Young Subaru Shows Up for Senior Dogs - Seth S
We were so honored to be chosen for a second year in a row to participate in Subaru Loves Pets! Once again, Young Subaru went above and beyond to plan and execute such a successful event. When we heard Sarah was planning a Pet Portrait Fundraiser, we were ecstatic! If there's one thing animal lovers love almost as much as their pets, it's getting adorable photos of them—and this event was the perfect way to bring people together while supporting our nonprofit. Sarah did an incredible job bringing the entire event to life. Everything was so organized and thoughtfully planned that our team was able to simply show up, step in wherever we were needed, and focus on what we do best: connecting with the community and talking about senior dogs. We had so many wonderful conversations throughout the day and even got to see familiar faces from last year's Subaru Loves Pets event. Seeing people come back year after year makes these events feel even more special! Partnerships like this mean so much to a small, volunteer-run rescue like ours. It's one thing for a business to say they support their community, but it's another to truly show up, put in the work, and use their resources to support organizations like ours. Young Subaru continues to do exactly that. Thank you, Sarah and the entire Young Subaru team, for putting together another incredible event benefiting The Golden Bark Foundation. We are so grateful for your continued partnership and for the way you have welcomed our rescue into your community. We can't wait to see what Sarah comes up with next—she truly has the heart, creativity and commitment to make any event a success!
Portraits with a Purpose - Young S
There was a special kind of energy inside Young Subaru during our Subaru Loves Pets portrait event. Dogs of every size and personality came through the doors, some ready for the camera and others needing a little encouragement. Their families laughed, helped with poses, and proudly watched as each pet had a moment in the spotlight. Instead of charging for the portraits, we asked each participant to make a donation directly to the Golden Bark Foundation. This local nonprofit provides care and support for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, many of whom are too easily overlooked. Every donation went straight to helping Golden Bark continue that work. Families could choose from several portrait backgrounds, giving each session its own personality. Local pet vendors also joined us and generously donated their time, products, and services. Their involvement added so much to the day and showed what can happen when people who love animals come together for a shared purpose. What stood out most was the feeling in the room. There was laughter, patience, plenty of treats, and a lot of love. People were not simply stopping by for a pet photo. They were helping dogs in need while celebrating the pets who already mean so much to their own families. By the end of the event, we had captured far more than portraits. We had captured the joy pets bring into our lives and the generosity of a community willing to help ensure other animals receive the care, comfort, and second chances they deserve. For Young Subaru, that is what Subaru Loves Pets is all about: bringing people together, honoring the animals we love, and turning one joyful day into meaningful support for pets who still need someone in their corner.
When Care Begins Within - Sarah B
At Young Subaru, we often talk about the Subaru Love Promise as a commitment to care for the people in our community. But sometimes, the person who needs that care is one of our own. When our receptionist suffered a stroke, her Young Subaru family wanted to do more than simply wish her well. As she began the difficult work of healing and recovery, our General Manager, Justin, spearheaded a barbecue fundraiser to help with her medical expenses and remind her that she would not have to face the road ahead alone. Employees from across the retailer immediately stepped in to help. Some prepared food, others helped serve, organize, and clean up, and everyone found a way to contribute. Employees purchased plates to support the fundraiser, but many quietly gave far more than the cost of a meal. Every dollar raised went toward helping with the medical expenses associated with her treatment and recovery. The barbecue brought our team together for something much greater than lunch. It became an opportunity to return some of the kindness, warmth, and care our receptionist has shared with employees and customers throughout her time at Young Subaru. Moments like this remind us that the Love Promise is not limited to scheduled events or community partnerships. It is also found in the way we show up for one another when life changes without warning. It is a general manager who turns concern into action, employees who step forward without hesitation, and an entire retailer family surrounding one of its own with love and support. Her recovery will take time, but she will not walk that road alone. The same familiar faces she has welcomed through our doors are now standing beside her, cheering her on and reminding her just how much she means to all of us.
A Back-to-School Night Filled with Appreciation - Young S
This year, Young Subaru was honored to welcome Washington Terrace Elementary as our Subaru Loves Learning partner. When we first introduced the program, the principal and educators were almost beyond words. They had not known that a program like Subaru Loves Learning existed or that a local retailer could support their classrooms in such a meaningful way. The school invited our team to participate in its Back-to-School Night, giving us the opportunity to meet the students, families, and educators we would be supporting. Long before families arrived that evening, the educators were already hard at work preparing their classrooms and getting ready to welcome everyone back for a new school year. We wanted them to begin the year knowing that their dedication was seen and appreciated. Young Subaru provided lunch for everyone working at the school that day, offering the team a chance to pause, enjoy a meal together, and feel celebrated before the evening's activities began. Later, we delivered classroom supply kits to the educators, filled with materials they could use throughout the school year. During Back-to-School Night, our team also set up a table stocked with school supplies and Subaru Loves Learning bags for the students. Watching children choose their supplies and proudly carry their new bags through the school made the evening especially meaningful. What began as an introduction to a new community partnership quickly became something much more. It was an opportunity to support the people who make learning possible, welcome students back with excitement, and show families that their community is standing beside them. At Young Subaru, we believe educators deserve to feel the same encouragement and care they give their students every day. Subaru Loves Learning gives us the opportunity to put that belief into action, one classroom, one educator, and one student at a time.
Blood Cancer United Blanket Delivery - McCall H
On July 15th, Young Subaru partnered with Blood Cancer United (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) and Utah Cancer Specialists - Ogden Regional through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. This partnership includes delivering blankets, patient care kits, and messages of hope to cancer patients. We are so grateful to Young Subaru for continuing to show up for our community, and it was incredible to once again partner with Utah Cancer Specialists - Ogden Regional as the recipient of their generous donation. It was truly a meaningful day.
Subaru Share the Love Story: Every Step Matters - Sarah B
At Young Subaru, we believe the Subaru Share the Love Event is about so much more than selling vehicles. It's about creating opportunities, strengthening our community, and helping our neighbors take the next step toward a healthier, brighter future. Thanks to the generosity of our customers during this year's Subaru Share the Love Event, Young Subaru was honored to present a donation of $15,463 to the GOAL Foundation. Every vehicle purchased during the event helped make this gift possible, making it a true community effort. This donation represents the kindness of every customer who chose to support something bigger than themselves. The GOAL Foundation is an incredible organization that continues to make a lasting impact across Northern Utah. While many people know them for organizing races and community events, their mission reaches far beyond the finish line. They encourage healthy lifestyles through running, biking, outdoor recreation, and wellness initiatives while creating meaningful opportunities for youth, supporting seniors in staying active and connected, and building a stronger, healthier community for everyone. One of the most rewarding parts of our partnership is seeing the impact firsthand through GOAL's shoe programs. There is something incredibly heartwarming about standing alongside GOAL volunteers as children have their feet measured for a brand-new pair of athletic shoes. Watching their excitement as they pick out shoes that fit properly, and then returning to deliver them, is a reminder that something as simple as a new pair of shoes can build confidence, encourage an active lifestyle, and help a child feel valued. The same care extends to seniors throughout our community. By providing properly fitted athletic shoes, GOAL helps older adults remain active, independent, and connected, proving that wellness has no age limit. These moments remind us that the smallest gestures often make the greatest difference. That is what the Subaru Love Promise looks like in action. It is neighbors helping neighbors. It is customers making a difference with every vehicle they purchase. It is partnerships built on a shared commitment to improving lives. We are incredibly grateful for the work the GOAL Foundation does every day and honored to stand beside them as they continue to inspire people of all ages to move more, dream bigger, and achieve goals they never thought possible. Together, we are creating healthier communities, one step, one pair of shoes, and one act of kindness at a time.
Subaru Loves to Care Story: Comfort, Hope, and Perspective - Sarah B
For more than four years, Young Subaru has proudly partnered with Utah Cancer Specialists through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative, helping bring comfort and hope to individuals beginning their cancer journey. This year, our team delivered warm blankets, care kits, and handwritten Notes of Hope to patients receiving treatment. During our visit, the staff shared that these blankets and care kits are often given to patients during their very first appointment, a time that can be filled with fear, uncertainty, and countless emotions. Knowing that these simple gifts are placed into the hands of someone facing one of the hardest days of their life gives them a much deeper meaning. The blankets provide warmth and comfort during treatment, the care kits offer practical support, and the handwritten Notes of Hope remind each patient that they are not alone. Although written by strangers, these heartfelt messages offer encouragement and remind patients that an entire community is standing beside them. One of the physicians shared something that stayed with our team long after we left. He said moments like these have a way of putting everyday annoyances into perspective. It was a simple but powerful reminder that while many of us are focused on the challenges of daily life, these patients are facing battles that require incredible strength and courage. For our team at Young Subaru, that perspective is exactly why the Subaru Love Promise matters. It is about showing compassion in meaningful ways, offering comfort when it is needed most, and reminding people that hope can be found in even the smallest acts of kindness. After more than four years of partnering with Utah Cancer Specialists, we continue to be inspired by the resilience of the patients, the dedication of the healthcare teams, and the opportunity to make even a small difference in someone's journey. Every blanket, every care kit, and every Note of Hope is a reminder that kindness has the power to comfort, encourage, and connect us all.
Subaru Loves to Care: Honoring Those Who Care for Our Community - Young S
Some heroes don't wear capes. They wear scrubs, uniforms, turnout gear, and badges. Every day they answer the call to care for others, often putting the needs of our community before their own. To show our appreciation, Young Subaru hosted a Healthcare and First Responder Appreciation Lunch as part of the Subaru Love Promise. We invited local healthcare professionals, EMTs, firefighters, law enforcement officers, and other first responders to stop by, enjoy lunch from a local food truck, and pick up a small gift bag prepared especially for them. There were no speeches and no expectations. We simply wanted to create a moment where those who spend so much time caring for others could feel cared for themselves. Throughout the event, we had the opportunity to meet incredible people, hear their stories, and personally thank them for the compassion, courage, and dedication they bring to our community every day. Seeing the smiles, conversations, and genuine appreciation reminded us that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a meaningful impact. The Subaru Love Promise is about more than selling vehicles. It's about building stronger communities through gratitude, compassion, and service. This event was our way of saying a heartfelt "thank you" to the people who make our community safer, healthier, and stronger. We are honored to support those who dedicate their lives to helping others, and we look forward to continuing to create Love Promise moments that make a difference, one act of kindness at a time.
Subaru Share the Love Helps Drive Opportunity Through GOAL Foundation - Sarah B
At Young Subaru, we believe that being a part of our community means investing in the people who make it stronger. That belief came to life through the Subaru Share the Love Event. Thanks to the support of our customers, every vehicle purchased or leased during the Share the Love Event helped make a meaningful impact right here in Northern Utah. Together, we were proud to present a donation of $15,462 to the GOAL Foundation. The GOAL Foundation is dedicated to improving lives through movement, connection, and opportunity. Their programs encourage healthy lifestyles through running, biking, and outdoor recreation while also providing support for seniors, empowering youth, and creating opportunities for individuals who may be facing difficult circumstances. This donation represents much more than a financial contribution. It represents hundreds of customers who chose to make a difference simply by purchasing a vehicle. It represents a community that believes in supporting one another and investing in programs that help people thrive. By partnering with organizations like the GOAL Foundation, Young Subaru is able to extend the Subaru Love Promise beyond our showroom and into the communities we serve. Together, we are helping create opportunities for healthier lives, stronger connections, and brighter futures for people of all ages. We are grateful to every customer who participated in Share the Love and helped turn a vehicle purchase into a lasting impact. Because of your support, the journey toward a stronger community continues.
Young Subaru Packs Hope for Local Children - Sarah B
At Young Subaru, the Subaru Love Promise is about showing up for our community in meaningful ways, especially for children who need extra support. Recently, Young Subaru partnered with local volunteers for a powerful day of service focused on helping children facing food insecurity. More than 75 volunteers came together to create an assembly line with one shared purpose: ensuring local children had meals to rely on over the weekend. Together, this incredible team packed 2,000 pantry packs filled with easy-to-prepare meal items for children who depend on school breakfast and lunch programs during the week. For many of these students, weekends can bring uncertainty around where their next meal will come from. These pantry packs help bridge that gap, providing nourishment, comfort, and peace of mind. Once assembled, the pantry packs were distributed through local schools, helping get food directly into the hands of children who need it most. What made this effort especially meaningful was the hands-on involvement from the community. This was not simply a donation, it was neighbors, families, and volunteers giving their time and energy to make a direct impact. Watching dozens of people work side by side, united by compassion and purpose, was a powerful reminder that small acts, multiplied together, create something extraordinary. At Young Subaru, we believe being more than a car company means showing love where it matters most. Through the Subaru Love Promise, we are honored to stand alongside our community to help ensure local children feel cared for, supported, and never forgotten.
