Check presentation and volunteer build day will support permanently affordable homeownership for two Haverhill families
HAVERHILL, Mass. (June 2, 2026) – Ira Subaru of Danvers will present a $35,256 donation to Essex County Habitat for Humanity on Wednesday, June 3, at 9 a.m. at the organization’s 41 Curtis Street build site in Haverhill.
Immediately following the check presentation, Ira Subaru and Group 1 Automotive team members will volunteer alongside Essex County Habitat for Humanity to help build the home.
The donation will support Essex County Habitat for Humanity’s 41 Curtis Street project, where the organization is constructing a duplex that will provide permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for two local families. Each home will include three bedrooms and will be built to high energy-efficiency standards.
Representatives expected to attend include Roscoe Robinson, General Manager of Ira Subaru of Danvers; Jeffrey Lubas, General Sales Manager; Alcir Timas, New Car Director; Jon Zillioux, Market Director; and Kate Mason, Regional District Manager for Subaru of New England. Additional Subaru of New England representatives may also attend.
The check presentation and volunteer build will take place:
9 a.m. Wednesday, June 3, 2026 41 Curtis St. Haverhill, MA
“Essex County Habitat for Humanity does extraordinary work helping families build a stronger, more stable future through affordable homeownership,” said Roscoe Robinson, General Manager of Ira Subaru of Danvers. “We are proud to support their mission, not only through this donation but also by joining the work on-site. This is the kind of local impact our team is honored to be part of.”
The Haverhill duplex will provide housing for two future Habitat homeowner families. One family, Andrew and Rafelina and their two children, is looking forward to a safe, healthy home after living in a small mobile home with significant structural challenges. Another future homeowner, Rossana, a single mother of three, has worked for more than 10 years as a senior medical customer service representative and is eager to provide long-term stability for her children.
“We are deeply grateful to Ira Subaru of Danvers and Group 1 Automotive for their continued generosity and partnership,” said Kevin Hudson, Director of Charitable Giving for Essex County Habitat for Humanity. “Being chosen as Ira Subaru of Danvers’ Share the Love charity for the third consecutive year is an incredible honor. Their support goes beyond fundraising. It helps create real opportunities for families in our community to achieve safe, affordable homeownership. We are proud to continue this partnership and thankful to Roscoe and his entire team for their commitment to making a lasting impact across Essex County.”
The contribution reflects Ira Subaru of Danvers’ ongoing commitment to supporting the communities it serves and is part of the broader philanthropic legacy of Group 1 Automotive.

The 10 members of No Static have performed the music of Steely Dan since 2005. Thousands of Dan lovers young and old have experienced the excitement they bring to every performance. Appearing at first-tier venues across New England and beyond, this talented band has earned the admiration and affection of critics and fans alike.
Based in Boston, No Static is&nbsp;one of the top Steely Dan tribute bands in the country. These dedicated musicians specialize in expertly performing the music of Steely Dan, re-creating that amazing bluesy jazz-rock sound invented by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. As Dan fans know, this is no small feat. The music is complex, spanning genres, requiring precise attention to musical detail, with subtle grooves, sophisticated vocal harmonies, iconic solos, and time and key changes popping up when least expected. Steely Dan is not an easy band to pay tribute to.
No Static has been nailing it for over 20 years now and their sold-out shows tell the tale. With passion and warmth they cover the breadth of Steely Dan’s great catalog, attracting some of Boston’s finest musicians, and working with guest performers including Steely Dan band members Walt Weiskopf (saxophonist) and Jon Herington (Music Director/guitarist).

Dueling Pianos is back. Bring your friends and have a ball. Dueling Pianos is a massive "to the top of your lungs" sing along with all your friends! Two grand pianos are center-stage with a team of outrageously talented pianists that seem to know every song ever written.
Each show is different because it's all request. And you or your friends might get called up onstage for a bit of good humored fun and some unforgettable you-tube moments. These shows are request oriented, interactive sing-a-longs wherein two piano players sit across from each other and trade songs. The dueling piano audience is used for the dueling aspect of the show. Audience members are pitted one-side-against-the-other. Examples of rivalries include country vs. rock, men against women, etc.
Dueling piano shows often take unexpected turns, like involving wait staff members, changing song lyrics or roasting popular audience members. There aren't many boundaries. It's one big sing-along party, swaying to the music and bellowing-out familiar lyrics. You're not just being entertained by the piano players - you are part of the show!
"Think YOU won't sing along? Just TRY not too.... I dare ya!"

In honor of the&nbsp;50th anniversary&nbsp;of the release of&nbsp;The Song Remains the Same, internationally acclaimed&nbsp;Lez Zeppelin&nbsp;-- the all-female quartet known for delivering the most powerful and authentic Led Zeppelin experience and the only band personally endorsed by Jimmy Page, himself, announces a special concert series celebrating the iconic 1976 film and its legendary soundtrack.
Accompanied by a multimedia presentation inspired by the original movie,&nbsp;Lez Zeppelin&nbsp;will perform the soundtrack from&nbsp;The Song Remains the Same&nbsp;in its entirety. Harnessing the energy, virtuosity, and grandeur of Led Zeppelin’s storied 1973 performances at Madison Square Garden, this tribute is more than a concert -- it’s a resurrection of rock history, reimagined and re-ignited for a new generation.
Lez Zeppelin-All Girls. All Zeppelin.
Lez Zeppelin is a phenomenon. Since their formation in 2004, the group has stunned audiences all over the world with the musicianship, passion and gender-bending audacity they bring to the music of Led Zeppelin. Unlike&nbsp;&nbsp;the typical “tribute band”&nbsp;Lez&nbsp;Zeppelin does not seek to imitate. Rather, they are a&nbsp;she-incarnation&nbsp;of the original. With swagger, intensity and virtuosity, these four women cover the entire canon, performing hits, deep tracks, epic compositions and acoustic numbers with utmost authenticity, as if they’d written the music themselves. Jimmy Page described it best after attending a Lez Zeppelin show in London:&nbsp;“They played the Led Zeppelin music with an extraordinary sensuality and an energy and passion that highlighted their superb musicianship.”

The Police Academy tribute band is one of the few younger acts in the tribute scene, bringing the energy, style, and sound of Sting and The Police at the height of their career. With authentic wardrobe, strong musicianship, and undeniable enthusiasm, they capture everything from the raw, stripped-down punk edge of The Police’s early records to the polished, synth-driven pop of their later hits.
Bandmates Joshua Jones, Jon McCracken, and Christian Hernandez share the same rock and jazz influence that shaped Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers, giving their performance a standout authenticity. With experience in acclaimed tribute acts including Jumping Jack Flash, Wild Child, and The Fab Four, they bring world-class talent, humor, and showmanship to every show.
From favorites like “Message in a Bottle” and “Every Breath You Take” to deeper cuts like “Murder by Numbers” and “When the World is Running Down,” The Police Academy Tribute delivers an exciting, authentic tribute to one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s.
