Being a contributing member of the communities we serve, giving back to others, treating otherswith respect, being charitable... those aren't phrases people initially associate withautomobile dealers.
Yet dealers are usually among the oldest businesses in many communities, not only succeeding byproviding valuable services and bolstering the local economy, but also by often being the firstto answer a local need or a call for help.
We at The Village are proud of what we do, what we are, and how we contribute.
Our commitment to charity stems directly from our founder and President Ray Ciccolo. Ray hasachieved much in life, but what truly sets him apart is his heart. Ray has never forgotten hisroots as a poor kid from Cambridge, Massachusetts. His compassion for others and his willingnessto always pitch in is evident in the myriad causes which we support.
Our goal is to support organizations or events that achieve a meaningful, positive and broadimpact within our market area.
We are committed to:

- Being a model of service to our community by participating in the organizations thatfulfill the our mission.

Using Sport for Positive Change
The Anthony Rougier Foundation is a Greater Boston nonprofit using sport as a vehicle for positive change. With roots tracing from Trinidad and Tobago to Boston, the organization provides talented young athletes with resources they might not otherwise be able to access — including elite-level coaching, nutrition guidance, strength and conditioning, speed training, and academic support.
The foundation focuses on soccer players who demonstrate commitment both on and off the field, offering them a realistic pathway to sporting and educational opportunities regardless of socio-economic background. Through holistic programming that blends athletic development with career guidance and self-determination, the Anthony Rougier Foundation helps participants build a future that extends well beyond the game.
Support the mission. Support the player. Support the future.
Proudly Supported by Honda Village.
