Driving Discovery Together - Lynne G
"Look what I made!" A 7-year-old holds up a carefully cut out and beautifully colored cardboard pegasus. The child designed and cut out the winged horse in the Subaru STEAMShop on a busy Wednesday afternoon at Treehouse Museum. Mom nearby says, "She is so excited to use the cardboard electric saw and do it all herself. We love the STEAMShop!" Nearby a group of boys race the lego cars they built down the Subaru Gravity Track after a good discussion about whether a heaver car or lighter one will go faster. When his car clocks the fastest time, one of the boys jumps for victory while another one asks, "Best two out of three?" Treehouse staff are loading up the Museum's Subaru Ascent to head to a community literacy event where staff will share stories and activities with children and their grownups in front of backdrops that create a mini stage, taking the Treehouse on the road to share a love of learning. Meanwhile in a woodshop in West Weber, Treehouse workers are creating a boulder-ringed fishing pond, and floor to ceiling aspen trees that will go with a custom "tent" and a glowing, but child-safe campfire in the new Young Subaru Campground exhibit. The Campground will be located just outside the Museum's existing Walk in the Woods National Forest gallery and will open in fall of 2026. All of these magical learning moments and thousands and thousands of others for families and schools – were made possible by the partnership Treehouse Museum has with Subaru that impacts more than 130,000 visitors each year. Treehouse is proud and grateful to be a Young Subaru Share the Love Home Town Charity.

GOAL Foundation & Young Subaru - Troy C
Young Subaru's partnership through the Subaru Share the Love® Event has had an incredibly meaningful impact on the GOAL Foundation's ability to serve Northern Utah. Their generosity directly strengthens our operational capacity and ensures we can continue delivering more accessible, high-quality community programming. Because of Young Subaru's support, 129 pairs of athletic shoes have been donated and distributed to youth and individuals in need, removing a basic but critical barrier to participation in physical activity. In addition, dozens of program scholarships have been awarded, allowing young people to attend camps and outdoor programs who otherwise may not have had the opportunity. Further, we hosted almost 60 free health and physically active community events. Beyond the numbers, this partnership provides stability and confidence in our ability to plan, grow, and sustain our programming. Their investment allows us to focus less on barriers and more on impact — expanding access, deepening engagement, and strengthening the health and connection of our community. Young Subarus commitment helps ensure the GOAL Foundation can continue inspiring individuals and families to get out, get active, and live well.
A Piece of Honor, Given Back - Sarah B
From the moment "Tom" walked into Young Subaru, people were drawn to him. Not because he sought attention, but because he gave it so freely. A kind word here. A genuine smile there. He had a quiet way of making everyone feel important. Every team member who spent time with him said the same thing, they loved him. As we got to know "Tom," pieces of his story came into focus. Multiple deployments overseas. A challenging road home. The kind of unseen weight that can follow veterans long after their service ends, quietly affecting stability, opportunity, and daily life. Yet he carried himself with humility, warmth, and a steady strength that never asked for recognition. When "Tom" purchased his Subaru, we wanted him to feel more than supported. We wanted him to feel appreciated. Our team put together a gift box filled with thoughtful items, and inside we included a challenge coin thanking him for his service. When we gave him the gift, he was clearly touched, but he grew quiet. He thanked us, smiled, shook our hands, and headed on his way. A few days later, the phone rang. "Tom" called because he did not want us to misunderstand his reaction. He wanted us to know that his silence was not a lack of appreciation. At that moment, he told us, he was completely speechless. Then he shared something none of us had known. During a period of severe financial hardship, "Tom" had lost nearly everything he owned. Among those losses were his challenge coins, symbols of service, sacrifice, and pride earned over a lifetime. He believed those pieces of his past were gone forever. That is when he spoke about the coin we gave him. That single challenge coin was not just part of a gift box. It was honor returned. It was proof that his service still mattered. That he was still seen. Still respected. Still valued. He told us it meant more to him than he could ever fully express. That phone call stayed with us. The Subaru Love Promise is about empathy in action, but sometimes the true impact of a moment reveals itself later. What felt like a small gesture became something far greater. A reminder that service is never forgotten. That compassion matters. That even after so much is lost, dignity can be restored. We thought we were giving a gift. In reality, we were entrusted with a piece of "Tom's" story, and it is one we will carry with us always.
Youth Futures x Young Subaru - Amber Jo W
Partnerships don’t always begin at a conference table — sometimes they start with a conversation at a coffee shop. That’s how my connection with Young Subaru began: casually, unexpectedly, and with genuine curiosity about how Youth Futures serves youth experiencing homelessness in our community. Soon after that first conversation, I was invited to meet with Sarah and share more about our mission — not in a sales pitch, but in a shared discussion about why young people deserve safety, dignity, and a future they can trust. There was a mutual understanding that real support should be rooted in relationship, not obligation. One of the first major moments in our growing collaboration was the Young Caring for Our Young event hosted at Subaru. My family and I attended as community volunteers, joining countless others to assemble School Pantry Packs so students across Utah could access reliable food support. We packed shoulder-to-shoulder with Subaru team members and families, and it felt powerful to participate not because of a partnership, but as neighbors working toward the same goal. Since that day, Young Subaru’s support has continued in ways that are both meaningful and personal. Clothing was donated to our Savers fundraiser, and vital funds were contributed through a local community breakfast fundraiser. New connections were introduced so we could build a stronger network of community partners. And when we held our annual Ogden UTSleepOut event, Sarah and Young Subaru gifted our most requested raffle item — a Nintendo Switch — helping us raise funds and spark excitement in a way we could not have done alone. What stands out to me is that none of this has been obligatory, transactional, or scripted. It has been genuine. Thoughtful. Rooted in people who truly want to stand beside young people facing hardship. The Subaru Love Promise begins with community — and we are grateful to be building not just a partnership, but a relationship based on action, trust, and shared impact. Together, we’re not just serving youth. We’re reminding them that they matter to their community, and that hope isn’t a concept — it’s something people show you through what they choose to do. Thank you, Young Subaru, for choosing to show up.
Anne's Second Chance at Forever - Seth S
Little Anne’s Second Chance at Forever Because of the partnership and support from Young Subaru, a little senior dog named Anne got her second chance at forever. Little Anne found herself at a Utah shelter — a Shih Tzu mix estimated to be between 10 and 12 years old. The shelter environment can be overwhelming for seniors, and Anne was struggling. She’s completely blind, her back legs are weak, and was clearly searching for a way out and a place to rest her paws. With help from Young Subaru, we were able to bring Anne into The Golden Bark Foundation and give her the care she desperately needed. We drove 45 minutes to pick her up and take her to her foster home, where a loving family waited with patience and open arms. Within days, she began adjusting beautifully — sniffing and listening her way around her new surroundings. She even started running! Her back legs don’t work as well as they used to, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying the wind in her fur and the grass under her paws. Anne received a full veterinary workup including bloodwork, vaccines, and a much-needed dental procedure. While the issues with her back legs can be repaired, we were able to give her comfort and medical stability. She did wonderfully during her dental and is now pain-free, able to enjoy her meals and golden years without the discomfort of dental disease. Today, Little Anne is ready for her retirement home — a home where she’ll be loved for the rest of her life. None of this would have been possible without the kindness of the Young Subaru team. Their contribution covered Anne’s medical expenses, allowing us to say “yes” to her when she needed it most. Senior dog care is often costly, and support like this allows small rescues like ours to keep saving lives. We also want to extend a special thank-you to Sarah, the incredible Young Subaru employee who championed The Golden Bark Foundation to be this year’s Subaru Loves Pets Partner. Through her advocacy and the team’s enthusiasm, we were able to help not only Anne but other senior dogs as well. Young Subaru went above and beyond — hosting a Halloween costume contest that raised additional funds and awareness for our rescue. The event brought our community together to celebrate pets and the people who love the in the cutest way! As a small, foster-based senior dog rescue, we often operate on limited resources, but relationships like this make a lasting difference. They give senior dogs like Anne — who might otherwise be overlooked — a real chance at comfort, love, and belonging.
Young Subaru Coloring Contest –Sparking Creativity in Our Classrooms - Young S
At Young Subaru, we love finding ways to show our local students just how much they matter. This fall, we hosted a coloring contest for the six classrooms we sponsor, focusing on grades 3 through 6. The goal was simple – spark creativity and let the kids know they are appreciated. Our entire sales team had the tough but fun job of casting votes to select one winning drawing from each classroom. The winners were celebrated in style: their artwork was beautifully framed, and each student received an RC Subaru car, presented right in their classroom as a special prize. The excitement in the classrooms was infectious – kids beamed as they saw their art on display and proudly held their new cars. The joy was captured on video, giving us a chance to relive these heartwarming moments. This contest wasn’t just about coloring – it was about connection, creativity, and showing the next generation that we see them, support them, and love being part of their journey.
Young Subaru Delivers Hope and Learning to Burch Creek Elementary - Young S
At Burch Creek Elementary in South Ogden, where 52.5% of students rely on free or reduced lunch and 37% are from minority backgrounds, Young Subaru’s recent classroom kit delivery brought more than supplies—it brought encouragement, support, and hope. As part of Subaru Loves Learning, our team delivered essential classroom kits and funding to the classrooms we sponsor. Educators often spend their own money to provide necessary items for their students, so seeing these contributions made a real difference touched everyone deeply. Some teachers even cried, while others expressed heartfelt thanks for not only supporting their classrooms but also for helping make the community a better place. Team members from every department were proud to go the extra mile, delivering not just materials, but a message: we believe in these students, their teachers, and the power of a caring community. At Young Subaru, supporting education isn’t just an initiative—it’s a promise we live every day.
Utah State Instrument Championships - Douglas A
Since 1975 the vision and mission of the Utah Old Time Fiddlers and Country Music Association ("UOTF") has been -- and still is -- to promote and perpetuate the enjoyment of traditional "Old Time" fiddling and related country music. In recognition of this, a major celebration, dubbed "Fiddlers 50th" is scheduled for October 17-18, 2025 in Fillmore, Utah, the history-rich territorial capitol of Utah. See attached flyer. Also, in partnership with the UOTF and TedFest (a local music festival) the Utah State Instrument Championships ("USIC") contest was held last July in order to encourage people of all ages and all skill levels, from youth to seniors, to sharpen their skills and showcase their musical talents playing traditional acoustic instruments like guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle. (See attached photos from USIC 2025.) These events align closely with the ideals and goals of Young Subaru, encouraging people to work and play together for individual and collective growth, fostering a sense of community and strengthening connections with our heritage. The USIC team is grateful for the financial support shown by a generous member of Young Subaru's management team. Once again, I thank Young Subaru for supporting this year's USIC contest. Sincerely, Doug Anderson Director, USIC 2024 - 2025
Back-to-School with Love: Clothing Students at Lantern House - Young S
At Young Subaru, we believe every child deserves to walk into school feeling confident and prepared. For the past three years, our Service, Parts, and Sales teams have partnered with Lantern House, a local homeless shelter, to help children begin their school year with dignity. Each summer, Stacy, the director of Lantern House, reaches out to us with a simple but important need: school clothes for the children staying at the shelter. Our team answers without hesitation. Employees split into groups, head into local stores, and carefully shop for each child’s clothing. This year, the Young Subaru team provided new school clothes for 20 students. Every shirt, pair of jeans, and every pair of socks was chosen with care, with the goal of helping each child walk into their first day of school feeling ready and proud. For families at Lantern House, this support means relief from the financial stress of back-to-school preparation. For the children, it means starting the school year not defined by their circumstances, but by the same excitement and sense of belonging their classmates feel. Now in its third year, this effort has grown into a tradition for our employees — one that brings us closer as a team and closer to the community we serve. At Young Subaru, the Subaru Love Promise isn’t just a commitment we talk about — it’s something we live out year after year, one child and one outfit at a time.
