MANHASSET, LONG ISLAND, NY — BMW of Manhasset proudly sponsored the Kids
Zone at the 2nd annual Cool Cars for Kids Car Show, helping create a memorable, family-
friendly experience while supporting an important cause.

The event brought together Long Island's automotive enthusiasts, families, and
community supporters for an impressive showcase featuring more than 800 cars, plus food
trucks, kid's games, live music, and much more. Proceeds and awareness generated through
Cool Cars for Kids will support needed research and extraordinary care for children with
genetic conditions at Cohen Children’s Medical Center.

As sponsor of the Kids Zone, BMW of Manhasset helped provide a welcoming space
where children and families could enjoy activities throughout the event. The sponsorship
reflects the dealership’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the Long Island community and
supporting organizations that improve the lives of children and their families. Every child
received a thermal lunch case or string backpack of their choice, special treats, and BMW-
themed coloring pages. As a special treat, the children were able to vote for “Coolest Car” at
the show and present the award plaque to the lucky winner!

“We were honored to support Cool Cars for Kids and the extraordinary research and
care being provided for children with genetic conditions at Cohen Children’s Medical Center,”
said Dina Burns, Vice President of Burns Motor Company. “While this event brings people
together through a shared passion for automobiles, its true impact is measured by the hope
and support it provides to children and their families. We are proud to show our support in that
mission.”

“The tremendous turnout demonstrates just how generous and community-minded Long
Island’s automotive enthusiasts are,” said Peter Turano, General Manager of BMW of
Manhasset. “Our entire team was delighted to be invited by the Cool Cars for Kids crew to
support such an important cause.”

“The Long Island Cool Cars for Kids Car Show is organized by a committee of
healthcare providers, car enthusiasts, and community members. Our goal is not only to raise
funds for Cohen Children’s Medical Genetics and Genomics Division, but also to create an
annual family-friendly summer event that brings the Long Island community together with local
businesses while raising awareness of the challenges faced by individuals and families living with genetic conditions,” stated Kevin Carratu, Chief Operating Officer for Cool Cars for Kids,
Inc. “Sponsors like BMW of Manhasset play an essential role in helping us fulfill this mission,
and we are incredibly grateful for their generous support.”

BMW of Manhasset thanks Cool Cars for Kids, Cohen Children’s Medical Center,
participating vehicle owners, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who attended and
contributed to the success of the event.
