Environment

Subaru and our retailers are committed to protecting and preserving the Earth, not just by our words, but also by our actions.

Since 2018, as part of the Subaru Loves the Earth initiative, Subaru and retailers across the country have partnered with TerraCycle® and have collected over 7 million pieces of hard-to-recycle trash from their communities. Items such as snack bag wrappers, coffee cups, or used cabin air filters from service areas have been diverted from landfills and given a second life by TerraCycle when it is converted into durable furniture and other usable items.

Environment

Education

It's our goal to make the pursuit of knowledge available to as many minds as possible.

Since 2015 Subaru, in partnership with the American Association for the Advancement Science, donated over 369,000 award-winning science books. In addition, through our partnerships with Staples and Adoptaclassroom.org we supported teachers and students with donations of $400,000 in gift cards and school supplies.

Education

Community

In a perfect world, hunger would be history and hope would be commonplace. We believe a perfect world is possible.

In 2020, Subaru and its retailers made a donation to Feeding America to provide 50 million meals to help feed people in need during the COVID-19 crisis,* making meals available at 199 local food banks across the country.

*$1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.

We should all have a chance to lead a healthy life. We’re aiming to give as many people that chance as we can.

Love Promise Stories from CMA's Valley Subaru

Subaru and CMA's Valley Subaru believe in making a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work. We uphold that belief through our Love Promise Community Commitment. Every month, we select inspiring stories from customers and partners from around our area who strive to support our collective commitment and feature them here.

Messages of Hope

The staff at CMA's Valley Subaru hand wrote messages of hope for the UVA Hope Cancer Center Augusta. They were also able to deliver blankets, and arts and craft kits through a partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS) and the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative. Everyone was delighted with the donations, and this was able to brighten the days of those seeking treatments at our local facility.

Waynesboro Quarterback Club

The Waynesboro Quarterback Club cheer program has been in desperate need of purchasing new cheer uniforms for our athletes. The last time uniforms had been purchased was prior to 2017. We have worked hard at fundraising by doing bake sales, selling merchandise and athletic events, but it’s the support we receive from area businesses that really help us the most. We would like to thank CMA Subaru for their donation and for helping our program purchase new cheer uniforms for the upcoming 2023 youth football/cheer season. The uniforms have been purchased and the girls love them!

Going Above and Beyond Yet Again

CMA Valley Subaru is synonymous with community support and dedication. The Shenandoah valley is a tight community and when a business is good for the community, everyone knows. Valley Alliance for Education is a non profit organization that awards classroom grants to public educators in Staunton city, Waynesboro city and Augusta county. This year we were able to fund every grant recommended for funding; we awarded more than $30,000 in classroom grants and that's in large part due to the support of businesses like CMA Valley Subaru. We held our second annual golf tournament. We decided to offer a hole in one win a car and without a doubt knew which dealer we'd love to work with. Without hesitation CMA Valley Subaru said yes right away. We had a full field of golfers and brought in more money than last year. That was in large part due to CMA Valley Subaru's involvement. Thank you CMA Valley Subaru for always being willing to give to the community. You truly are such an asset. Liz Fravel VAE President Golf Chair

Riverheads Diamond Club Sponsor

I am the Head Coach for one of the Riverheads Diamond Club Baseball and Softball League. This league was just founded this year in the local area. With that being said we were building from the ground up to create an organization for youth to come and grow as a person, teammate and athlete. When I reached out to CMA's Valley Subaru they quickly responded happy to sponsor our team. Sponsoring our team meant we could get actual uniforms for all our players, game balls, and equipment for all of our games and practices. To some it may be just be tee ball but to these kids its so much more. When they show up to games all dressed in their uniforms the smile with pride, every hit, catch and base ran fills them with excitement and love for the sport. With out the support of Community, and great business's like CMA's Valley Subaru supporting us we would not be able to provide these opportunities for the children. Thank you so much Valley Subaru for sponsoring our team!

Adopt a Shelter Dog

Through our partnership with CMA Valley Subaru, we hosted an adoption event on October 22, 2022 at our shelter. We received this update from a very lucky pup's new adopter. Hello!

He loves visiting my nephews in Charlottesville, he loves his bed, and he also taken a love for all the other furniture in the house :o) When we're outside, he loves to take walks, and he loves playing with my next door neighbors' two dogs. All the best, Oshie & Joe

McSwain Elementary Loves Subaru!

Like many careers, jobs and businesses, the last couple of years have been exceptionally challenging for teachers. Not only has the pandemic changed our ways of thinking and living, many children have lasting consequences from the isolation and limited learning opportunities while at home. I hear many stories about teachers being heroes and the public recognizing the tremendous job teachers do each and every day. While I don’t want to discount those positive stories, the Subaru Loves Learning efforts go way above and beyond celebrating and appreciating teachers across the country! Our local Subaru dealership, CMA Valley Subaru, and the general manager, Mr. Charles Camp, nominated 10 of our outstanding teachers for Subaru Loves Learning donations to the classrooms. What a heartwarming celebration as Mr. Camp and staff from CMA Valley Subaru visited our school! Not only did Mr. Camp celebrate and thank teachers but his efforts to celebrate students was above and beyond. Every student received a notebook and pen with the Subaru logo! They were thrilled! In a world of many conflicts and negative stories in the news, events like “Subaru Loves Learning” are what truly matters. Nominated teachers purchased books for classroom libraries, flexible seating and instructional games that will have a positive impact on student learning. Thank you to Subaru, CMA Valley Subaru and Mr. Charles Camp for recognizing the impact and importance of teachers in our children’s futures. YOU have made a difference at McSwain Elementary!

Augusta County Sheriff's Office Donuts with a Deputy

The Augusta County Sheriff's Office hosted its 5th Annual "Donuts with a Deputy" event on October 22. This program allows community members, especially children, to have positive interactions with the deputies and to get to know the men and women that serve their community. This year we had over 400 people at Clymore Elementary in Fort Defiance. There was a coloring contest, a K9 demonstration and plenty to eat and drink. These events would not be possible without generous donors like CMA's Valley Dealerships! Thank you for your continued support!

Subaru's 'Share the Love' campaign helps local foster care agency support their mission

People Places was honored to be selected as the 2022 recipient of Valley Subaru’s Share the Love campaign. People Places is a local, nonprofit foster care agency that has been serving the Valley communities for over 45 years. We provide foster care, adoption, and community-based services (mostly youth and family mentoring) with the goal of fulfilling our mission to foster resilience in children and families so they can thrive.

Guy K Stump PTA Fun Run

Thank you to CMA’s Valley Subaru for becoming one of our sponsors for the Fun Run! With your sponsorship you helped us provide a bag, a water bottle and bracelets for all of the students at Guy K Stump Elementary School! It was our most normal PTA fundraiser this year due to COVID and the students absolutely loved it! They fundraised for money from family and friends as well to see how much they could run around the track and these kids did great! We were given a sunny but windy day to run, and took each grade out separately to promote distancing due to COVID - the excitement from these children was contagious even in masks! Funding raised supports yearly programs within the PTA such as One School, One Book; Movie Licensing; Teacher Grants; Music Programs; Art Programs; Lanyards for Masks for every child at the beginning of this year; and Kids events usually (though this year with COVID this was not done), and this year we will be sending a book home with each child at the end of the year. Excess funds are placed in the Playground Fund as we are trying to replace the playground equipment at our school. We want to thank you for your support in our fundraising efforts! This fundraiser was one small piece to our large goal that we hope to achieve over the next year! Thank you for using your Love Promise to help your local community, to help us keep our kids healthy with running and walking, and to help us educate them by keeping programs going through PTA funding, and ultimately help with our long term goal of a new playground. We appreciate you! Guy K Stump Elementary School PTA Co- Presidents Tara Mahanes & Sarah McGill

A Bittersweet Purchase

We had a 10-year old Subaru Forester and probably would have kept it another 10 years if my dad hadn't suddenly passed away leaving my mom behind. They had just moved near us before he passed and we needed to be able to bring mom with us to places but our family of 5 took up the whole Forester! I wrote to the sales person from 10 years ago and explained the situation, especially that I am grieving and have no bandwidth for the usual sales song and dance. Charles Camp connected me to a fabulous saleswoman Luce Dorvilliers who loaned me a test-drive and negotiated our purchase (Subaru Ascent 2021) quickly and effortlessly. I may have shed some tears, but that was just saying goodbye to our Forester, not because the buying process was difficult or stressful. We are so grateful to our Subaru dealer! And now, Mom comes with us wherever we go and there's plenty of room!

Blankets of Hope--Valley Mission Blanket Donation

As the Assistant Director of the Valley Mission, I would like to thank CMA Valley Subaru and the Subaru Loves program for donating 80 Blankets to our Residents. We were able to give each adult Resident a blanket. Having a new blanket means more to our Residents than most people would realize. Receiving something that is new and their own that they can take with them is very important and special to them. The generosity of Subaru and the CMA group is greatly appreciated and will continue to provide warmth and security to our Residents even after they have moved on from Valley Mission. Michele Waitier Assistant Executive Director Valley Mission

Subaru Shares The Love with Samuel's Supper

Thank you to everyone at CMA's Valley Subaru for choosing Samuel's Supper as their hometown charity for the 2020 Subaru Share the Love Event! It is an honor to be affiliated with the Carter Myers Automotive group and to be chosen as this year’s local funding recipient. Donations from this event will support Samuel’s Supper in its mission to help families who are caring for a critically ill child. CMA's Valley Dealerships are committed to assisting with community needs, and they have proven to be a reliable source of support for Samuel’s Supper over the years. On multiple occasions, CMA assisted Samuel’s Supper in providing vehicles to families who needed dependable transportation to and from essential medical treatments at UVA Children’s Hospital. Not only did the CMA Valley Group provide safe, pre-owned vehicles at a greatly reduced price, they also offered exceptional service on those vehicles months after purchase. Thanks CMA's Valley Subaru!

SDES Loves CMA's Valley Subaru

Stuarts Draft Elementary School was excited and honored to receive CMA’s Valley Subaru’s donation of STEM books for our school. The investment by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Subaru Loves Learning program has enriched the lives of our students. Sixteen of our third graders proudly accepted the books on behalf of the school. The excitement of receiving the books along with the understanding of what it means to donate, impacted these third graders in a positive way. The books were distributed to each of our 32 grade level classrooms PreK-5, four resource teachers, and two reading specialists. The books support our science curriculum, in addition to incorporating reading skills our students need to be strategic readers. Our STEAM Lab also benefited from this generous donation. This hands-on classroom provides a space for STEM and Problem Based Learning activities. We were able to stock it with the AAAS books that contain science labs for all grade levels. This has provided teachers with additional resources to prepare our students for careers in STEM fields. Our fifth grade Young Authors came together and had the opportunity to read a copy of all the books we received and write thank you letters to CMA’s Valley Subaru. The enthusiasm generated from reading these books was hard to contain. Two of their favorites were What Do They Do With That Poo? by Jane Kurtz and Living and Nonliving Things by Kevin Kurtz. Part of our school’s mission statement reads “SDES will continue to create compelling, rigorous, and engaging learning experiences for our students.” These donated books will help support our school’s mission. Stuarts Draft Elementary School is fortunate to be in a community that has businesses like Subaru who are committed to giving back.

Valley Subaru Supports Montebello Fire Department

It is not unusual to travel graveled roads of our rural mountainous community and pass a Subaru or two. The hub of our community is the Montebello Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) for fire rescue. When the alarm sounds our volunteers respond. Subaru's navigate the twists and turns of these narrow unpaved roads as well as, wildlife, fallen rocks and weather challenges. We do the best we can with what we have, however being a small community funding is not available to purchase new and updated rescue vehicles and equipment. Purchases routinely are of used nature and often require repair. MVFD staying in operation is dependent not only on time and talents volunteered by local residents but also its donations from those who value the service provided for this community. With the Appalachian trail running through Montebello our units are often called to locate lost or injured hikers along with responding to various other rescue scenarios. Without the generosity of others, there would be no MVFD and residents would have to rely on rescue response from the next closest fire station that is 25 mins away and 10.5 miles down the mountain. We want to thank Valley Subaru for their sizable donation to the MVFD. Valley Subaru's donation will help support the tireless and essential work of our all-volunteer Subaru driving fire department, so that we may continue to offer rescue response. Pictured is all members of the MVFD and their Subaru's.

SUBARU/LLS BLANKETS FOR CANCER PATIENTS

The staff at Valley Subaru in Staunton, VA, led by Marketing & Special Events Coordinator Laura Campbell, are bubbly and full of energy. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) was honored to partner with the team there once again for the Subaru Loves To Care Program. During the month of June, the Subaru sales folks encouraged their customers to write Messages of Hope on special index cards. Those Care Cards were delivered to patients on Thursday, July 19, 2018, along with 80 blankets and 50 arts and craft kits. Sandy Bower of UVA Hope Cancer Center Augusta was thrilled to receive the delivery. She shared that last year’s blankets truly meant something special to their patients, and they were honored to receive another supply of blankets. This year we were also joined by General Sales Manager Charles Camp and his precious daughter. She was instrumental in helping us unload the boxes and was the center of attention for the group photo. The nurses on site, especially those who were unfamiliar with the program, were delighted to see all of the donations. Considering the donation of arts & craft kits was optional on the retailer’s part this year, UVA Hope Cancer Center was grateful to receive all 50 kits from Valley Subaru.

The MaDee Project

We, The MaDee Project, would like to personally thank Subaru of America, Inc. and Valley Subaru of Staunton, VA for choosing The MaDee Project for their 2016 Subaru Share the Love Event.

Our foundation also strives to provide funding for innovative research that assists in finding the cause and prevention of pediatric cancer.

Valley Subaru Supports Blue Ridge Area Food Bank

45 miles: That's how far the line would stretch if the 114,000 neighbors we serve in one month stood shoulder-to-shoulder along the highway. But here's the good news: We're feeding every person in line thanks to generous partners like Subaru. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank has been selected by Valley Subaru to participate in Subaru's "Share the Love" program as a Hometown Charity! The annual Subaru "Share the Love" event allows new car buyers to select one of five charities, four chosen by Subaru and a home-town charity chosen by the dealer, to receive a $250 donation per each new car sold in November and December. We are grateful for the opportunity to participate as a Hometown Charity and as a result can provide thousands of meals to our hungry neighbors through this program. Thank you to Valley Subaru for working with us to provide nutritious food to families in need across central and western Virginia. Together, we can solve hunger.
