WEBE108 Maritime Chevrolet Christmas Wish GRANTED to Emmus

Jody nominated Emmus for a WEBE108 Maritime Chevrolet Christmas Wish after Emmus saved her son’s life last year. Jody’s son got his head stuck in a car window, and Emmus heroically freed him from the window. Her son was in a coma for two weeks, but luckily survived. A truly incredible story! We’re happy to grant Emmus $1,000 to Dick’s Sporting Goods and $108 to Duchess Restaurants.
