Holmgren Subaru Strives To Set Students Up For Success

"John B Stanton Elementary School is a community of diverse students with various backgrounds and needs. A high percentage of our students are English language learners. Many come to our classrooms without materials such as crayons, pencils, whiteboard markers and more. Several of our teachers are brand new to teaching and our classrooms are very sparse. Thanks to Holmgren Subaru, we were able to create a welcoming classroom environment as well as provide our students with the materials needed to be successful this school year. During these difficult times, these supplies have helped to eliminate some financial stress, ensuring that every student has an equal opportunity to learn and achieve excellence. In addition to the supplies that Holmgren Subaru donated at the beginning of the school year, Dawn and Eric Holmgren visited us in March, bringing more, much needed supplies, homemade treats and Starbucks cards for our teachers. Thank you Holmgren Subaru, your commitment to your community is making a difference in the lives of the students and teachers at John B Elementary." - John B Stanton Elementary School Faculty

Support a Greener Earth with Holmgren Subaru

This past year, Holmgren Subaru and our staff participated in two local cleanups, one on Earth Day in Franklin, CT, and another in Groton, CT this past October, to help CT Cleanup/Save the Sound. We provided 'Holmgren Subaru Loves the Earth' t-shirts to all participants, as well as snacks, beverages, Holmgren Subaru Loves the Earth recycled bags, Subaru hand sanitizer and additional Subaru swag.  We had a wonderful turn out and and we even featured in the local newspaper.  We are very fortunate to have a staff that is always willing and enthusiast pitching in!

Caring Drives Our Initiatives!

Beginning in 2021 we were so excited to have the opportunity to hand deliver blankets to Backus Hospital in Norwich, CT. with messages of hope, and a personal card for each patient from all of us at Holmgren Subaru. We were thrilled to receive a call from Melissa at Backus Hospital telling us how much the patients loved receiving these blankets and that they brought them so much comfort and warmth during their treatments. In 2022 we continued this initiative through Subaru Loves To Care delivering more linens and messages of hope to both Backus Hospital's Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Center in Waterford, CT. We were thrilled to continue our partnership with Backus this year, while also having the opportunity to work with and donate to an additional center in Smilow Cancer Center. Thank you to everyone who has made these initiatives possible!   

 

Spend Time With Our Four Legged Friends at The "Make a Dog's Day" Event!

Our staff was truly thrilled to be involved with "Make a Dog's Day! We had lots of Subaru swag and toys for our four legged friends, as well as an obstacle course, games and special treats for all the dogs. We have been working with WOFAR for several years and have hosted many adoption events with them throughout the years. They are very special to our animal loving staff and we have even had a staff member adopt from them. Many of their dogs are true underdogs and need extensive medical care and we cannot thank them and our community enough for their support for these animals!

 

Helping All Walks of Our Community is Our Priority

For the past four years, Holmgren Subaru has been sponsoring a local charity event called Evening of Elegance. Every year, Evening of Elegance supports a different local charity. We were excited that most recently we were able to help support the "Community of Hope" and the "Hope House." Their mission is to help women affected by abuse, addiction and homelessness. They also help those in need with acts of kindness. Through their "Kindness Connection" our donation of  blankets, socks and gift cards during the holidays, were able to assist people in need.

 

We Are Proud to Support Local and National Charities through Subaru Share The Love

We most recently partnered with "Sails Up 4 Cancer" and "Community Speaks Out" to present our Share the Love donations. We are thrilled to partner with and support such great organizations. We cannot thank everyone enough who helped make our most recent Share The Love event successful and impactful!
