How This Loud Truck Helps Those With Sensory Sensitivity

This colorful vehicle is a Pickman Passenger vehicle with an extraordinary wrap. The wrap was designed by world-renowned artist J. Pierce and commemorates the critical work that KultureCity does all over the USA.

As an American contemporary modern artist- J.Pierce stands for everything outside the box. He has found a passion in fine arts, product design, and custom urban murals to touch people and their emotions. His use of colors and patterns is unique and attractive to both the young and the young at heart.

J.Pierce is inspired by legendary artists: Warhol, Seuss, Haring, and Picasso. While J.Pierce started with street murals, his work has expanded to shoes, beers, and vehicle wraps.

While J.Pierce’s colors and design are loud and in your face, his involvement with KultureCity hopes to help those looking for the exact opposite.

Sensory sensitivities or challenges with sensory regulation are often experienced by individuals with Autism, dementia, PTSD, and other similar conditions. One of the major barriers for these individuals is sensitivity to overstimulation and noise. KultureCity’s mission is to assist individuals and families affected by sensory sensitivity.

At this year’s Kulture Ball, an event hosted by KultureCity, this wrapped Pickman Passenger was auctioned off to raise money for KultureCity. We were ecstatic when we won the auction.

Chris and Pete Donohoo, the owners of Donohoo Auto, have been long-time supporters of KultureCity. Their mission to help families with sensory sensitivity hits close to home.

Jeff, the Donohoo’s older brother, was born with Autism. They have seen firsthand the effects of sensory overload and know how important it is to create a culture of understanding and acceptance in our local community. We joined KultureCity early on to become one of the first dealerships in the nation to go through their Sensory Inclusive Certification training. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for all families to shop for vehicles without the worry of prejudice or judgment.

With our certification, Donohoo Auto is better prepared to assist guests with sensory sensitivities in having the most comfortable and accommodating experience possible when shopping at Donohoo Auto.

Please visit us if you are a person or family looking for a safe shopping experience. We have sensory bags available and noise-canceling headphones on request.

If you want to see this colorful vehicle, it sits directly in our showroom. The Pickman company is a new player in the small electric vehicle segment. Think of them as a viable alternative to a golf cart. Their vehicles have around 50 miles of range and a top speed of 25 mph. They are street legal depending on your state and offer a surprising number of amenities compared to their golf cart competition. They can even tow up to 2 tons of whatever you need towed. Visit our showroom or visit their website to learn more.
