MAY 2017 BUSINESS OF THE MONTH – PUMA’S AUTO BODY
Congratulations to Puma’s Auto Body for being awarded the IPCC’s Business of the Month for May 2017. PUMA’S was founded in 1986 by the Late Anthony (Tony) Puma, Jr.(D. 6/18/14). Tony along with his Wife, Gia, raised 5 very proud children, Anthony, Nina, Matthew, Vinny and Frankie, who have carried on Tony’s legacy of providing quality auto body repair and service to our community. A family business and always family minded Tony would bring his children to work. That caring and involvement paid off as the Puma family is still serving the community in the same fashion taught to them by their Father. Puma’s Auto Body handles all facets of Auto Body Repair from detailing and custom pinstriping and body damage repair to frame straightening and custom painting. Their business is an Island Park staple and for that, we are honored to award them the business of the month award. Please come to the IPCC’s Pink Tie/Scarf Mixer to benefit breast cancer on May 23, 2017 at Jimmy Hays Restaurant and celebrate with them as they receive their award!
