The lifeblood of a community flows through the combined efforts of its residents and organizations that commit to making a positive difference. Here in Long Island City, Queens, that commitment is perhaps best exemplified through the robust community outreach and philanthropic endeavors spearheaded through the Koeppel Kares initiative. This campaign demonstrates a genuine dedication to compassion for our customers, employees, and the broader community we serve. Koeppel Kares aims to set a new standard for dealership-led philanthropy, ensuring a meaningful impact locally and enhancing the lives of those around us. This ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility has even earned recognition, as the initiative was honored with the MediaPost Best Campaign Activation Award for a Dealer Group at the 2024 New York Auto Show, a testament to its cohesive approach in consolidating all philanthropic efforts under a single brand.
While the commitment to excellent customer service and reliable automotive care remains central to our operations, the reach of our efforts extends far beyond the showroom floor. We believe in actively investing in the health, education, and cultural vibrancy of Queens, encompassing everything from pet adoptions and college savings programs to supporting local arts. The foundation of this expansive effort rests on the principle of giving back, ensuring that our success contributes positively to the development of our local area.
Bark & Ride Pet Adoption Events
The compassionate spirit of Koeppel Kares extends a warm welcome to our furry friends through the heartwarming Bark & Ride Pet Adoption Events. Recognizing the importance of animal welfare and the joy pets bring to families, we are proud to partner with the Animal Care Center of NYC (ACC) to host these special mobile pet adoption events.
These gatherings transform our location into a unique and inviting space designed to facilitate the union of deserving animals with loving forever homes. During these mobile adoption events, individuals and families from the community have the invaluable opportunity to interact with a diverse array of adoptable pets brought directly from the Animal Care Center of NYC. The adoptable animals showcased include everything from playful puppies to affectionate cats, all eagerly awaiting companionship and care.
Koeppel Kares commitment to opening our doors for these occasions underscores a collective dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of these animals and the families who welcome them. The Bark & Ride events are celebrations of community spirit and shared compassion, successfully moving many beloved animals into secure and nurturing environments. This initiative highlights how local businesses can leverage their resources and physical space to support vital non-profit organizations like the ACC, directly aiding their mission to ensure every animal finds a safe and happy home. We cherish the opportunity to play a role in this beautiful process of connection and commitment, enriching the lives of pets and people across Queens.
NYC Kids RISE & Koeppel Kares Save for College Scholarship Program
A key focus of the Koeppel Kares initiative is the critical role of education in driving positive change and community development. This commitment is powerfully realized through the partnership with NYC Kids RISE, an innovative program dedicated to empowering communities and families through access to educational resources and opportunities.
We have partnered with NYC Kids RISE to launch a critical Community Scholarship specifically aimed at students at P.S.148Q as part of the NYC Kids Rise Save for College Program. This is not a one-time charitable donation, but an ongoing, structured commitment designed to provide lasting financial support for young pupils. Through the Save for College Program, Koeppel Auto Group has committed to donating $20 for every vehicle sold, with all proceeds directly contributing to the college savings accounts established for the students attending P.S.148Q. This forward-thinking financial mechanism ensures that every purchase made at the dealership has a direct, beneficial impact on the future educational opportunities of local children.
The cumulative effect of this dedicated Koeppel Kares initiative is substantial and transformative. The donation made to date is more than $253,000 and counting. This remarkable financial resource provides a direct and tangible effect on the educational aspirations of the P.S.148Q students. These funds provide them with the financial resources necessary to pursue higher education and realize their dreams.
This collaboration represents a profound investment in the future of young minds. It moves beyond traditional corporate giving, representing a shared commitment to fostering a community where educational opportunities are readily accessible to all children and families. The Save for College Program truly demonstrates how successful businesses can utilize their achievements to create a lasting, positive impact on the lives of students and their families within our local neighborhoods. This dedication to educational equity and future success remains a pillar of the community outreach fostered Koeppel Kares.
Queensboro Dance Festival
Community engagement must also celebrate the rich cultural tapestry that defines Queens, New York. The borough is celebrated for its diversity, and few events capture this vibrant spirit quite like the Queensboro Dance Festival. This festival is a lively celebration of cultural expression and artistic diversity, bringing together dance companies from across Queens.
Koeppel Auto Group is a proud supporter of this culturally enriching initiative, recognizing the tremendous power that dance possesses to foster unity and understanding within the broader community. Our role as a sponsor of the Queensboro Dance Festival directly supports the festival’s core mission to promote cultural awareness through the art of dance. This sponsorship contributes significantly to the organization’s ability to successfully showcase a diverse spectrum of dance styles, unique traditions, and compelling performances.
Crucially, our involvement provides a robust platform for local dance companies, allowing them to share their distinct cultural perspectives with a broader audience throughout the entirety of Queens. The support for the Queensboro Dance Festival is yet another expression of the expansive vision of Koeppel Kares, demonstrating a dedication to supporting not just essential needs like education and welfare, but also the cultural arts that make our community unique and vibrant. We are committed to celebrating and sustaining the artistic vitality that thrives here in Queens
