We consider ourselves proud members of the Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Bronx communities. Our commitment extends far beyond offering exceptional vehicles and service. It is deeply rooted in our dedication to the well-being and enrichment of our neighbors, a commitment powerfully embodied by our comprehensive Koeppel Kares initiative.

Koeppel Kares Yoga Classes

A shining example of our dedication to community wellness through Koeppel Kares is the offering of free yoga classes directly at Koeppel Mazda. Every Sunday morning, our conveniently located dealership in Jackson Heights transforms into a welcoming space for holistic health and relaxation. These invaluable sessions are hosted and taught by Susan Lacher, an individual recognized as a dedicated advocate for community well-being, actively contributing to initiatives that promote both education and health.

The primary aim of these free yoga classes is to educate participants about the profound and holistic benefits of maintaining a healthy mind and body. This goes beyond mere physical exercise, encompassing mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being. By providing these classes, Koeppel Mazda actively contributes to the health and vitality of our neighbors, making accessible wellness resources that might otherwise be out of reach for some.

This particular initiative truly highlights the genuine commitment and compassion for our community that is a hallmark of the Koeppel Kares campaign. It demonstrates how a business can thoughtfully leverage its resources and physical space to support the personal health journeys of its community members. We are deeply proud to provide a sanctuary for wellness, strengthening the mind-body connection for all who attend.

Queensboro Dance Festival

Our commitment to enriching the lives of our community members extends significantly into the arts, as proudly demonstrated through our sponsorship of the Queensboro Dance Festival. This vibrant celebration stands as a testament to cultural diversity and artistic expression, bringing together an extraordinary array of dance companies from across the borough of Queens, New York.

At Koeppel Auto Group, we wholeheartedly recognize the transformative power of dance to foster understanding, build bridges between diverse communities, and cultivate unity within our local area. As a proud sponsor, Koeppel Auto Group plays a vital role in supporting the festival's ambitious mission to promote cultural awareness through the captivating art of dance.

Our contribution directly enhances the organization's capacity to showcase a diverse array of dance styles, traditions, and performances, reflecting the rich cultural mosaic that characterizes Queens. This platform provides local dance companies with a unique opportunity to share their cultural perspectives with a broader audience throughout the entire borough.

Our sponsorship of the Queensboro Dance Festival underscores a profound belief that a truly thriving community is not solely built upon commerce, but also on the strength of its cultural institutions and the shared artistic expressions of its residents. We are honored to help bring such a spectacular display of talent and culture to our neighbors.

FDNY Foundation Climb to SUMMIT

Our dedication to the welfare and safety of our community is also powerfully demonstrated through our active support for our heroic first responders, exemplified by Koeppel Auto Group Employees' participation in the FDNY Foundation Climb to SUMMIT. This remarkable event took place on Sunday, May 4, 2025, at the iconic One Vanderbilt in New York City, drawing together many climbers, including members of our own team. The challenge involved a race up an impressive 1,100 feet into the sky, all the way to the SUMMIT of One Vanderbilt.

The core purpose of the Climb to SUMMIT is to highlight the critical importance of physical fitness for the brave FDNY firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics who serve our city. These courageous individuals are always ready to respond at a moment's notice, facing challenging and often perilous conditions to protect our lives and property. Their fitness plays a crucial and direct role in their ability to save lives. Funds raised during this event purchase essential stair climbers for FDNY firehouses and EMS stations.

Through their participation, Koeppel Auto Group Employees proudly demonstrated their unwavering support for these heroes, contributing directly to a cause that impacts the safety and well-being of all New Yorkers. This climb was not just a test of physical endurance but a powerful testament to teamwork and community spirit.
