Being a family-owned business in Hutchinson means more to us than the vehicles on our lot — it means being part of a community that genuinely looks out for one another. On Monday, July 20, we got to live that out when Jay Malone Motors sponsored the annual Hutchinson Chamber Golf Challenge, dressed up this year in a big “Viva Las Hutchinson” theme. Great weather, great people, and a great reminder of why we love calling this town home.
Jay Malone Motors was proud to serve as a hole-in-one sponsor at the 2026 Hutchinson Chamber Golf Challenge, hosted by the Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism — right alongside our friends at Five Star Financial. Showing up for community events like this is a big part of who we are, and we are thankful to the Chamber for another outstanding day.
A Hometown Tradition
Every summer, the Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism hosts the Hutchinson Chamber Golf Challenge, and it has become one of those events that just captures the spirit of a small town. Local businesses, neighbors, and friends come together for a day of golf, food, and fun — and you absolutely do not need to be a good golfer to have a blast. This year’s “Viva Las Hutchinson” theme brought the energy, with costumes, decked-out golf carts, staffed holes, and lots of good-natured competition all over the course.
What makes it special is not the final score — it is the connections. This is where local business owners reconnect, new friendships take root, and the ties that keep Hutchinson strong get a little tighter. We would not miss it.
Proud to Sponsor Alongside Five Star Financial
This year Jay Malone Motors partnered with Five Star Financial — the John Sanken team as hole-in-one sponsors, and it could not have been a more natural pairing: two local businesses that care about this town, teaming up to back a community event. We had a blast trading stories with John and his crew out on the course, and we are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with others who invest in Hutchinson.

Why Community Matters to Us
When Jay Malone opened this dealership in Hutchinson in 2005, the mission was always about more than moving vehicles. We live here. We raise our families here. We shop the same stores, fill the same bleachers, and drive the same roads as the people we serve every day. Backing events like the Chamber Golf Challenge is simply what being a good neighbor looks like — and it happens to be one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
From sponsoring a golf outing to supporting local groups to just being a dependable presence around town, we are committed to giving back to the community that has given our family so much. Every chance we get to show up for Hutchinson reminds us why we do this.
Thank You, Hutchinson
A huge thank-you to the Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism for putting together another day to remember, to Five Star Financial for being fantastic co-sponsors, and to everyone who came out and made it so much fun. We are already counting down to next year.
From everyone at Jay Malone Motors — thank you for letting us be part of this community. Always better together.
