Firefighters for Clean Water Fishing Tournament - Brad E.
The Indian River Firefighters Benevolent Association is a non-profit 501 [c] 3 charity organization established in 2012 with the objective to support the health, safety and welfare of Indian River Firefighting Community. The benevolent provides financial, physical and emotional assistance to over 300 members and their families in times of need. In collaboration with Captains For Clean Water, we have put together an amazing offshore fishing tournament hosted by Sebastian Saltwater Marina and Restaurant. The Indian River Lagoon is considered one of the most diverse estuaries in North America. Roughly 156 miles of mangrove covered shorelines comprised of three main bodies of water: The Banana River, The Indian River and The Mosquito Lagoon. The lagoon has been called “the cradle of the ocean, “ acting as a refuge for countless species of fish, birds and plants. Home to dolphins, manatees and turtles. It serves as a spawning and nursery ground for many of fish species found just offshore Florida’s coast. The lagoon is a key driver to the wealth and health of Florida’s economy generating $7.7 billion annually by providing jobs, housing, tourism, industry and recreation. Unfortunately, the lagoon like most of Florida’s estuaries are in a real crisis. Marine life and sea grass have been decimated by a chain reaction started from fertilizer run-off and waste water redistribution. Now, most of our estuaries have been seeing a massive die-off of fish, sea turtles, manatees and dolphins. The “Firefighters for Clean Water” campaign that your local firefighter/paramedics launched 4 years ago has started to make an impact in helping our beloved lagoon and waterways. We knew that we had to get like minded people and businesses to team up with us to help protect this important and vital ecosystem which is why we reached out to Dyer Subaru. Subaru is committed to protecting our lagoon and waterways through its dedication to environmental stewardship and community partnerships. By supporting local conservation efforts and sponsoring clean water initiatives like our tournament. Subaru is focused on helping preserve vital ecosystems for future generations. Their support reflects a broader mission to care for the Earth while encouraging others to do the same, because a cleaner, healthier lagoon means a stronger, more sustainable community for everyone. Thank you SUBARU!!!

Making Waves on the World Stage - Brandon T.
History is being made on the Treasure Coast of Florida. For the first time ever, a 3 year old local board riders club has been invited to compete in the world club championships against some of the best clubs in the world. Seeing this movement take hold, in 2021, local surfers Brandon Taylor and Brian Dapelo felt that the Treasure Coast with all its surfing history and talent needed representation amongst other clubs in the state. Together they started the 501c3 non-profit Treasure Coast Board Riders Club with a mission to share the love and “stoke” of surfing up and down the Treasure Coast. While they primarily focus on sharing the joy of surfing with the local community by providing scholarship funds, surf lessons, hosting fun competitions, caring for the ocean through beach cleanups, teaching ocean safety, hosting member get-togethers and video nights, they also compete in statewide competitions against other board riders clubs. This year, In partnership with Dyer Subaru & The Share The Love Promise Program the Treasure Coast Board Riders successfully started our new development, after school program. The club helps new & improving surfers take their surfing to the next level by teaching: Ocean Awareness, Surfing Fundamentals, Surfboard Education, Wave Riding Technique and hosting a yearly CPR Certification Course. Additionally, they have already qualified and competed in the Florida State Club Championships in Jacksonville Beach in 2024, only 3 years after their founding. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, later this year, they achieved their most impressive accomplishment to date. For the first time in history, the Treasure Coast Board Riders Club has been officially invited to Coolangatta, Australia to compete in the Usher Cup club championships against 48 other clubs from around the world at the infamous Snapper Rocks surf break. With a solid group of surfers from age 14 to 41, they are ready to make history representing the Treasure Coast on the world stage. The team is composed of 18 year old local pro Gabe Griffin of Fort Pierce, 14 year old pro Marlynn Glaub of Jupiter, 41 year old club founder & Vice President Brian Dapelo of Vero Beach, and 41 year old former pro and club coach Michel Flores of Fort Pierce. With these amazing experiences we have gained, nothing would be reality without the help of of Dyer Subaru & the Share The Love Promise Program. We continue our mission and whether you’re a pro, beginner, or you’re looking to hang with like-minded members of the surf community, we would welcome the opportunity to meet you!
Did Dyer Subaru go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
