At 5 a.m. on Sunday morning, while most of us were sleeping, Shelby Weber's name was being announced as the winner of the Unionville High School After Prom Car Giveaway, donated by Scott Honda.
"I was completely shocked when they announced my name," Weber told Sconda. "I decided to do the drawing this year on a whim, not
thinking that I would get it, but it definitely is a blessing! Everyone around me was so happy that I received the car because they knew that I would be able to use it!"
Weber, an 18-year-old senior, explained that she was going to have to share a car with her sister all summer, but now that notion is a thing of the past. She'll have her own car during the summer months and when she begins attending La Roche College in Pittsburgh Pa, where she will major in interior design and play volleyball.
"She was so tired and so happy, all she could
do was smile," said Judy McClaskey, one of the members of the UHS After Prom Steering Committe. "This morning I was making rounds (at UHS) and stopped in the
office, they wanted to know who won. When I told them Shelby, one secretary actually started to cry and said a nicer kid
could not have won!"
This is the third year Scott Honda has donated a car. Weber's prize was a '00 Honda Accord LX V6 sedan, with 92,000 miles.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, I am so grateful," said a grateful Weber.
From all of us at Scott Honda, you are most welcome! Enjoy your new car and drive safe.
