Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Light the Night
The fight against blood cancer is a cause close to the heart of the Koeppel Mazda community, and we are proud to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) Light the Night event. This powerful gathering unites supporters, survivors, and those currently battling the disease, raising essential awareness and critical funds. The funds raised are directed toward blood cancer research, patient support, and advocacy.
Our active involvement in this crucial initiative includes taking on the significant role of the mission chariot. This means that we provide resources and support to ensure the seamless organization and execution of the event. The LLS Light the Night Queens event is held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Queens. Our sponsorship is a clear declaration of our dedication to making a palpable difference in the battle against leukemia and lymphoma, illnesses that deeply affect countless individuals and their families. Through this participation, we stand in solidarity with those impacted. Koeppel Mazda views this involvement as a vital way to contribute to scientific advancement and emotional support for the blood cancer community.
Toy Drive in support of St. Mary's Children Hospital
Spreading joy during the holiday season, particularly for children facing serious medical challenges, is a heartwarming tradition fostered through our annual community outreach. St. Mary's Children's Hospital functions as a beacon of hope and healing for young patients confronting complex medical conditions.
In the spirit of goodwill, the Koeppel Auto Group has established an annual Toy Drive. This uplifting tradition is executed in collaboration with the East Coast Car Association for a special Toy Run. Each year, we encourage our employees, our loyal customers, and the entire surrounding community to contribute to the drive. We collect a diverse and wonderful array of toys. These gifts are specifically intended to bring smiles to the faces of the young patients spending time at St. Mary's Children's Hospital.
The collective generosity reflected Koeppel Kares through this Toy Drive truly demonstrates a dedication to brightening the holiday season. These efforts are especially important for children who may find themselves undergoing medical treatment during what should be a joyful time of year. Providing a quality toy can offer comfort and a much-needed moment of lightness during a difficult medical journey.
Cristian Rivera Foundation
One of the most profound areas where Koeppel Kares makes an impact is through medical research support, exemplified Koeppel Mazda's partnership with the Cristian Rivera Foundation. This non-profit organization is dedicated to discovering a cure for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). DIPG is a devastating and tragically fatal brain tumor.
The foundation was inspired by young Cristian Rivera, a bright and joyful boy who was diagnosed with inoperable DIPG in 2007. Despite receiving care at highly respected medical institutions, including Weill Cornell Medical Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering, Cristian’s struggle was heart-wrenching. His enduring legacy is honored through the continuous and tireless efforts of the foundation. Their core mission is threefold: Research for a Cure, increasing Awareness, and providing critical Family Support. The goal is to ensure that other families do not have to endure the same grief.
We are incredibly proud to serve as a sponsor of the Cristian Rivera Foundation. Mark and Susan Lacher, representing the Koeppel Auto Group, have generously contributed to this crucial cause. This commitment plays a significant role in advancing research into DIPG, elevating public awareness about the disease, and providing essential aid to families affected by this devastating childhood cancer. Together with the foundation, we are actively involved in making a real difference in the fight against DIPG.
A Tradition of Community Support
Our commitment to health, education, and community welfare runs deep. From supporting cancer research and spreading holiday cheer through toy drives to investing in the fight against rare childhood cancers, the Koeppel Kares initiative consistently prioritizes the well-being of our neighbors. We continue to dedicate ourselves to enhancing the lives of those we serve, ensuring that our success contributes positively to the vitality of the local New York community.
