There’s truly nothing more exciting than spending time doing something you love and 7-year old Jason L. loves Balise Collision Repair! Back in January, Brian Stone, Collision Repair Director in Rhode Island, showed Jason and his dad, Todd, around both Balise Collision Repair Centers in Warwick and West Warwick for a behind-the-scenes shop tour. Not only did he get to go where most don’t, he was welcomed by the team with some Balise Collision apparel and gift items to make the trip a memorable one. “He was in his glory, to say the least,” recalls Stone thinking back on the day. It was one he’ll never forget. The next week, the Balise Collision team received a letter from Jason’s school teacher thanking them for taking the time to make Jason feel special. “Recently a student of mine, Jason, came in for a tour. His father took some video that Jason was able to share with us at school. For quite some time Jason has been very interested in cars, and Balise Collision,” she wrote in the note. “The joy on Jason’s face when he was able to share the video with not only our class, but the second grade class, was priceless.” And Jason isn’t the only one who will look back on the day fondly. The entire Balise group is honored to have welcomed Jason into our family and couldn’t be happier to have made his day special. We hope he’ll come back and visit soon!
Balise Hosts “Up Close and Personal with Billy Gilman” at Balise Toyota of Warwick
Our Balise team is thrilled to announce we will be hosting Rhode Island native and NBC’s The Voice: Season 11 runner-up Billy Gilman at Balise Toyota of Warwick on January 29th! After hearing many of Billy’s biggest local fans were unable to obtain tickets for his show at Veteran Memorial Auditorium on January 28th (his first show in RI since returning from The Voice), we knew we could help! Beginning at 3:00pm, Billy will perform a few of his popular songs as well as meet and take photos with his biggest fans. We’re also partnering with Hasbro Children’s Hospital– a organization near and dear to both Balise and Billy. With a $20 donation to the hospital, fans will get a photograph of Billy to be signed that day! As we’re sure most of you already know, Billy rose to fame in 2000 when he released his hit single “One Voice”. His debut album went double platinum in the United States and he was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the youngest singer to reach the #1 on the Billboard Top Country Album charts. Billy’s run on The Voice was just another amazing step in his musical career and we couldn’t be more supportive! We’re excited to have him–and to host all of you! The event is open to the public.
