Luther Automotive Group is thrilled to be the exclusive Gold-level sponsor for the 2025 Original Mattress Factory Bedrace for Bridging. An eight-year sponsor of the Bedrace, the Luther Auto team encourages local businesses, family, and friends to participate in this one-of-a-kind winter fundraiser on March 1, 2025 at Buck Hill in Burnsville.

Luther Auto’s Community Engagement Director Matt Oquist plays a vital role in cultivating Luther Auto’s partnership with Bridging and facilitating the local, family-owned organization’s sponsorship of the Bedrace.

“The Bedrace is a great recipe for fun! I don’t want to understate it. Everyone cares about Bridging and is there to have fun. It’s a great day! We love to get out , dress up in costumes, and race down the hill. It’s great to hang out in a fun environment, cheer people on, and celebrate with the community.

Guided by its Driven to Serve focus, Luther Auto is committed to the community and Bridging’s important mission of working alongside individuals and families as they transition to housing stability.

“We’re committed to helping families move forward. Bridging supports everyone who comes through their doors and helps transform an empty house into a furnished home. As a community, we can help people find stability and success by supporting important resources like Bridging.”

Luther Auto’s 25 dealerships and employee teams support Bridging’s mission in multiple ways: sponsoring and attending the Bedrace and Gala for Bridging, donating furniture, and sponsoring dresser builds, one of Bridging’s many group volunteer projects.

The organization’s strong partnership and Gold-level Bedrace sponsorship are helping Bridging grow to meet the community’s continually rising demand for its services.  Tremendous community fundraising for the Bedrace has raised nearly $2 million in the last twenty-five years to help Bridging.

Bridging champion Luther Auto encourages businesses and the community to join the fun at the Bedrace and Fundraise BIG for the event!

“The Bedrace is a really fun way for companies and teams to volunteer, fundraise, and help furnish homes with hope. We hope everyone will come out and support this event. The community’s fundraising efforts add up to a significant impact. And when people are thinking of swapping out their furniture, we hope they will donate it to Bridging.”
