Through the dedicated service of approximately 75 volunteer physicians, nurses and allied health professionals, BJVIM provides free medical care to the residents of Bluffton and Jasper County who are uninsured.

“Peacock Subaru’s customers really showed their appreciation for our patient needs with their donations,” said Dennis Toney, development director for BJVIM. “As we celebrate our 10th Year of service to those in need, we are thankful for the dedication of our volunteer physicians and nurses as well as this financial support from the community.

Lowcountry Nonprofit, The Outside Foundation, Named a Finalist for Defender Above & Beyond Service Awards and Eligible to Win a Customized 2022 Land Rover Defender

Standard

Sponsored by Jaguar Land Rover, the National Competition Recognizes Community Nonprofits

(Hilton Head Island, S.C./Savannah, GA) Jaguar Land Rover Hilton Head, a local automotive dealership, announced today their nominee, The Outside Foundation, has been named a Jaguar Land Rover Defender Above & Beyond Service Awards finalist and is eligible to receive one of the seven customized Defender models as their grand prize. The Outside Foundation, a 501(c) nonprofit based in Hilton Head, S.C. and Savannah, Ga., inspires kids to get outside and works to protect the local environment and ecology.

Created to reflect the capabilities of the legendary Land Rover Defender’s seven decades of pushing limits, the award recognizes nonprofits that exceed expectations and go Above & Beyond for their communities every day. The Outside Foundation is one of five nonprofits across the country competing for the “Coastal And Marine Conservation” category award.

Judging for the Above & Beyond Service Awards is based on short films each organization produced to explain their mission and how the grand prize of a Land Rover Defender would impact their work. In The Outside Foundation’s video submission, Executive Director Jean Fruh highlights the 5,000 seventh-graders who’ve participated in the Kids in Kayaks program exploring salt marshes, the collection of 62 tons of oyster shells for recycling in three years, and the removal of two tons of trash at local beaches, parks and waterways. Winning the new Defender would help their efforts a great deal.

“Much of our work involves transporting debris from clean-ups, oyster shells, and all the kayaking equipment. Not only would a Land Rover Defender allow us to transport so much more, but it would also allow us to spend funds we use now for transportation to get more kids in a kayak and on the water,” Fruh explains.

Both Peacock Automotive and The Outside Foundation are encouraging the community to cast a vote once per day at https://www.landroverusa.com/experiences/events-and-sponsorships/defender-service-awards/vote/coastal-and-marine-conservation.html.

The Outside Foundation is a wonderful organization we’re proud to support. Their spirit of adventure and preservation aligns with the Land Rover brand so well, it’s natural they’d be finalists. Now we have to vote for them and bring home the win,” said Warner Peacock, President and CEO of Peacock Automotive, the parent company of Jaguar Land Rover Hilton Head.

A relatively young outfit, The Outdoor Foundation began in 2014, and Peacock Automotive has been a proud supporter from the start.

“At our first ‘Keep the Broad Creek Clean’ festival, Peacock Automotive was there to provide the support needed to make the event a success. The next year they held a fundraiser for us and have been Gold Level sponsors for other events. It’s clear to us they value our mission of connecting the next generation with our local waters. We’re grateful for their support,” Fruh added.

For more information and to vote for “Coastal And Marine Conservation” category award, visit

The deadline to vote is Monday, May 3.

“We are committed to the health and safety of the communities we serve, and this donation of masks will help make a difference,” said Warner Peacock, Chairman and CEO of Peacock Automotive.

Since August, Ford Fund has distributed more than 66 million medical-grade masks to nonprofit organizations, state and local officials, first responders, schools, community groups and Ford dealerships in all 50 states.

Peacock Subaru makes a special month-long pledge in support of Palmetto Animal League’s No-Kill Adoption Center

Peacock Subaru makes a special month-long pledge in support of Palmetto Animal League’s No-Kill Adoption Center 

October was a fantastic month for homeless pets in the Lowcountry. Peacock Subaru Hilton Head’s comprehensive plan to pay it forward throughout October helped rescue dozens of pets in peril and helped dozens more find homes. 

Peacock Subaru supported Palmetto Animal League’s first-ever virtual adoption event on Thursday, Oct. 8, by helping to showcase PAL’s adoptable pets. This adorable event, which included fee-waived adoptions made possible through a generous grant from the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), led to the adoption of 34 pets in the span of just one week! 

“We watched a lot of lovely animals go to great homes thanks, in large part, to our Partner in Rescue Peacock Subaru,” said PAL President Amy Campanini. “Their dedication to introducing PAL’s adoptable pets to the community via video, Facebook Live and their pet-friendly dealership resulted in a beautiful wave of adoptions.” 

As another way to support the PAL Adoption Center, Peacock Subaru pledged to donate $100 to PAL for every pet adopted in October, leading to a generous donation of $3,100 and even more pets finding their forever home. As a private, non-profit rescue organization with no government funding, PAL relies on kindhearted businesses and individuals to fuel their compassionate, no-kill animal rescue programs. 

“Improving animal welfare is something that we continue to support in the Lowcountry and Savannah,” said Peacock Automotive President & CEO Warner Peacock. “Organizations like PAL provide a crucial service in the community and we’re glad to contribute to their efforts.” 

Peacock Subaru and Palmetto Animal League have partnered on many other life-saving adoption events over the years, including their Subiestock concert event each October from 2016 to 2019 and their once-in-a-lifetime Puppy Bowl debut in February of 2019. 

“As a Palmetto Animal League Partner in Rescue, Peacock Subaru embraces our mission to build a community where every neglected animal has a second chance at life,” said Campanini. “We look forward to saving more lives together in the years to come.”

The Boys & Girls Clubs are so grateful for this donation.

During the Yappy Hour Holiday Edition, Peacock Subaru Hilton Head will also be collecting toys for the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation’s program. All toys should be new, unopened and unwrapped. They may be dropped off at Peacock Subaru Hilton Head any time before or during the Yappy Hour event.

The Peacock Automotive family always strives to express our family-first values, and this is especially important during the holidays,” said Warner Peacock, president and CEO of Peacock Automotive. “We partnered with Renegade Paws Rescue and the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation because both of these organizations provide a great service.”

This free event will take place from 5-7 p.m. at the Peacock Subaru Hilton Head, located at 111 Drivers Way near Bluffton. For more information, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/yappy-hour-holiday-edition-tickets-78199283161
