Burke Subaru hosts the Women's Only Network - Francey B
Burke Subaru hosted the Women's Only Network, a large group of ladies in various occupations. They are an energetic group! We provided a gourmet dinner, a special Subaru themed gift to all attendees, and a seminar by our own business manager, Paula Hopkins. Paula did an amazing job with the ladies with her seminar about the significance of women in the automotive industry, and also provided information about being an informed customer. We were so pleased to host this group of dynamic women from all occupations and walks of life. It was also an excellent opportunity for them to network with each other, and welcome some newcomers to the group.

Kanen's Christmas - Lindsey D
For the second year in a row, Middle Township School District staff members helped collect gifts for students in need through Kanen’s Christmas. This organization was created in 2021 as a collaboration between Pam Shute (Supervisor of Elementary Education), Kelly Cox (Elem. #1 Guidance Counselor), and Lauren Keating-Wear in memory of one of Middle Township’s students, Kanen Keating-Wear, who passed away in 2019 from Ewing's Sarcoma. Staff throughout the district helped to provide gifts and wrapping paper for 42 Middle Township families which include over 140 children. The holiday event was expanded this year to provide items for a holiday meal (15 pound turkey, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, vegetables, etc.), additional non-perishable items, and a $70 dollar Walmart gift card for each of our families. We thank Burke Motors for their contributions to making this event a success.

Cars, Trucks & Bikes for Coasties! - Marla B
The Cape May County Coast Guard Community Foundation was honored to be the beneficiary of the 2022 Burke Motor Group’s Car, Truck & Cycle Show for the second year on September 2, 2022. This year we were part of the planning process of the event. We were able to assist in providing amazing community volunteers, USCG assets like a USCG 26-foot Trailerable Aids to Navigation Boat (TANB) and an Air Station Atlantic City fly over. Coast Guard Service Members acted as judges of the many exceptional participants in the show. They did an amazing job choosing the best of each category and then Best in Show. At the close fun filled day we were presented with a check for $10,000. This extremely generous donation, presented to us on behalf of Burke Motor Group in partnership with Sturdy Bank, will allow us to maintain our mission of nurturing the relationship between Coast Guard members and their families and the people of Cape May County. We accomplish this by developing our own programs, supporting the efforts of other organizations, and facilitating active engagement between the Coast Guard and Cape May County. Our programs include the Community Activity Program, the Seamanship Award Program, and the Backpack Brigade Program. We also offer support to other organizations that benefit active-duty service members, their families, and recruits. The Cape May County Community spirit is strong for our service members, local businesses, and members of our community. Burke Motor Group’s commitment to our active-duty military and veterans is a prime example of what it means to be a Proud Cape May County Coast Guard Community Member and we are ever grateful for their support.
Burke Subaru hosts our Burke Promise reception and check presentation - Francey B
Burke Subaru hosted a reception in December 2022, the celebration of the culmination of our year-long efforts to raise funds for local charitable organizations.

Our entire staff got to meet these fine organizations and the interaction between all our guests was inspirational. We were proud to present a check for $23,880. The Burke Promise donations represent the charity of choice that we contribute to on behalf of our customers, every day, all year, with every car sale or lease. The customers make their selection of one of four organizations at the time of their car delivery. It was a joyous occasion as we celebrated the local organizations and welcomed the next four recipients to the Burke Promise endeavor. We look forward to supporting them every day, all year!

The children and their families were treated to dinner and desserts, and each child received a gift from Santa. The holiday bear we selected for this event from the great folks at Subaru Gear had a giveback feature that will benefit future educational endeavors. It was a very quietly festive night for these special kids! We were honored to be their hosts. Santa saw over 50 children that evening.
