back?

So far in 2026, Rohrman Automotive Group has given $249,016 to more than 60 organizations, on top of nearly $3 million given all-time since the Rohrman Impact program was officially created in 2024. In 2025 the group gave $1,236,826, including four signature campaigns: to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, animal shelters and rescues, childhood cancer causes, and the Indiana Donor Network.

How does the $50-per-new-car program work?

For each signature campaign, Rohrman donates $50 for every new vehicle sold across all of its dealerships that month, then presents the total to that cause. For example, this year April supports blood cancer research, June supports animal shelters and rescues, September supports organizations that aid in pediatric cancer, and November supports the Indiana Donor Network in memory of donor hero Kaitlyn Isbell.

What causes does Rohrman support in Chicagoland?

In Chicagoland, Rohrman supports Feed My Starving Children, PAWS Chicago, Boys and Girls Club of Kenosha, Harper College Hawks Care, and Palatine Rotary Club, among others. The group organizes its giving around five areas: volunteerism, education, athletics, cultural programs, and direct donations.

Does Rohrman give time as well as money?

Yes. Alongside the dollars, Rohrman teammates have given 525 hands-on volunteer hours across 12 projects so far in 2026: packing meals with Feed My Starving Children, running blood drives, and refreshing homes and camp grounds across the communities the group serves.

Do Rohrman employees get time off to volunteer?

Yes. Every Rohrman employee gets three paid charity days a year as part of their benefits. They can take a paid day to volunteer for a charity of their choice, and get paid for it. That is on top of the Rohrman Impact program.

Rohrman Impact is the community giving program of the Rohrman Automotive Group. Through direct donations and hands-on volunteering, our dealerships invest in the neighborhoods they serve across Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Proudly serving Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Palatine, Oak Brook, Gurnee, Naperville, and the greater Chicago area, plus Kenosha and Racine, Wisconsin.
