Earth Day, Investing in our Planet - Stephanie B
Stephanie, On behalf of the Town of New Castle and its Climate and Environment Commission, thank you for participating in the Earth Day 2023 event. Your partnership wit6h the town contributed to the wide range of environmental topics covered during the event and helped residents see the value of "investing in our planet," the international theme of this year's Earth Day. Your efforts provided a learning opportunity for residents to understand how EVs operate and what options are available to them as they consider their next vehicle purchase. You were so welcoming to people as they stopped by, which added to the fun of our event. Around 250 people visited the tables at the event, more than twice the number of people who attended the inaugural event in 2022. We hope that together we can continue to grow the event and make it a meaningful and valuable experience for all involved. Again, thank you very much for generously giving your time as an Earth Day 2023 partner. Sincerely, The Honorable Bruce Leland Councilmember Denise Scheberle Chair, Climate and Environment Commission

This February for Subaru Loves to Help®, Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru donated 500 pairs of socks to our local homeless shelter, Feed My Sheep. Feed My Sheep Ministry provides the basic necessities for the survival of the local homeless in the Roaring Fork Valley and surrounding counties. Not only is their mission to aid to the homeless community but also help see the true value of self sufficiency through case management and substance abuse programs. It was such a great day visiting with Karen Peppers and everyone else over at Feed My Sheep. We here at Phil Long Subaru want to thank our community because without your support none of this would be possible.

Subaru Loves SENIORS! - Dacia R
Through our partnership with Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru, we hosted a month-long adoption event throughout the month of October. We housed several pets at our shelter, and by the end of the event, Colorado Animal Rescue and Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru helped 33 pets find their perfect, loving home. Thanks to the team at from Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru we were able to hold the event for the entire month of October at our shelter, and reduce adoption fees to $31. One of the most exciting adoptions was Alex, a 12 year old Norwegian Buhund who came to us in early August after his owner was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and could no longer care for him. Despite being a senior, Alex still had plenty of energy for long walks, and even enjoyed playing with other mellow dogs. He often could be found hanging out with our front desk staff! Towards the end of our event, the perfect family gave Alex a chance, meeting him in the morning on 10/27 and returning later that day to make it official! We couldn't be happier to see such a loving companion find a home to call his own. THANK YOU Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru!

We are so thankful for the generous donation of $3,000 from Phil Long Subaru! The money went to our very grateful new teachers. The teachers were able to buy supplies and materials that they needed to create a wonderful place for their students to come to everyday. One teacher wrote, "We have enjoyed so much from the Subaru grant but one thing that stands out are the beautiful puppets I purchased, making reading our stories much more engaging. Our letter stamps have helped with spelling. Lastly, our Learning Without Tears set has come in so very handy for letter formation!" We are so thankful for our community partners!

Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru recently presented a check to River Bridge Regional Center as a part of the 2021 Subaru Share the Love Event. A donation in the amount of $13,000 was provided to the local nonprofit’s Bridges to their Futures Campaign, which will expand resources and services to support the growing number of child sexual assault victims in Pitkin, Garfield, Eagle and Rio Blanco counties. 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 also met various requirements, including the charity does not harm animals, is environmentally responsible, and ensures donations are being used for the charitable mission and not administration costs. “Phil Long Subaru selected River Bridge as our hometown charity for its mission to help our most vulnerable,” said Carroll Winkler, general manager of Phil Long Subaru. “Together with Subaru of America and our customers, we are helping victimized children in our community move forward to rebuild their lives and forge brighter futures for themselves. I want to thank my team for providing exceptional sales and service experiences and to our customers who allow us to give back to our neighbors and community.” From November 18, 2021 to January 3, 2022, with every new Subaru purchased or leased, Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) donated $250 and Phil Long Subaru donated $50 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, SOA and the retailer provided a donation for every Phil Long Subaru vehicle routine service visit during the campaign period. "River Bridge is very appreciative to Phil Long Subaru for their support and recognition of the services that we provide for our community. Thanks to the Share the Love event, the funds raised will help further our programs and services for the many children affected by abuse each year,” said Mary Cloud, assistant director of River Bridge Regional Center. “Together we are joining the mission to stop child abuse and create a community where children are safe, families are strong, and where all abused children are believed, supported and able to heal." Established in 2008 by SOA, the Share the Love Event brings Subaru owners together to make a difference in the community while showcasing its Subaru vehicles. Since the inception of the Subaru Share the Love Event, SOA and its retailers have donated more than $200 million to support individuals and animals.
