Guests enjoyed themselves immensely, sharing great food and drinks, and  the amazing music provided by PS Xperiment. The energy in the room was electric, and it was fantastic to see everyone come together in support of Benny’s Bodega. The smiles, conversations, and overall joy made it a night to remember. ## The Cause: Benny's Bodega and Its Impact Together, we raised an incredible $27,000 for Benny’s Bodega—an organization making a real difference for people who are often overlooked and underserved. Benny’s Bodega operates without any government funding, relying solely on community support, and at DeBoer’s Auto, we're proud to help keep it that way. Benny's Bodega’s mission to provide essential goods and services to those in need is a testament to the power of community and generosity. Their tireless dedication ensures that no one is left behind. ## Community Heroes: Acknowledging Our Supporters We want to give a massive THANK YOU to the Davey family and the entire Bodega crew for their tireless dedication, fundraising, and the compassion they show every single day. Their efforts are truly inspiring. A special thanks also goes out to O’Reilly’s Newton for generously hosting our event and helping make it such a success. We couldn't have done it without your support. And to our dedicated valet team, thank you for ensuring every guest was taken care of from arrival to departure. ## Grand Prize Moment: Celebrating Our Winner Congrats to our grand prize winner, Luanne D! Your excitement and joy were contagious, and it was a pleasure to celebrate with you. This moment was one of many highlights of the evening, reminding us all of the joy that comes from community and generosity. ## Looking Forward: Future Community Initiatives Stay tuned for some awesome photos from the event, thanks to Quarter Mile Photography (@quarter_mile_photography). These memories will remind us of the great people coming together, making an impact, and having fun while doing it. Until next year, let’s keep the good vibes rolling and continue to support Benny’s Bodega and other community initiatives. Here's to more laughter, connection, and generosity in the future! - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) #### Written by [Bill DeBoer Jr](https://www.deboersauto.com/blog/author/bill-deboer-jr) ###### [** Previous Post](https://www.deboersauto.com/blog/mediterranean-egg-white-pita-delight) [![egg white spinach & tomato stuffed pita](https://www.deboersauto.com/hubfs/pita%20egg%20white%20spinace%20.png) ](https://www.deboersauto.com/blog/mediterranean-egg-white-pita-delight) ###### [Egg White Pita Delight](https://www.deboersauto.com/blog/mediterranean-egg-white-pita-delight) ###### [Next Post **](https://www.deboersauto.com/blog/your-tires-called-theyre-not-the-problem) [![cartoon of tire talking into old fashion style phone](https://www.deboersauto.com/hubfs/Tire%20Talking%20%282%29.png) ](https://www.deboersauto.com/blog/your-tires-called-theyre-not-the-problem) ###### [Your Tires Called—They’re Not the Problem](https://www.deboersauto.com/blog/your-tires-called-theyre-not-the-problem) ##### DeBoer's Blog DeBoer's Blog ###### [The Impact of Oil Viscosity on Your Vehicle in Cold Weather](https://www.deboersauto.com/blog/the-impact-of-oil-viscosity-on-your-vehicle-in-cold-weather) As winter approaches, it's crucial to consider the effects of oil viscosity on your vehicle's... ##### DeBoer's Auto DeBoer's Auto [(973) 529-8360](tel:(973)%20786-3030) 83 State Route 23 Hamburg, NJ 07419 Mon - Fri: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM [![AAA Approved Repairs KO](https://www.deboersauto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AAA_ApprovedRepairs_KO.png?width=107&name=AAA_ApprovedRepairs_KO.png)](https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/)      [![KO ASE Approved](https://www.deboersauto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Edited_KO_ASEApproved.png?width=83&name=Edited_KO_ASEApproved.png)](https://www.ase.com/Home.aspx)   [![DeBoer's Auto](https://www.deboersauto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KO_DeBoers_Insignia_LOGO_Final_01.png?width=175&height=124&name=KO_DeBoers_Insignia_LOGO_Final_01.png "DeBoer's Auto")](https://www.deboersauto.com) Copyright © 2025 DeBoer's Auto [**](https://www.facebook.com/deboersauto)[**](https://twitter.com/YourCarGuy)[**](https://www.instagram.com/deboersauto/)[**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/deboers-auto)[**](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeeHo1Te1vrjdlGCOA0UyMA) **
