For more than 30 years, The Exeter Area New Car Dealers Association has lived its mission to serve children and families in the region through its annual golf tournament, raising funds and assisting nonprofits in ways that have left a lasting positive impact on several New Hampshire communities.
In 2024, the association contributed $206,600 to support a variety of programs benefiting children and young people. These initiatives included suicide prevention efforts, food pantries, playground upgrades at local parks, a YMCA amphitheater, teen after-school programs, youth sports and other projects focused on enriching the lives of young people.
Additionally, the association’s donations have extended to broader community needs, such as providing a passenger van for a local retirement home to offer free transportation and improve residents’ access to area services.
Representing Audi of Stratham, Porsche of Stratham and Honda Stratham, I am privileged to work alongside several business owners and managers who have made it a year-round priority to give back:
- Phil Gregoire, AutoFair Nissan
- Mark Wilkins, BMW of Stratham
- David Yanofsky and Darren Coute, Exeter Subaru
- Larry Foss and Tim Foss, Foss Motors
- Mike Baillargeon, Holloway Automotive
- Chris Lane, McFarland Ford, McFarland Hyundai, McFarland Kia
- Sheree Kaplan-Allen, Mercedes-Benz of Portsmouth
- Doug Miles, formerly of Seacoast Volkswagen
- Dan Enxing and Adam Enxing, Volvo Cars Exeter
Recognizing the alarming rise in traffic fatalities in New Hampshire, The Exeter Area New Car Dealers Association donated $25,000 to the New Hampshire Driver Education Fund. This contribution aims to ensure that new drivers and their families can afford the type of training necessary to save lives and foster safe driving habits from the earliest age. These funds are specifically allocated to families who struggle to cover the full cost of driver education.
Our dealerships have been fortunate to receive tremendous support from our customers, families and local businesses, and we believe in the importance of giving back. Looking ahead to 2025, we are actively planning to make an even greater impact.
