Speigl, a Michigan native and a University of Michigan alumnus, relocated to Ann Arbor with his wife and five children from Florida to run the dealerships and said a major goal is to continue Dunning’s legacy of community involvement and charitable giving.

Throughout the event, Speigl and his team members presented local organizations with checks ranging from $10,000 to $25,000. The organizations included the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Washtenaw County, Food Gatherers and the Humane Society of Huron Valley. Speigl said employee involvement in community giving is important to supporting his company’s mission.
