The owners of Jones Junction car dealership have given $20 million to UMD Upper Chesapeake Health – the largest donation ever made to the Bel Air hospital.
Danny and Gail Jones made the donation to support mental health and primary care at Upper Chesapeake, announced the University of Maryland Medical System.
The hospital’s new bed tower will be named “the Danny and Gail Jones Tower,” and the primary care center will be renamed “the Danny and Gail Jones Primary Care Program at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health.”

The Joneses made the announcement at a large gala at the Baltimore Marriott, which also raised $1 million for Cancer LifeNet.
Danny Jones said in a statement:
You are only here for a short period of time, and you have to do what you can, while you can, to help the community. We do that through our business every day and so do the incredible team members at UM UCH.
