When he took over the business after his father\u2019s death in 1968, DeBoer created his own legacy by making Lithia Motors a symbol of hard work, honor, and family \u2014 with nearly 300 locations, it is now the third largest automotive retailer in the United States. Believing that greatness is determined not by what you have, but by what you give, DeBoer is the founder and president of the Sid and Karen DeBoer Foundation, which supports youth-mentoring programs, hospitals, the arts, cancer research, and universities, among other worthy causes. DeBoer is also the founder of Lithia4Kids, an initiative dedicated to teaching, inspiring, strengthening, and empowering today\u2019s youth through more than $5 million in donations to organizations and programs that enrich the lives of children and their families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History Makers The Oregon Historical Society\u2019s annual Oregon History Makers Awards &amp; Dinner recognizes contemporary individuals and organizations that are positively shaping the history, culture, and landscape of Oregon.
