FDNY Foundation Climb to SUMMIT
Members of Koeppel Nissan joined forces with other courageous climbers for an extraordinary event: the FDNY Foundation Climb to SUMMIT. This remarkable challenge took place at the iconic One Vanderbilt in New York City, where participants faced the daunting task of racing up an impressive 1,100 feet into the sky, all the way to the SUMMIT.
The core purpose of this strenuous climb was to highlight the critical importance of physical fitness for the brave FDNY firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics who serve our city. These first responders are continually ready to act at a moment's notice, facing challenging conditions where their physical preparedness plays an absolutely crucial role in their ability to save lives. The funds meticulously raised during this impactful event are earmarked for a vital cause: the purchase of new stair climbers for FDNY firehouses and EMS stations. These essential tools will significantly aid firefighters and emergency personnel in their daily training and duties, ensuring they can continue to serve the community with the highest level of effectiveness and safety.
By participating in the FDNY Foundation Stair Climb, our employees demonstrated profound support for these everyday heroes and contributed to a truly worthy cause. Their collective efforts will directly impact the safety and overall well-being of FDNY members, empowering them to continue their life-saving work. The climb itself was not merely a physically demanding feat, but also a powerful testament to the spirit of teamwork and community unity, mirroring the collaborative efforts fire response teams exhibit in the line of duty. It was a privilege to stand with our first responders and contribute to their ongoing readiness.
NYC Kids RISE & Koeppel Kares Save for College Scholarship Program
Investing in the future of our youth is a cornerstone of the Koeppel Kares mission, and our partnership with NYC Kids RISE exemplifies this commitment. NYC Kids RISE is an innovative program passionately dedicated to empowering families and communities by providing access to crucial educational resources and opportunities. We are immensely proud to have partnered with NYC Kids RISE to launch a special Community Scholarship for students at P.S.148Q as an integral part of the NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program.
Through this forward-thinking initiative, Koeppel Auto Group, which includes our team at Koeppel Nissan, has pledged and continues to donate a generous $20 for every vehicle sold. The proceeds from these donations directly contribute to college savings accounts established for students at P.S.148Q. This commitment goes far beyond traditional corporate philanthropy. It underscores our deep-seated belief that education is not just a privilege, but a key driver for positive change and sustainable community development.
To date, this program has generated an astounding contribution of more than $253,000, and this number continues to grow. This substantial donation has had a direct and profoundly tangible effect on the educational aspirations of the students at P.S.148Q. It provides them with essential financial resources needed to pursue higher education and ultimately achieve their dreams. The collaboration between Koeppel Auto Group and NYC Kids RISE is a shining example of a shared commitment to investing in the future of young minds.
It aims to foster a community where educational opportunities are not only accessible but also actively supported for all. This Save for College Program truly demonstrates how businesses can leverage their success to make a lasting and transformative impact on the lives of students and their families within our local communities.
Bark & Ride Pet Adoption Events
At Koeppel Auto Group, our hearts extend beyond human beneficiaries to embrace our furry friends, which is why we proudly host our heartwarming Bark & Ride Pet Adoption Events.

We open our doors and our hearts to create a unique and inviting space where individuals and families can joyfully interact with a diverse array of adoptable pets from the Animal Care Center of NYC.

These mobile adoption events are designed to be a comfortable and welcoming environment, encouraging potential adopters to connect with pets outside the traditional shelter setting.
