Fuccillo Kia Holds Huge Giveaway at Greenwells
2
Lauren Divet was barely able to keep her emotions
in check. Who could blame her after one of the
great moments of her life? Her husband, Jeff,
had just won a house after coming up huge on the
miniature golf course during a celebration to
commemorate the conclusion of the Fuccillo Kia
Huge-a-Thon at Mike Greenwells on
Thursday. Jeff, a North Fort Myers resident,
practiced for nearly a week at Greenwells,
including playing 64 holes on Wednesday in the
rain and wind to prepare for the event with him
and others who bought or leased a car at Fuccillo
Kia in June. During the event, participants were
eligible to play one nine-hole miniature golf
round for the chance to win a house in Cape Coral
and other prizes. There were 474 who were
eligible. While many of them treated the
competition with a casual attitude, Jeff treated
it as if it was the Masters. It might as well
have been. It was for a house, after all.

I practiced about 40 to 50 hours this week. I
thought I needed to put myself in the best
position to win. If I learned the nuances of the
course, Id know what had to be done to put the
ball in the hole, Jeff said. Jeff may not have
considered another aspect of golf, nerves.
Thankfully, he was able to keep those in control.
I never played for a house, obviously. But its
a good thing. I wasnt sure how my nerves would
affect me today. Somehow I kept it together and
posted a good score, Jeff said, who plays golf
once every few weeks. Hes put his heart and
soul into anything thats been worthwhile and Im
so thankful he got a break today, Lauren said,
emotion cracking her voice. He played 64 holes
here yesterday just to get to know the course.
Hes been here since we bought the car. John
said he would probably take the cash option of
75,000 and use it to pay the bills and go on
vacation. He is also looking into starting a new
business in the fall and said the money would go
a long way toward that. Carlos Chavez of Fort
Myers finished second and won a brand new Kia
Soul. David Lampley of Fort Myers won the TV. A
60-inch big-screen TV, gas grill and a Blu-Ray
home theater system were also given
away. Everyone who purchased or leased a new Kia
at Fuccillo Kia in June received a 1,000
check. Billy Fuccillo, owner of Fuccillo Kia,
said the giveaways, of which there have been
numerous, is a great way to give back to the
community that has made his Kia dealership the
biggest in the country.

The first four years have been unbelievable.
People have really supported us. So, we try to
give back as much as we can, Billy Fuccillo
said. It means when I go to bed tonight Ive
done the right thing and made people happy. It
was a great turnout. Greenwells did a great job.
They really stepped up to the plate, said Xavier
Villarreal, general manager. This is not a
gimmick. Billy loves giving back. He can mingle
with the crowd. And giving someone the keys to a
house is the American dream. What more can you
ask for? Source https//www.fuccillo.com/fuccil
