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.

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.

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.
