New York, NY - Bay Ridge Hyundai hosted their 1 year anniversary celebration on Thursday, October 26th.

"Officer Familia was a 12-year veteran of the New York Police Department who proudly and bravely protected this city, and her sacrifice will always be remembered. This city owes a debt of gratitude to her, her family and her brothers and sisters of the NYPD who protect and serve our neighborhoods." said Assembly Member, Pamela Harris. “I want to thank Bay Ridge Hyundai for remembering her service by graciously giving a car to her daughter Genesis. My deepest prayers and condolences continue to go out to the Familia family,” said Senator Martin J.
