Bulls to Birdies: Zach Jammaron's Memorial Golf Tournament - Stephanie B
On July 13, the Roaring Fork Valley hosted the inaugural Bulls to Birdies: Zach Jammaron's Memorial Golf Tournament, an event dedicated to honoring Zach Jammaron, who tragically took his own life on June 5, 2022. Childhood friends of Zach, organizers Zach Thomas and Keith Winkler, felt compelled to transform their grief into meaningful community action. Over the two years following Jammaron's death, Winkler—Sales Manager at Phil Long Subaru—dedicated countless hours to fundraising, collecting donations, and organizing the event. The tournament brought together 128 participants for a full day of golf, uniting friends and supporters in the cause. The event was focused on raising awareness for mental health issues and the need for suicide prevention. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, the tournament raised an impressive $23,727. The event featured a Hole-in-One contest, with the chance to win a brand new 2024 Subaru WRX, courtesy of Phil Long Subaru. All proceeds will benefit local mental health organizations, including the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Garfield County and The Aspen Hope Center. These funds will provide vital resources to individuals in the Roaring Fork Valley, helping to prevent future tragedies like Zach's.
Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru Supports Child Abuse Prevention Efforts in Garfield County - Mary C
River Bridge Regional Center extends heartfelt gratitude to Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru for their unwavering support of our child advocacy center. Addressing the issue of child abuse can be challenging to contemplate, let alone discuss. However, Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru persistently speaks out and raises awareness, working toward a future where every child is safe and healthy. River Bridge is frequently used by law enforcement and human services after cases of abuse come to light. However, what if we could stop abuse before it occurs? Our Center is dedicated to creating a child abuse prevention program for our community—one that is grounded in evidence and accessible to everyone. After numerous discussions and planning sessions regarding the project's vision and execution, River Bridge is thrilled to finally kick off this initiative, thanks to the generous support from Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru and their Share the Love donation event. River Bridge is working with OMNI Institute (Denver, CO) to conduct a Community Needs Assessment to evaluate the current child abuse prevention initiatives in Garfield County. This will help us identify opportunities for collaboration and highlight any gaps that need to be addressed in child abuse prevention education. This effort is crucial for gaining insight into what prevention needs entail and how they should be accessible. Collaboration plays a vital role! Uniting our community is essential to ensure our children are safe at home, in school, at the park, and everywhere else. We look forward to sharing more with our community as our project continues to develop! Thank you Phil Long Glenwood Springs Suburu for understanding the importance of our work and continuing to raise awareness for River Bridge’s mission.

Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru presented a check in the amount of $23,500 to River Bridge Regional Center on May 22 as a part of the 2023 Subaru Share the Love® Event. This is the third year in a row the nonprofit was selected for their impact and support provided to the growing number of child sexual assault victims in Pitkin, Garfield, Eagle, and Rio Blanco counties. The check presentation included representatives from Subaru of America, Phil Long Dealerships, Glenwood Springs Chamber of Commerce and River Bridge, along with employees and partners of the retailer. This year’s donation, an increase of over 50% from the prior year’s $15,500, will aid the operations of the River Bridge Regional Center and the Mountain West SANE Alliance (MWSA). The funds will support over 200 children at River Bridge with various services like forensic interviews, mental health assessment and/or therapy, medical consultation, exams, treatment, and will support the development of an evidence based, community education program on child abuse prevention. Additionally, MWSA will assist more than 40 adult and adolescent assault survivors with compassionate and comprehensive care. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that approximately 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys in the United States experience child sexual abuse. “Thank you to our customers and the community for your continued support,” said Carroll Winkler, general manager of Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru. “You are the driving force that enables us to directly help our vulnerable children in accessing the vital resources they need to move forward, rebuild their lives and forge brighter futures. I am so proud of our employees and Subaru of America for their continued dedication and commitment.” As part of the Subaru Share the Love® Event, retailers were able to select a hometown charity that touched their local community’s heart and met various requirements, provided the charity does not harm animals, is environmentally responsible, and ensures donations are being used for the charitable mission and not administration costs. From November 16, 2023, through January 2, 2024, with every new Subaru purchased or leased, Subaru of America and Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru, together, donated $325 to each customer’s choice of local or national charities, including River Bridge Regional Center, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®, Make-A-Wish®, Meals on Wheels America and the National Park Foundation. Additionally, Subaru of America and the retailer provided a donation for every Phil Long Subaru vehicle routine service visit during the campaign period. “River Bridge is proud to have partnered again with Phil Long Subaru as their chosen community nonprofit for the 2023 Share the Love Giving Campaign. The funds raised from this campaign help us continue our mission and ensure that vital victim services promoting hope and healing remain accessible in our community,” said Mary Cloud, Development Director of River Bridge Regional Center. “Child abuse and sexual assault are sensitive subjects that many find difficult to address openly. Therefore, we appreciate Phil Long Subaru for shining a light on this important issue that impacts many individuals in our community. Together we are coming closer to creating a community where children are safe, families are strong, and where all abused children are believed, supported and able to heal."
