Understanding that the success of the Auto Group is tied to the success of the community, Brandt and her team contribute to various organizations focusing on education and health. Their support includes notable institutions such as St. Michael’s Special School, St. Mary’s Dominican, Archbishop Chapelle, Archbishop Rummel, Children’s Hospital New Orleans, West Jefferson Medical Center, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the American Heart Association, the National WWII Museum, and more.
“We take great pride in our affiliation with Jefferson Parish,” said Brandt. “Our ongoing investment in this community is not only the right thing to do; it benefits us all in the long run. We are committed to ensuring the continued prosperity of this parish for generations to come.”
With a steadfast dedication to their customers and a profound sense of responsibility to the community, the Ray Brandt Auto Group is a shining example of business leadership intertwined with community service.
