Committed to Brighter Futures for Future Generations - Christopher H
At Phil Long Subaru, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Through the Subaru Love Promise and our Subaru Loves Learning initiative, we are proud to partner with Sopris Elementary School to support the students, educators, and families who make our community stronger. We know that education is the foundation for a brighter future, and having the right resources can make a meaningful difference in a child's learning journey. By partnering with Sopris Elementary School, we hope to help create an environment where students feel encouraged, supported, and inspired to discover their love of learning. This August, with Adopt-a-Classroom, Phil Long Subaru gave school supplies to students and grants to teachers to help support learning and education in our community. Our partnership reflects a shared commitment to investing in the next generation. Whether it's helping provide essential school supplies, supporting classroom needs, or celebrating the incredible work of local educators, we believe that even small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact on a student's life. At Phil Long Subaru, being part of the community means showing up for the people who make it special. We are honored to stand alongside Sopris Elementary School and support the dedicated teachers and staff who work tirelessly to help students succeed every day. Through Subaru Loves Learning, we are reminded that the greatest investment we can make is in our children.

Growing a Greener Roaring Fork Valley - Stephanie W
At Phil Long Subaru, we believe that caring for the Earth starts right here at home. Through the Subaru Loves the Earth initiative, we are proud to support a healthier, greener future for the communities we call home. This year, we are celebrating that commitment by donating 100 trees to residents and the community of the Roaring Fork Valley. Each tree represents more than a gift to the environment; it represents an investment in our neighborhoods, our families, and the generations who will enjoy the beauty of this valley for years to come. From the majestic mountains to the rivers, forests, and open spaces that make the Western Slope so special, our natural surroundings remind us every day why protecting our planet matters. By putting down roots together, we can help create greener neighborhoods, support local ecosystems, and inspire a lasting connection to the environment. We believe meaningful change begins with small acts of kindness that grow into something bigger. One tree can provide shade, support wildlife, and contribute to a healthier environment. One hundred trees can help cultivate a stronger sense of community and a shared commitment to preserving the place we are fortunate to call home. We are honored to bring our community together around a simple but powerful promise: Our Love Promise to the Earth, caring for one another, and leave the world a little better than we found it. At Phil Long Subaru, we don't just drive through the Roaring Fork Valley. We invest in its future, one tree at a time.
Making Waves at Harvey Gap Reservoir - Stephanie W
At Phil Long Subaru, we believe the strongest communities are built when people come together, lend a helping hand, and make memories along the way. Our Subaru Community Appreciation Beach Party at Harvey Gap was the perfect reminder of what the Subaru Love Promise is all about: bringing people together, giving back, and celebrating the community we are proud to call home. Under the warm Colorado sunshine, friends, families, and community members gathered at Harvey Gap for a day filled with laughter, connection, and plenty of fun in the water. From exciting water games to relaxing in the sun, the beach party gave everyone an opportunity to step away from their busy schedules, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with one another. But this day was about more than just having fun. Together, we rolled up our sleeves and united for a shared purpose: keeping our beautiful outdoor spaces clean and welcoming for everyone. By picking up litter and trash along the beach, we showed that even small actions can make a big difference when a community works together. Every piece of litter collected was a reminder that caring for our environment starts with each of us. Harvey Gap provides a special place for families and friends to make lasting memories, and we were proud to help protect its beauty for others to enjoy. At Phil Long Subaru, we are grateful for the incredible people who make our community so special. Seeing everyone come together, support one another, care for the environment, and share a few smiles in the sunshine made this event truly meaningful. The Subaru Love Promise is about more than vehicles. It's about showing up, building relationships, and making a positive impact wherever we go. Our Community Appreciation Beach Party brought that promise to life through teamwork, generosity, and a whole lot of summer fun. At Phil Long Subaru, we believe that when we come together, we can make waves of positive change. Here's to cleaner beaches, stronger connections, and many more sunny days spent giving back to the community we love!

The Road Home: Subaru's Love Promise for C.A.R.E.'s Shelter Pets - Dacia O
Each October, Colorado Animal Rescue (C.A.R.E.) looks forward to Subaru Loves Pets Month - a time when compassion, community, and wagging tails come together in the most joyful way! Thanks to the generosity of Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru, C.A.R.E. was able to waive all adoption fees for approved adopters throughout the month. That single act of generosity helped match 55 pets (28 dogs and 27 cats!) with more than 50 families, opening the door for pets who had been waiting the longest to finally find homes of their own. Among them were Brisket, who spent 330 days at the shelter before finding his perfect person; Toby, who waited 151 days; and Little Man, a feline lovebug who spent nearly 150 days in our care before being adopted. Partnerships like this remind us why the Subaru Love Promise matters. Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru doesn't just support C.A.R.E. with their sponsorship - they champion our mission with action. Their dedication to helping local pets in need allows our team to continue practicing excellence in animal care, education, and advocacy, connecting pets to their people one adoption at a time.
Subaru Share the Love: Fueling Hope and Prevention at River Bridge - Mary C
The Subaru Share the Love program provided the spark that helped River Bridge Regional Center take an important new step—building a child abuse prevention program rooted in the unique needs of our community. With Subaru’s support, we launched a comprehensive Community Needs Assessment to identify our region’s strengths, gaps, and opportunities. The results are guiding us as we create prevention education and outreach efforts designed specifically for the families we serve. Child abuse often lives in secrecy, but every time we share our work—and the healing that happens for children who have experienced abuse—we take another step toward breaking that silence. Subaru helps us share this message of hope and resilience with our community. Their commitment to River Bridge is not only sustaining our prevention work, but also ensuring that children in our region continue to find safety, healing, and strength. All children need heroes. River Bridge is their safe space—and Subaru is the hero helping make it possible.
