Nucar Cares
At Nucar Nissan of Allentown, we’re deeply rooted in our community. We constantly strive to give back and support local initiatives that make Pennsylvania and New England a better place to live, work, and play. The Nucar Cares program collaborates with a variety of organizations that touch lives and bring positive change across the state. Here are just a few examples of the organizations Nucar Cares works with, reflecting our dedication to community, education, and the spirit of togetherness.
Last Hope K9 Rescue
Last Hope K9 Rescue (LHK9) is a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization dedicated to saving dogs from high-kill shelters. This all-breed rescue focuses on providing a second chance to abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs, regardless of their age, breed, or medical condition. Through a network of committed volunteers, LHK9 ensures that each dog receives necessary medical treatment and foster care before being transported to New England, where they are placed in loving, permanent homes.
LHK9 is entirely volunteer-run, relying on a passionate team to foster dogs, organize adoption events, and educate the community on important issues like spaying, neutering, and responsible pet ownership. Since its founding in 2012, LHK9 has found homes for over 12,000 dogs, transforming lives and offering hope to countless animals in need. The organization’s dedication to every dog’s well-being and its commitment to education make it a vital resource for both the animals it saves and the communities it serves.
Susan G. Komen – 2024 MORE THAN PINK Walk
The Susan G. Komen 2024 Massachusetts MORE THAN PINK Walk is an inspiring event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for breast cancer. Evolving from the Race for the Cure, the MORE THAN PINK Walk brings together thousands of participants each year, uniting breast cancer survivors, those currently undergoing treatment, and their supporters.
The event is designed to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring everyone can participate regardless of age or ability. It’s more than just a walk; it’s a vibrant community gathering where participants can connect, share their stories, and support each other. The walk features various activities, including educational booths about Komen’s programs and initiatives, motivational speeches, and opportunities to meet researchers and advocates.
Participants can explore the event area, which includes Hope Village—a special section for those diagnosed with breast cancer—and the We Remember tent, where attendees can honor loved ones lost to the disease. The day concludes with an uplifting walk through the community, leaving participants feeling motivated and empowered to continue supporting the fight against breast cancer. The ultimate goal is to create a world without breast cancer, and the MORE THAN PINK Walk is a crucial step toward achieving that vision.
