REAL LIFE. REAL PROJECTS. Making a real difference. GMC vehicles aren’t made to sit in the

showroom. They’re designed, engineered and built to get things done, to defy the impossible and

to never say the job is over until you’ve overachieved. This is why GMC has joined with the

people and organizations you’re about to meet. People who are making a difference in their

communities and effecting real change. From helping a community learn the value of locally

grown produce or disabled athletes pursue their dreams, GMC is proud to present these stories

of what can really happen in life when you never say never.

GMC. WE ARE PROFESSIONAL GRADE.

USING TECHNOLOGY

TO PULL A COMMUNITY

FORWARD.

In Bradenton, Florida, there’s a group of people with a never-say-never attitude and a bold idea

for community farming: that the community is just as important as the farming. To them, the

job is bigger than just growing food; it’s about growing the health of the entire area. Geraldson

Community Farm uses the latest sustainable growing methods to produce healthy, safe food

for their members and the surrounding area, donating nearly 1000 pounds of excess food to the

local food bank last year alone.

With GMC’s help, the farm ﬁnished installing cisterns for their water retention system and

constructing their community barn, both key steps toward accomplishing their goal of a zero

carbon footprint. Using the farm as both a working classroom and library, they provide the

community with the resources they need to learn about the beneﬁts of locally grown food and

the most efﬁcient ways to farm for themselves.

SO WHAT DOES COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE

HAVE TO DO WITH GMC ENGINEERING?

It’s using technology to work more efﬁciently, just like GMC Savana. From available dealer-installed

WiFi connectivity1to your choice of two available wheelbase conﬁgurations to the broadest V-8

engine lineup in the segment, Savana has the ﬂexibility and capability to match your aspirations

and exceed your ambition. It’s what professional-grade engineering is all about: building vehicles

that do more than just keep up with today’s world. They set the pace for tomorrow. GMC SAVANA.

This catalog shows many vehicles that have been altered or upfitted with equipment, bodies or components supplied to General Motors by an independent

supplier. GM is not responsible for the safety or quality of design features, materials or workmanship of any alterations by such a supplier. See page 16

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE GERALDSON COMMUNITY FARM

Since 2007, the Geraldson Community Farm has operated as a community-supported agriculture program, an

innovative way to connect local consumers with local farmers. Paying for seeds, equipment and labor, 180 members

have invested ﬁnancially in the farm. Each week they come to the farm to receive a portion of that week’s harvest.

GMC SAVANA

↑ Completion of the farm’s barn means a

permanent space to house materials, learning

resources and on-site supervision, and will serve

as a community shelter during hurricane season.

↓ Growing, harvesting and eating locally grown

food increases freshness and beneﬁts the

environment by reducing pollution caused by

transporting the produce over long distances.

↓ The farm’s new water retention system has the capacity to collect up to

87,000 gallons of natural rainwater a year, conserving the area’s natural

resources and moving the farm closer to its goal of a zero carbon footprint.

↓ Using environmentally friendly building techniques

helps use less energy and moves the farm toward

its goal of a zero carbon footprint.

LIFE IS ABOUT

MORE THAN JUST

LIMITATIONS.

NEED TO ADD MORE BACKGROUND HERE

Overcoming obstacles. Pursuing your passion. The conﬁdence to take on any challenge. The men

and women of Team Force Quad Rugby know what it’s like to never say never. Playing a sport that

some would say is beyond them, Team Force makes believers out of anyone who watches them.

With drive, determination and perseverance, they pursue a goal most fully functioning athletes can’t

even dream of: representing their country on the stage of international play.

But with logistics and capability an issue, how to make that dream a reality? They relied on the help

of GMC, traveling over 700 miles from Austin to Alabama to reach the national tryouts. Proving that

big obstacles can always be brought down to size if you have the right attitude. And everyday life

should never be deﬁned by your limitations. Because like the engineering behind GMC, the players

know if you dream big, you’ll ﬁnd you build your life for better things.

THAT’S THE SAME ATTITUDE

WE BUILD INTO EVERY GMC SAVANA.

Designed to stay one step ahead in a fast-changing world, Savana’s innovative engineering breaks

barriers and never slows down. Uncompromised strength and uncommon capability are just two

of the qualities that set it apart. With an available diesel that’s the most powerful in its class and

the ﬁrst full-size van in its class to offer all-wheel drive and StabiliTrak, Savana is used to showing

the doubters what can be done when you apply professional-grade engineering. GMC SAVANA.
