Supporting local students! - Greta W
This year, as part of Subaru Loves Learning, we had the absolute pleasure of adopting classrooms at Oak Grove School here in Brattleboro . A generous donation totaling $3,000 was distributed to help teachers and students purchase much-needed school supplies! We also had the joy of visiting the classrooms and handing out delicious chocolate chip cookies from Vermont Country Deli to all the students and staff — smiles all around! Getting to bond with the incredible students and staff in our community is always such a pleasure
Supporting the Dummerston School's Accessible walking path - Greta W
At Brattleboro Subaru, we’re proud to support the bright, passionate students in our community. Recently, local sixth-graders at Dummerston School, were inspired by a “On The Road” segment with Steve Hartman that highlighted Minnesota students raising funds for an inclusive playground. Motivated to make a difference of their own, they launched a fundraiser to build an accessible walking path for everyone to enjoy. Through bake sales, hot dog sales, and a school dance, these young changemakers have shown incredible commitment to inclusivity. We're thrilled to support their efforts with a $250 donation. Empowering the next generation to create positive change—that’s what drives us.
Supporting Shrine Children's Hospitals - Greta W
“Strong Legs Run so That Weak Legs May Walk.” This inspiring motto belongs to the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Football Games. Each year, these games are held to support and raise funds for the Shrine Children's Hospital. This year, Brattleboro Subaru was proud to contribute $200 to this incredible event. Over the years, the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl has raised more than $5 million to care for children and families in need, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to support such a meaningful cause.
Brattleboro Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Nate R
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Brattleboro, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Brattleboro Subaru is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like Brattleboro Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/22/2025, Brattleboro Subaru donated 120 coats to Winston Prouty Center for Child and Family Development. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.
Supporting High School Athletics and Activities - Jady L
High school sports and after-school activities play a vital role in shaping our youth. They keep students active, engaged, and focused—providing structure that helps them thrive both on and off the field. Maintaining these programs requires significant funding for equipment, coaching, and resources, and a key contributor to that support is the Brattleboro Union High School Booster Club. Recently, the Booster Club reached out to us for donations for their upcoming golf tournament in June, an event that helps raise crucial funds to keep student-athletes equipped and prepared for success. We’re proud to donate $100 and support this initiative and help ensure these programs continue to provide opportunities for young athletes in our community!
Supporting the Wags to Riches Party and Auction - Jady L
The Windham County Humane Society plays an invaluable role in our community, and we are always proud to support their efforts however we can. At the end of April, they will host their annual Wags to Riches Party & Auction at our local Retreat Farm—a wonderful event that raises funds to help the Humane Society continue their mission. The evening features both silent and live auctions, with incredible prizes up for grabs. To contribute to this important cause, we proudly donated $440 worth of gift certificates, including oil changes, 4-wheel alignments, and interior/exterior details. We’re excited to help make a difference and support the Humane Society in their vital work!
Supporting Our Youth for a Stronger Future - Jady L
Investing in young athletes and helping them strive for success is essential. Recently, the varsity basketball teams at one of our local high schools in Bellows Falls, VT, reached out to us for support in raising funds to purchase new technology equipment. This equipment will record games and store statistics, allowing players and coaches to review footage during practices to refine their skills and focus on areas for improvement. Recognizing the value of this initiative, we proudly contributed $200 toward covering the costs. We believe this resource will be a game-changer for the team, providing insights that will strengthen their performance and help them reach their full potential.
Supporting Young Minds - Jady L
For more than 22 years, High 5, an organization dedicated to leadership development for middle school students, has been making a transformative impact on education. This year, they hosted their 5th annual symposium, a cornerstone event aimed at advancing learning and development. When High 5 reached out to request support for their impactful programming, which serves schools, camps, and organizations across the region, we were honored to contribute. We proudly donated $300 to aid their mission and are deeply grateful for the opportunity to support High 5 and other invaluable organizations in our community.
Providing Hope and Warmth to Our Community - Jady L
For the second consecutive year, Subaru of New England and its participating retailers, including Brattleboro Subaru, collaborated with Operation Warm to support children in our community by providing them with warmth and confidence. This year, Brattleboro Subaru proudly donated 80 winter jackets to the Winston Prouty Center. To distribute these jackets, we organized a special event at the center, where families were invited to bring their children to select their new coats and enjoy refreshments in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The event was made possible thanks to the dedicated efforts of volunteers from our dealership and representatives from Subaru of New England, who worked together to ensure every child found the perfect coat. We are looking forward to next year!
Donation of Non-Perishable Items to Our Community - Jady L
Food insecurity is a serious issue that no one should ever have to face. At Brattleboro Subaru, we are committed to supporting our community in times of need. To help address this challenge, we recently purchased $200 worth of non-perishable food items and donated them to Project Feed, benefiting the Vermont Food Bank. This initiative is just one small way we strive to make a positive impact when our community needs it most.
