What the New York Lymphoma Walk Is All About
On April 26, 2026, hundreds of walkers gathered at the South Street Seaport’s Pier 16 in Lower Manhattan for the annual New York Lymphoma Walk. Patients, survivors, care partners, families, and friends came together to honor those whose lives have been touched and to raise money for research that could one day eradicate the disease. And right there among them, as a gold sponsor, was Koeppel Auto Group, the parent company of Koeppel Hyundai.
The gold sponsorship reflects a real commitment from a local business that has been part of the New York community for decades. Koeppel Hyundai and the broader Koeppel Auto Group family showed up because supporting the community has always been part of how we do business.
The New York Lymphoma Walk is organized each year to benefit the Lymphoma Research Foundation. The event raises funds for research, increases awareness about lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and supports the more than one million Americans currently living with these diseases.
The walk brings people together from all walks of life. You’ll see survivors walking alongside their families, colleagues forming teams in honor of a coworker, and corporate partners lending their resources to a cause that affects real people in their communities.
As a gold sponsor, Koeppel Auto Group helped make this year’s event possible. That level of sponsorship means direct financial support for the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s mission, which includes funding research, providing educational resources for patients, and running support services like their national helpline and financial assistance programs.
Why This Matters to Us
At Koeppel Hyundai, we’re a car dealership in Long Island City, and we’re also proud members of this community. Our staff are from Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx alongside our customers, our neighbors, and the people who walk through our doors every day. When our community faces challenges, we want to be part of the solution.
That’s the idea behind Koeppel Kares, our community initiative that drives everything we do outside the showroom. Through Koeppel Kares, we support education, health programs, and local nonprofits across the greater New York area. Sponsoring the Lymphoma Walk is one piece of that larger commitment, and it’s a cause that hits close to home for many families in our area.
Lymphoma is one of the most common blood cancers in the United States. Chances are you know someone who has been diagnosed or is living as a survivor right now. The research funded through events like this walk leads to better treatments, improved outcomes, and the hope that lymphoma can be eliminated entirely.
The Koeppel Kares Commitment Goes Beyond One Event
The Lymphoma Walk is just one example of how Koeppel Kares shows up for the community. Our commitment to giving back touches several areas that matter to families in Queens and across New York City.
We support education initiatives and local students, because investing in young people is one of the most impactful things a local business can do. We partner with health organizations, because access to care and medical research funding can change lives. And we back local nonprofits that serve the neighborhoods where our customers and employees live.
Every vehicle purchase at Koeppel Hyundai comes with exclusive benefits, and it also directly supports Queens families, students, and local nonprofits through the Koeppel Kares program. When you buy a car from us, you’re supporting a dealership that puts money and time back into the community.
That commitment is built into how we operate every single day.
A Dealership That Shows Up
There are plenty of dealerships in the New York area. When you choose Koeppel Hyundai, you’re choosing a business that cares deeply about the people around us and the causes that affect their lives.
The 2026 New York Lymphoma Walk at Pier 16 was a powerful reminder that community support matters. The funds raised will go directly toward research, patient support services, and awareness programs that benefit people right here in our city and across the country.
We’re proud to have been part of it as a gold sponsor, and we’re just as proud to continue the work through Koeppel Kares all year long.
