Mercedes- Benz of Smithtown is proud to announce their partnership with the McNamara Charity Golf Group. This fundraiser has been helping benefit veteran charities, veterans and their families for over 12 years. Many have experienced major financial setbacks with Covid in the last two years. This cause hits close to home for the strong veteran himself. Christopher T. McNamara has served in the U.S. Air Force. His family is deeply rooted through generations in the military service. Learning from his own experience as well as his family, McNamara knows how fortunate it is to make it home after being in service. Though this is something to be happy about, many come home with physical life changing injuries as well as invisible traumas that stay with them everyday that can’t be fixed with a cast like a broken arm. Internal Traumas that are life changing. Through this, it is common for many of these men and women to suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brian Injury (TBI). No one will ever know what these brave veterans have seen or experienced during their time in service. After their return many find it hard to come back to normal life or the life they once knew, without having memories or flashbacks of these traumatic times. This is the perfect opportunity to show your support for those that sacrificed so much for our freedom. Veterans have been provided with service dogs rescued from kill shelters. This is a great way to save two lives. The care for these precious pups is covered for life by mobile vans “Paws of War”. Disabled veterans are also provided with Action Trackchairs, which allow them the liberty of enjoying the outdoors and getting a bit of fresh air. Their strength and courage is inspirationally motivating. Throughout the last 10 outings, this organization has raised $600,000 for these indestructible veterans but we don’t plan on stopping there. With your help of spreading the word, we can help so many families and veterans to a better future. The next outing will be held on Monday, September 19, 2022. For more information on this incredible cause, you can visit the McNamara Charity Golf Outing Facebook page where you can access the entire brochure. Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is proud to be donating to such a wonderful cause. If you are interested in any sponsorships through Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, please feel free to contact us! Or come visit us at 630 Middle Country Road, St James, NY, United States.

It is estimated that every year over 30 million dogs are slaughtered for human consumption in Asian countries including China, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia. With those numbers, it seems like a hopeless task for the organizations that are desperately fighting to end the dog meat trade in Asia. No Dogs Left Behind, a non-profit international animal welfare organization, was founded by Jeffrey Beri in 2016 and leads the way in the global war against animal cruelty. Competition Subaru of Smithtown is proud to support No Dogs Left Behind and their mission to end the dog meat market and illegal dog traffickers. Jeffrey and his team have been fighting for the past several years and are committed to ending this horrific industry in Asia. The Fight Against The Inhumane Dog Meat Market Their mission extends beyond borders worldwide, advocating for the creation and enforcement of animal welfare laws, and raising awareness for a cruelty-free, sustainable world in which no animal is violated, exploited, tortured, or slaughtered for commercial goods or profit. Working hands-on with local activists through emergency response, Jeffrey’s team pulls dogs directly from slaughterhouses, dog meat trucks, wet markets, and traffickers. The NDLB team works day in and day out to save as many dogs as they can from being recklessly and inhumanely slaughtered for human consumption. How You Can Help No Dogs Left Behind Adopt A Dog – Take one or two of the broken souls into your home and give them the love they deserve. NDLB is constantly looking for homes for their many shelter dogs. Check out the dogs they have for adoption here. Sponsor A Dog – Sponsoring a dog is the next best thing you can do if you can’t adopt a dog. By sponsoring a dog, you are paying for their monthly food, veterinary care, and routine vaccinations until they can find a permanent home. Another option includes flight sponsorship which will assist in getting the dog to the United States and into a forever home, foster home, or rescue partnership. The cost of a flight sponsorship varies depending upon the weight and size of the dog being transported. Learn how to sponsor a dog here. Foster A Dog – Fosters are always needed throughout the USA and Canada. Fostering one of the survivors allows for more space in their sanctuaries so more dogs can be saved from the illegal dog meat trafficking trade in East Asia. In addition to saving more lives, fostering helps their survivors by giving them the opportunity to adjust to a home environment and decompress from the trauma that they have experienced, thereby making for a more successful, forever adoption. NDLB is specifically looking for fosters right now here on Long Island! For more information on fostering, visit their website here. Volunteer Your Time – Get more involved and offer your talent and energy to help the efforts of NDLB! You can help with fundraising initiatives in your community, graphic design assistance, email alerts, write stories about the survivors, and help with media and community outreach. If you are interested in volunteering, visit their website here. Donate Monthly – Monthly donors are the lifeline for NDLB. Every dollar donated makes a difference in the life of their dogs, and enables them to continue to rescue more. Donations are critical to funding the ongoing expenses associated with the care, rehabilitation, and transport of their survivors. Every little bit helps. To donate, visit their here. No Dogs Left Behind Safe-Havens With nearly 500 survivors in their care, No Dogs Left Behind operates sanctuaries in Dayi and Gongyi, Asia. In these safe havens, these once victimized and exploited dogs receive medical care, nutritional support, and rehabilitation on an ongoing basis. No Dogs Left Behind goes beyond rescue, doing whatever it takes to heal the physical and emotional scars these animals suffer and to find them their forever loving homes. Meet their brave survivors here. Competition Subaru of Smithtown is proud to support No Dogs Left Behind and their mission to end the inhumane dog meat market and illegal dog traffickers. To learn more about this extremely dedicated non-profit organization, visit their website www.nodogslefitbehind.com. Stop by Competition Subaru of Smithtown and explore our new and pre-owned inventory.
