Reiselman Motor Company to provide 2021 GMC Yukon Denali for live auction
Franklin, Tenn. (August 16, 2021) – The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, TN has named Reiselman Motor Company as the Official Automotive Sponsor of the 48th Annual Heritage Ball presented by Vanderbiltl Health. The Reiselman Motor Company will provide a completely redesigned 2021 GMC Yukon Denali from their Buick GMC location in Springfield, Tenn. for a live auction to be held during the fundraising event Saturday, Oct. 2 at the Eastern Flank Battlefield Park.
In making the announcement, President and CEO of Heritage Foundation Bari Beasley said, “We are thrilled to partner with Todd and Cortney Reiselman on naming Reiselman Motor Company the Official Automotive Sponsor of the Heritage Ball. They attended our last ball in 2019 and enjoyed it so much they asked how they could be part of the event this year. Not only are they supporting the foundation as a Patron Underwriter of the ball, which is our largest annual fundraiser, but they are providing a 2021 Denali for our live auction. It’s sure to be a highlight of the evening and we embrace their enthusiasm for preservation, education and community.”
Reiselman Motor Company Vice President and Principal Cortney Reiselman said, “We’ve only lived in the area for three years. Upon moving here we constantly heard that we must attend the Heritage Ball. Todd and I thoroughly enjoyed it in 2019 and appreciate the hard work of the Heritage Foundation to preserve the rich history in Williamson County. Not only do we want to see the Denali live auction be successful, but we look forward to helping behind-the-scenes with their team of volunteers or in whatever capacity we can to champion this amazing cause.”
Borrowing its namesake from the tallest peak in North America, Denali is a Koyukon Athabaskan word for “the high one” or “the tall one,” and is the centerpiece of Denali National Park in Alaska. Reiselman Buick GMC will offer their flagship luxury focused Yukon Denali which has been completely redesigned for the 2021 model year. The Denali is the highest trim level of the Yukon and includes these features: 6.2 liter EcoTec V-8 motor, white frost exterior with teak/light shale leather interior, heated and cooled seats, 22” chrome wheels, wireless apple/android carplay, heads-up display, heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, rear media system with dual display, and magnetic ride control.
The Heritage Ball is Williamson County’s longest-running black tie fundraiser and typically attracts more than 800 guests to support and celebrate the work of the Heritage Foundation while raising funds for future preservation projects. In addition to a seated dinner, live music and surprise guest entertainment, the ball will feature an online and live aution, pre-ball Patrons Party and a Late Party, along with other fundraising opportunities.
