Providing comfort, hope, and confidence to children in urgent need
Subaru and its retailers partner with Operation Warm® to visit local homeless shelters and support agencies to provide children with brand-new necessities like coats, shoes, and socks.
These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, they can also have a significant impact on a child’s mental and emotional well-being.
Through this partnership and other historical Subaru Loves to Help efforts, Subaru and retailers like us will have supported over 1 million children and adults in urgent need nationwide.
At Subaru, we believe what we leave behind is a reflection of who we are. That’s why Subaru and our retailers partner with the Arbor Day Foundation (TM) to provide and distribute 100,000 regionally appropriate trees across the country. We’re proud to establish the largest corporate tree distribution ever. Through this and other Subaru Loves the Earth initiatives, Subaru and our retailers have helped distribute and plant over 1.1 million trees.
Subaru believes we should all have a chance to lead a healthy life. That’s why for over 10 years, Subaru and its retailers like us have partnered with Blood Cancer United® and our local hospital to give warm blankets and encouraging messages of hope, written by our employees and customers, to support our community members living with cancer. Through our combined efforts during this partnership, we have supported over 550,000 cancer patients nationwide. Together, we are proud to be Blood Cancer United’s largest automotive donor.
Subaru and its retailers, like us, are continuing our support of education and high-needs schools in our communities through Subaru Loves Learning(R) by providing teachers across the country with funding to purchase the school supplies and resources they know are needed to help students thrive in the classroom.

That's why for every new vehicle sold or leased during the Subaru Share the Love event, Subaru and its retailers, like us, makes a donation to national charities that our owners care about and to over 2,700 local charities where Subaru owners live and work.
Now, after 17 years, Subaru and our retailers have donated nearly $320 million to charity all to give back and to make the world a better place.

At Blood Cancer United, the month of June is one we look forward to all year, because it means our friends at Subaru are back at it. This year, through Subaru Loves to Care, the team at Albany Subaru brought warm blankets and handwritten messages of hope to patients at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center. In my work with patients and families across Northern California, I get to see what a moment like that means up close. Treatment can be cold and lonely, and a soft blanket with a few kind words from someone nearby reminds a patient that their community is in their corner. We're grateful to Albany Subaru for showing up for blood cancer patients in the East Bay, and we're proud to call them a partner.

On behalf of the Albany High School Mountain Biking Team, I would like to express my deep appreciation for the partnership with Albany Subaru. Each year, the dealership partners with our team to raise money at the Solano Avenue Stroll event. The dealership organizes a fundraiser through various giveaways and a raffle for a $200 fuel card, which draws a large number of attendees and generates a significant amount of support for the team. This year, the partnership was particularly successful, with the team raising a total of $1,500 thanks to Albany Subaru's efforts. The dealership's consistent support for the team is truly admirable and deeply appreciated. Their participation in the Solano Avenue Stroll each year is a fantastic opportunity to show their support for a local school team. The fundraising efforts that they undertake every year, such as the one they did this year, make a real difference to the team and we are extremely grateful for Albany Subaru's continued support. They have been a valuable partner and we look forward to many more successful collaborations in the future.
As the organizer of the Solano Avenue Stroll, I have to say that having Albany Subaru as a part of our event is truly a pleasure. Every year, they bring their entire vehicle lineup for attendees to check out, and they also go above and beyond by organizing a fundraiser for the Albany High School Mountain Biking Team. The raffles and giveaways they host are always a hit with attendees, and it is wonderful to see the community come together to support a local school team. On top of that, the sight of a 2016 Subaru Forester participating in the parade is always a crowd pleaser. I couldn't be happier to have Albany Subaru as a valued participant of our event and I would like to express my gratitude for their commitment to the community.

Kevin Wong was struck with cancer in 2009. Despite his diagnosis, Kevin continued to work as the general manager of a nearby Subaru dealership. Well loved by his customers and staff, he barely missed a day of work. After five years of multiple operations, extensive treatment and slow and painful recoveries, Kevin's cancer unfortunately did not go into remission. When he knew the end was near, Kevin hoped to accomplish one more thing - show his appreciation for the nurses at the Infusion Center at Stanford Cancer Center ITA. These nurses primarily care for Stage 3 and Stage 4 patients through the roughest part of their treatments. A shining light for these patients, forever present through the darkest days, a constant comfort and giver of encouragement. For these nurses, everyday is hard, but they always answer the bell. The Wong Family Foundation at Stanford Health Care was formed, where 100% of the funds benefit the nurses to pursue educational opportunities, wellness seminars and team building exercises. In short, a fund to thank these special nurses for their dedication and care. Albany Subaru has chosen them as our local charity since the beginning of the Hometown Charity program, and have continued to support them with a dollar for dollar match with Subaru of America resulting in a donation of $500 for each new Subaru sold during the annual Share The Love Event. We feel it's a small thank you for these great health care professionals, courtesy of Kevin Wong. Last year, we were able to raise over $120,000 for these nurses that were with Kevin till the very end. Help us help them this year and enjoy your new Subaru!
Did Albany Subaru go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
