Layton, UT – A significant moment in a long-standing partnership, the Young Automotive Group provided 15 coaches at Weber State University with Jeep Gladiators for a year at Young Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Morgan on July 26.

"Having an opportunity to provide these vehicles to impactful individuals is something we're incredibly grateful for," said Brad Taylor, Young Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Morgan. "This is a day we've looked forward to for a while. We have several big Wildcat fans across the company, so we're always excited for times we get to engage with the university."

The event featured speeches from the Young Automotive Group's chief operations officer Oliver Young, Weber State's athletic director Tim Crompton, and GoldenWest Credit Union's chief executive officer Kerry Wahlen. 

Each Gladiator features a signature wrap that represents school sponsors such as the Young Automotive Group and GoldenWest Credit Union. Thank you cards could be seen behind the windshields of the units during the ceremony as well.

"As coaches, we're always trying to build into our community," Delahoussaye said. "We're trying to build our athletes and we're trying to do all these things, and that can be a daunting task on days, but having support from [the Young Automotive Group] and having support in lots of other ways is so helpful both for us just to do it, but also just feeling the support is big for us, for our players, for our athletes."

A celebration held during the company's 100 year anniversary, the Young Automotive Group was established in 1924 by Seldon "Jack" Olsen in Morgan, Utah. Today, they operate over 30 automotive and powersports franchises across Utah, Idaho and Montana.

Young Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Morgan joined the company after being acquired in 2013. They are one of the Young Automotive Group's three Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealers. 

"If you've looked at the way the Young Automotive Group has celebrated a century in business, it's all been incredibly partner and community focused," Crompton said. "That's just who they are as a business, and why we love working with them."
