Ryan Dolan, Dolan Auto Group CEO, formed the Dolan Class Project back in 2011.
“One of our favorite parts of the Class Project is seeing the creativity and passion that students and teachers bring to their ideas,” said Ryan Dolan. “They see opportunities to make their schools and communities better, and we get to play a small part in helping make that happen.”
Since its launch, the Dolan Class Project has awarded more than $1 million to local schools and classrooms and inspired nearly 800 submissions from educators and students across northern Nevada. Approximately 350,000 community votes have been cast over the program’s 15-year history.
