Wheels Make Wishes Come True - 2021 Corvettes on the Columbia for local kids!

Check out the total amount raised for Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington! We teamed up with 3 Rivers Corvette Club again as we approached the $1million mark for local kids. In the 10th year of this beautiful partnership with Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington, the community came out in a big way to support life-changing wishes for children going through so much. During Wheels Make Wishes Come True, August 1st - September 11th, a portion of every vehicle sale goes towards the final donation. As  Wheels Make Wishes Come True concludes, the biggest Corvette event in the area, Corvettes on the Columbia, took the main stage to make a massive impact for local kids. The result was over $184,000 donated to our friends at Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington.

2022 Subaru Loves Learning Impact Report

Thank you to our customers, community, and staff who supported Ruth Livingston Elementary during the Subaru Loves Learning Event. Here is a snapshot of the impact of the event. We also want to thank the amazing teaching staff who invest so much into the youth in our community every day. The team at Ruth Livingston Elementary School shared some photos and notes with us.

"What a fantastic surprise to begin the year! Thank you so much for your generosity, and for making a difference in the lives of my students. I teach math and science to two classes of fifth-grade students, and am thinking of ways to purchase materials that will allow more students to get physically involved with their learning. I am also looking at ways to involve students who might have health concerns during this time by providing smaller group supports that can be accomplished in many different settings. I can't wait to get started finding materials to make these things happen!"

"McCurley Subaru is a major sponsor of our "Night of Champions" Spring Fundraiser since 2018. By helping to underwrite the cost of the event we are able to maximize supporter dollars and put on a top-notch event allowing us to highlight the ministry and raise funds to support on-campus efforts and send local kids to summer camp.This year's event went from in-person to virtual in a matter of days, McCurley's commitment to remain a sponsor was critical to the success of the event."

"During the event, we heard from student-athletes at Richland, Kamiakin, and Chiawana on how they have grown their faith and student leadership thru FCA and in turn are leading students around them. We were also able to have fromer UW and NFL quarterback Brock Huard join us via Zoom, to recount the importance of faith, fellowship and accountability in his own life. Students these days are more disconnected and isolated than ever, FCA provides a place for authentic relationship and growth in their faith paired with the sports they are passionate about. Local group participation has grown from 9 schools in 2016 to 19 in 2019! Weekly participation (pre-COVID) was estimated at close to 800 students! This means students are finding a place to belong and grow at a crucial time in their lives. This coming year will have distance-learning challenges, but through the strength of relationships, we are excited to meet those challenges along with our community partners.

"Although we only get the opportunity to work with our local Subaru dealership, McCurley Subaru, we are convinced that they must assuredly be the best dealership, with the best staff, in the country! As we prepared for the 2019 Share the Love Event, we wanted to help McCurley Subaru staff really connect to our mission and our service. Each year, the sales staff graciously helps deliver warm, nutritious meals to home bound seniors, and this year we were hoping to offer them a fun event that would really encourage them to engage with our seniors. We set up mock meal deliveries in the parking lot of McCurley Subaru. McCurley staff were prepped with information about what we accomplish: providing vital meal delivery service to a vulnerable population of local seniors. They were then provided with mock instructions for prepping the meal trays, delivery instructions, and details about what each client should receive. Our Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels staff then stationed themselves throughout the dealership parking lot and acted as clients in need of meal service. McCurley staff pushed meal carts throughout the parking lot on the coldest and foggiest day of the month as they learned some of the challenges of serving seniors. We encouraged McCurley staff to engage with the meal recipients to get to know them a bit and to understand that although the meal itself is important, the connection to the "outside world" is vital to the continued independence of the seniors."

"We had a great time getting to know our McCurley Subaru sales staff better (although many of them have been participating in the Subaru Share the Love Event for many years) and seeing the friendly competition take place. We believe that everyone was a winner at this fun kickoff event. Thank you again to McCurley  Subaru and Subaru of America for your sponsorship of the Share the Love Event!"
