Driving Success: Southern Auto Group’s Long-Standing Support for ODU and NSU Athletics

At Southern Auto Group, our commitment to community extends beyond the showroom floor. A cornerstone of our Southern Values Program is our deep-rooted support for local institutions, and we’re particularly proud of our enduring partnerships with the athletic programs at Old Dominion University (ODU) and Norfolk State University (NSU).
For decades, we’ve been more than just a business in the Hampton Roads area – we’ve been a dedicated supporter of our local universities and their student-athletes. Our involvement with ODU and NSU goes beyond simply cheering from the sidelines; it’s about providing tangible support that helps these programs thrive.
One of the ways we’ve consistently shown our commitment is by putting the coaches and athletic directors of both Norfolk State University and Old Dominion University behind the wheel of our vehicles. We understand the demanding schedules and crucial roles these individuals play in shaping young athletes and representing our community. Providing them with reliable transportation is just one way we can help them focus on what matters most – the success of their programs and their student-athletes.
But our support doesn’t stop there! Southern Auto Group is also a proud sponsor of the Football and Basketball athletic programs at both ODU and NSU. We believe in the power of collegiate sports to inspire, unite, and foster a strong sense of community pride. By supporting these high-profile programs, we’re not only contributing to the athletic endeavors of these universities but also helping to create memorable experiences for students, alumni, and the wider community.
Our long-standing relationships with ODU and NSU are a testament to our belief in the importance of investing in local talent and institutions. We see these universities as vital pillars of our community, and their athletic programs play a significant role in shaping the lives of young people and bringing our region together.
We are honored to continue our partnership with Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University, and we look forward to many more years of supporting their athletic programs and the incredible student-athletes who represent them. It’s our way of giving back to the community that has supported us for so long, and we believe that by driving their success, we’re helping to drive the success of our entire region.
