Families Gather for Clifford and Driving Safety at Fort Bend Children’s Discovery Center

Mercedes-Benz of Sugar Land is excited to share that, in partnership with the Fort Bend Children’s Discovery Center (FBCDC), we successfully concluded our Summer Educational Series with a fun-filled, complimentary event for members and community participants. Families from around the Greater Houston area gathered to celebrate the launch of the new book Clifford Takes a Ride and to discuss driving safety through engaging activities and demonstrations. 

The event featured a special reading of Clifford Takes A Ride, a new collaborative book by Mercedes-Benz USA, Scholastic, and Safe Kids Worldwide which highlights the importance of proper passenger safety. We also had an interactive education station covering seat belt best practices. Following the book reading, children enjoyed designing their own Clifford dog ears, getting Clifford-themed face paintings, and participating in interactive car safety demonstrations, all designed to educate and entertain.  

“Partnering with Mercedes-Benz of Sugar Land for this event helps us achieve our mission of providing meaningful and educational experiences for children,” said Tracy Golden, Chief Development Officer at Fort Bend Children’s Discovery Center. “We are excited to see our community come together to learn about driving safety in such a fun and engaging way.” 

Guests were treated to complimentary access to the FBCDC, which provided the ideal environment to complement the instructions from the new book. Children received a copy of the Clifford Takes a Ride book, a Clifford plush toy, a Clifford-themed t-shirt, and a special Clifford cookie to take home, making the day memorable for all attendees. 

This event marks the successful conclusion of our Summer Education Series which has included the story of the first summer road trip taken by automotive pioneer Bertha Benz. The initiative is part of our dealership’s ongoing commitment to community involvement and the promotion of driving safety.
