At Circle BMW, community is at the heart of everything we do.

Since 1980, Circle BMW has been proud to support the communities where we live, work, and serve. As a longstanding member of the local business community, we have partnered with and contributed to numerous nonprofit organizations that make a meaningful difference for individuals and families throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

Our employees regularly come together to champion causes that matter most to our community. Over the years, we have worked alongside more than 40 local, regional, and national organizations, supporting initiatives focused on autism and breast cancer awareness, first responders, military and veterans, food insecurity, local history, education and youth programs, as well as many other important causes.

Over the last 20 years alone, Circle BMW has donated more than $2 million to local charitable organizations. For us, community involvement is not simply a responsibility. It is a tradition, a value, and a way of life.

The organizations listed below represent a selection of the many community partners and charitable causes that Circle BMW has proudly supported over the years.


Tunnel to Towers

Supporting first responders has long been a cause that is close to Mr. DeFelice (founder and president of Circle BMW). As our area was deeply affected by the events of 9/11, Tunnel to Towers (T2T) is an especially meaningful organization to support. T2T gives back to families of those who have perished or been wounded in the line of duty. Circle BMW is proud to help T2T provide mortgage free homes, housing assistance and supportive services for homeless veterans. 


Autism MVP

The Autism MVP Foundation enhances the lives of those affected with autism spectrum disorder by helping to develop more autism-focused educators and therapists. Circle BMW believes in the Foundation's mission to provide scholarships to individuals who want to dedicate their careers to Special Education, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis and other areas that will improve social and daily life skills for individuals on the autism spectrum. 

Monmouth County Historical Association

Circle BMW is proud to partner with the Monmouth County Historical Association (MCHA) in its mission to preserve and celebrate the rich history of our region. Through its ongoing efforts, MCHA helps ensure that the stories, traditions, and diverse heritage of Monmouth County are shared with and appreciated by future generations.

MCHA fosters an understanding of local and national history through educational programs, publications, special exhibitions, and research services. The Association also preserves and interprets five significant historic sites, safeguarding important examples of Monmouth County's architectural legacy and providing valuable connections to the past for residents and visitors alike.

Lunch Break

Lunch Break freely provides food, clothing, life skills, and fellowship to those in need in Monmouth County and beyond. Striving to break the cycle of poverty for those they serve and guide community members in need to self-sufficiency and healthier, more productive lifestyles, Lunchbreak serves everyone with compassion and dignity.

Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund

As an act of love and to honor his life and memory, Lt. Zilinski's family and friends founded the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund, whose mission is to continue to serve and assist returning men and women who were wounded in service to our nation and to provide the support that improves the welfare of members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. The fund also supports scholarships at CBA. Marion Zilinski, the mother of Lt. Zilinski, co-founder and board member of Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund, said, "Circle BMW has been a long-time supporter and contributor to our mission, and we are extremely grateful for their friendship and charitable donations."
