SUBMIT A STORYProviding comfort, hope, and confidence to children in urgent need
Subaru and its retailers partner with Operation Warm® to visit local homeless shelters and support agencies to provide children with brand-new necessities like coats, shoes, and socks.
These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, they can also have a significant impact on a child’s mental and emotional well-being.
Through this partnership and other historical Subaru Loves to Help efforts, Subaru and retailers like us will have supported over 1 million children and adults in urgent need nationwide.
At Subaru, we believe what we leave behind is a reflection of who we are. That’s why Subaru and our retailers partner with the Arbor Day Foundation (TM) to provide and distribute 100,000 regionally appropriate trees across the country. We’re proud to establish the largest corporate tree distribution ever. Through this and other Subaru Loves the Earth initiatives, Subaru and our retailers have helped distribute and plant over 1.1 million trees.
Subaru believes we should all have a chance to lead a healthy life. That’s why for over 10 years, Subaru and its retailers like us have partnered with Blood Cancer United® and our local hospital to give warm blankets and encouraging messages of hope, written by our employees and customers, to support our community members living with cancer. Through our combined efforts during this partnership, we have supported over 550,000 cancer patients nationwide. Together, we are proud to be Blood Cancer United’s largest automotive donor.
Subaru and its retailers, like us, are continuing our support of education and high-needs schools in our communities through Subaru Loves Learning(R) by providing teachers across the country with funding to purchase the school supplies and resources they know are needed to help students thrive in the classroom. Through our partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, Subaru and its retailers have supported more than 950,000 students nationwide and are proud to be their largest corporate supporter.

Through our partnership with local and national organizations, Subaru has donated over $70 million, supporting the rescue, adoption, and health of over 700,000 animals. We're proud to be the largest corporate donor to the ASPCA.
Subaru and its retailers believe in giving back to our communities. That's why for every new vehicle sold or leased during the Subaru Share the Love event, Subaru and its retailers, like us, makes a donation to national charities that our owners care about and to over 2,700 local charities where Subaru owners live and work.
Now, after 17 years, Subaru and our retailers have donated nearly $320 million to charity all to give back and to make the world a better place.
Our Love Promise can be seen in various partnerships with local charities and non-profits. We're grateful for the opportunity, not only to be a part of our community, but to serve it as well.

On June 16, 2026, in Phoenix, Arizona, Subaru Superstore of Surprise partnered with Blood Cancer United (BCU) Desert Region to bring comfort and support to patients and families at Phoenix Children's Hospital through the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative. Together, Subaru Superstore of Surprise delivered 80 blankets and care packages to patients receiving treatment.

Their visit served as a meaningful reminder that even small acts of kindness can provide comfort, encouragement, and hope to families facing cancer.

The evening celebrated the hard work, determination, and future aspirations of students throughout the Dysart Unified School District. As scholarships were presented, it was a powerful reminder that the support generated through Share the Love extends far beyond the dealership and creates meaningful opportunities for local students pursuing higher education. In addition to supporting scholarships, funds raised through the Share the Love Event help support the Dysart Education Foundation's Laird Mini Grant Program, providing teachers with resources and tools that enhance learning opportunities in the classroom.

On June 18, 2026, Subaru Superstore of Surprise was proud to host another successful 3rd Thursday Owner Appreciation Event. These monthly gatherings continue to provide a great opportunity for our owners to connect with our team, learn more about their vehicles, and strengthen the relationships that make the Subaru family so special. The evening began with a welcome from our team followed by an engaging question-and-answer session. Owners had the opportunity to ask questions about their Subaru vehicles, maintenance recommendations, technology features, and future Subaru products. Between Joey from our Service Department and Maliyah, our Love Encore Delivery Specialist, every question was met with knowledgeable answers and helpful guidance. One of the highlights of the evening was hearing owners share their experiences with their Subaru vehicles and the adventures they've enjoyed since their purchase. These conversations are a reminder of why we do what we do and reinforce the importance of delivering an exceptional ownership experience long after the sale. Events like our 3rd Thursday gatherings are part of our commitment to the Subaru Love Promise. We believe ownership should be more than just driving a vehicle—it should be about being part of a community. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening another great success.
At Subaru Superstore of Surprise, we believe in showing love and appreciation to the people who make a difference in our community every single day. During Teacher Appreciation Week, we had the honor of partnering with Firehouse Subs to deliver lunch to the amazing staff at El Mirage Elementary School. Teachers help shape the future of our children through their patience, dedication, and compassion. Their impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we wanted to take a moment to simply say thank you for everything they do. Seeing the smiles and gratitude from the teachers and staff reminded us what the Subaru Love Promise is all about — supporting and caring for the communities we serve. We are proud to stand behind the educators who help guide and inspire the next generation every day. From all of us at Subaru Superstore of Surprise, thank you to all teachers for the difference you make in the lives of our children and families.
On March 19, we welcomed our newest Subaru owners along with many of our returning Subaru family for an evening dedicated to them at Subaru Superstore of Surprise. Among them were Chuck and Barbara, who had just purchased their tenth new Subaru. Moments like that remind us that what we build here goes far beyond a single visit it's a relationship built on trust, loyalty, and years of shared experiences. The evening centered around our New owner Orientation, while also celebrating the kickoff of Subaru Loves the Earth in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation. As the evening unfolded, customers gathered with our team for a question-and-answer session that quickly turned into meaningful conversations. Owners felt comfortable, supported, and excited about the journey ahead. Each guest was invited to take home a beautiful tree to plant in their own yard something they can watch grow and nurture for years to come. It was more than a giveaway; it was a symbol of new beginnings, growth, and the connection between our customers, our community, and the environment we all share.
On January 22, 2026, the Northwest Valley YMCA was honored to welcome Subaru Superstore of Surprise as they participated in Operation Warm, delivering 11 boxes containing 132 pairs of new shoes for children in our community. We are deeply grateful for the continued partnership and generosity of Subaru Superstore of Surprise through the Subaru Loves to Help initiative. Their visit was more than simply an event; it was a meaningful reminder of the positive impact that can occur when organizations come together with a shared commitment to supporting children and families. At the YMCA, we strive every day to create a safe, welcoming environment where young people can learn, grow, and simply enjoy being kids. Support from community partners like Subaru Superstore of Surprise helps us meet real and tangible needs, often in ways that extend far beyond what may be visible in the moment. During the visit, we shared a simple but powerful example of that impact: some of our children are still wearing shoes from last year's donation. That reality speaks volumes. It reminds us that generosity does not end when the event concludes—it continues in the comfort, confidence, and dignity children carry with them into classrooms, onto playgrounds, and through the everyday moments that shape their lives. This partnership truly reflects the spirit of community. When organizations and local businesses invest in one another, children feel the difference. They feel supported. They feel valued. Most importantly, they feel seen—and that sense of belonging can be life-changing. We are sincerely thankful for this partnership between the Northwest Valley YMCA and Subaru Superstore of Surprise. Special thanks to Mary Davis, Executive Director of the Northwest Valley YMCA, and the Subaru Superstore of Surprise team including Service Director Joey McMillen, Love Promise Representative Maliyah Clark, Director of Operations Mark Mauer, and General Manager Jerry Wood for taking the time to visit, listen, and support this shared mission. Because of partners like Subaru Superstore of Surprise, we are doing more than providing programs—we are nurturing compassion, strengthening connections, and helping build a brighter future for the next generation. — Amber Johanning Program Director of Healthy Living Northwest Valley YMCA

With Deep Gratitude to Subaru Superstore of Surprise and Mark Mauer By Kristi R. Some moments remind us just how powerful generosity can be. The Dysart Education Foundation (DEF) experienced one of those moments on April 22, 2025, at our annual Scholarship Awards Dinner—a night dedicated to celebrating the dreams, determination, and hard work of our graduating seniors. This year, we were once again blessed by the unwavering support of the 2025 Subaru Share the Love Event. Mark Mauer Director of Operations and Jerry Wood General Manager joined us for the evening, sharing in the joy as we presented DEF/Share the Love Scholarships to several remarkable Dysart District High School seniors. Standing beside these students—each with their own story, their own challenges, and their own aspirations—was a humbling and inspiring experience. It’s moments like these when you can truly feel the weight of what community support means. For DEF, every dollar we receive comes from the kindness of others. We don’t have a large corporate budget, we have neighbors, businesses, and friends who believe in the future of our students. Subaru Superstore of Surprise is one of those friends. Their generosity not only opens the doors of higher education for deserving seniors but also fuels our Laird Mini Grant Program, giving teachers the tools they need to inspire and equip the next generation. It’s not just about scholarships or classroom resources—it’s about sending a message to every student and teacher in our district: You matter. We believe in you. Your dreams are worth investing in. For the past five years, Subaru Superstore of Surprise has been more than a supporter—they have been a true partner, walking alongside us in our mission to change lives. We are deeply grateful for their compassion, their commitment, and the hope they help us bring to our schools. Here’s too many more years of sharing the love—together.
Once again, on June 18th, 2025, at our Board of Directors meeting Subaru Superstore of Surprise and Mark Mauer prove why true partnership always outshines simple support! Fighter Country Foundation (FCF) deeply values every supporter—we need them to fulfill our mission of serving the Men, Women, Families, and Mission of Luke Air Force Base. But there’s something truly special when a supporter steps up and becomes a full partner in that mission. We’ve always said, “Talking about our mission’s success is nothing compared to being part of it.” And Subaru Superstore of Surprise is a shining example of exactly that! Through the incredible Subaru “Share the Love” campaign, this amazing team raised $20,000 for FCF! Those funds will directly fuel programs and services for military members and their families at Luke AFB—programs that truly change lives. One of our favorites? The FCF Blazer Box Care Package Program. Several times a year (outside of pandemic years), we gather with our friends at Subaru Superstore of Surprise to make magic happen with Blazer Boxes—and it is nothing short of inspiring. This year, we were joined by Subaru of America volunteers, Luke AFB leadership, Luke Honorary Commander Alumni (Blue Blazer Squadron), FCF staff and board members, and the incredible Subaru Superstore of Surprise team. Together, we pack care packages for deployed Luke AFB service members. Hearing Luke leadership share what these packages mean was humbling and heartwarming. Sure, the food and hygiene items are appreciated—but what really matters is the message behind them: “We’re thinking about you. You’re not forgotten.” And you simply can’t put a price on that. What we love most at FCF is that this mission is accomplished together—with everyone’s hands and hearts in it. When people actively join in, they become partners, not just supporters. THANK YOU to our Subaru Superstore of Surprise family for being the ultimate model partner. Together, we stand strong in supporting the Men, Women, Families, and Mission of Luke Air Force Base!

For the fourth consecutive year, Subaru Superstore of Surprise was honored to host the First Sergeants of Luke Air Force Base for their offsite meeting, held in our conference room from August 26-28 with a 7:30 AM start. These esteemed leaders, often referred to as “first shirts” or “shirts,” serve as front-line ambassadors to unit commanders, ensuring the health, morale, and welfare of all assigned personnel. First sergeants play a critical role in maintaining unit readiness by identifying and addressing issues that could impact Airmen and their mission. This special duty designation, rather than a rank, is assigned to senior enlisted members with the experience, training, and dedication to guide Airmen and their families through challenges, deployments, and transitions to new units. Hosting this offsite meeting provided a productive environment free from typical workplace interruptions, enabling the First Sergeants to focus on their vital mission of supporting their teams. We are proud to support Luke Air Force Base and the incredible leaders who make such a difference in the lives of Airmen and their families.
On August 3rd, I embarked on a 68-mile mountain bike journey from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon, known as the FLG2GC ride. This challenging trek through the tall pines and grasslands of Northern Arizona is more than a personal test of endurance—it's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. My goal is to raise at least $3,000 for the Marine League Charities (MLC) of Northern Arizona, with a special focus on their flagship program, Toys for Tots. This incredible initiative aims to deliver new toys to less fortunate children at Christmas, providing them with hope and encouragement to grow into responsible and patriotic citizens. Thanks to the generosity of donors and a $1,500 matching contribution from Subaru Superstore of Surprise, I’ve already surpassed my goal, raising $3,085. But the mission doesn't stop there. The Marine League Charities, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, supports various causes, including the Flagstaff Community Toys for Tots, Flagstaff Youth Program, Wounded Marine Program, Marine Relief, and the Coconino Community College Scholarship Fund. Their work makes a profound difference for children in Northern Arizona and members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The FLG2GC ride has supported Toys for Tots for over a decade, becoming a key fundraising event for the Marine League Charities. This partnership ensures a brighter future for countless children while empowering the Marines who make this mission possible. Together, we can continue to bring joy and hope to families in need. Your support means the world, and every dollar donated contributes to making this mission a success. Thank you for being part of my journey with members from Luke Air Force Base and the 309th Fighter Squadron Commander and others.

Thank You to Subaru Superstore of Surprise! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mark Mauer and Tina Dillon for their incredible support during El Mirage Elementary's Educator Appreciation Week. Your generous contribution of delicious breakfast burritos, fresh fruit, and refreshing beverages was greatly appreciated by our staff. Your recognition of our educators' efforts means a lot to us, and it has been wonderful to solidify our community partnership. Thank you for making a positive impact on our school community.
A great thank you to Subaru Superstore of Surprise for supporting El Mirage Elementary this year in multiple ways and building up our Tiger Pride! Six of our teachers were surprised with $500 grants for their classrooms. They used these grants to purchase education resources to support student learning. Mark Mauer and his team attended the grant surprise visits to classrooms. Our teachers and students were so excited to be recognized for their hard work and learning. El Mirage Elementary is a K-4 Title One school, 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch and rely on our school as a safe place before, during, and after school for learning. We created a vision for our school to empower our students, staff, and community to build strong, healthy minds and bodies. Reaching this vision includes providing additional opportunities to be physically active, keep a growth mindset, and focus on college and career readiness. Through this vision, we were able to decrease our behavior referrals, increase parent engagement, and increase academic proficiency. Our teachers are committed to student growth and provide each one exactly what they need to succeed. In the 2022-2023 school year, we were extremely proud to announce that El Mirage Elementary was named an A+ School of Excellence, and a Model School. EMES couldn’t have achieved these prestigious honors without the support of our community partnership with Subaru Superstore of Surprise spearheaded by Mr. Mauer. The grants from Subaru Superstore of Surprise benefited our students and teachers by providing them with needed materials to help further this growth. We are so grateful for both the grants and the partnership. We look forward to the opportunity to continue to grow in our partnership to benefit our students today and in the future.

The Dysart Education Foundation (DEF) were honored once again to be the recipient of funds from the 2023 Share the Love Event. Mark Mauer and his wife attended the event on April 30, 2024 . This is our annual event where we get together and recognize and reward our hard working seniors who earned a DEF/Share the Love scholarship to continue their education. At the dinner, Mark helped DEF President Kristi Richards present the DEF/Share the Love Scholarships to several very deserving Dysart District High School Seniors. As a non-profit that operates solely on community donations and fundraising, this donation also allows DEF to fund our Laird Mini Grant Program. These grants provide teachers in the district the ability to purchase items that go directly back into their classroom. The generosity that comes from the Share the Love program allows DEF to put more money into our District classrooms and also allows us to extend some much needed scholarship money to some very deserving students. We want to extend a big THANK YOU to Mark Mauer and Subaru Super Store of Surprise for their incredibly generous donation. We are honored to have partnered with you for the last 4 years and we look forward to doing it for many years to come.

On October 28, 2023, we hosted a pet adoption day at Subaru Superstore of Surprise with Anthem Pets which is a non-profit 501c3 animal rescue based in North Phoenix. We cannot thank GM Mark Mauer and his entire team for their generosity and support over the years. They have collected much-needed donations for us and with adoption events, we have adopted over 65 amazing animals. Since its founding, Anthem Pets has grown into a 501 (c)(3) non-profit with dedicated volunteers and fosters working 365 days a year. Through their efforts, abused and abandoned animals get a second chance and many lost pets are reunited with their owners through the use of a Pet Hotline and a very active Facebook page. We rescue about 1,000 cats and dogs every year. When a pet becomes our responsibility, it receives a wellness check-up, is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. It then stays with a foster until it is adopted. Some found pets are sick or injured and we work with our veterinary partner, Daisy Mountain Vet Hospital, to determine the best course of treatment for these animals. Because we do not have a shelter, fosters are an essential component of the rescue. While we have some dedicated fosters, we always need more. Many of these families become what we lovingly call “Foster Failures,” which means they’ve adopted the pet they were fostering. We look forward to the continued partnership with Subaru Superstore of Surprise. Thank you, Anthem Pets.

Subaru Superstore of Surprise for the 3rd year was honored to share our conference room and facility on August 21-23 with an 0730 start. The First Sergeants of Luke Air Force for an offsite meeting. First sergeants, or first shirts or shirts, are the front-line ambassadors to unit commanders for maintaining the health, morale, and welfare of everyone assigned. They stay vigilant on watching for things that may adversely impact the readiness of the Airmen and the mission. In the Air Force, first sergeant is not a grade, it’s a special duty designation. It’s filled by a senior enlisted member who has the experience, training, and attitude to help commanders and supervisors provide guidance to Airmen, prepare members and families for deployments, help them through hardships, adapt to military environments, and adjust to a new unit. Being offsite allows for less interruptions and creates a higher productivity level

On June 21st, in Phoenix, Arizona, Subaru Superstore of Surprise, in partnership with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® Desert Region Chapter, had the pleasure of delivering 80 blankets and Care Packages to Phoenix Children’s Hospital (PCH) as part of the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative.

A grrreeeat thank you to Subaru Superstore of Surprise for supporting El Mirage Elementary this year in multiple ways and building up our Tiger Pride!

El Mirage Elementary is a K-4 Title One school. 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch and rely on our school as a safe place before and afterschool. We created a vision for our school to empower our students, staff, and community to build strong, healthy minds and bodies. Reaching this vision includes providing additional opportunities to be physically active, keep a growth mindset, and focus on college and career readiness. Through this vision we were able to decrease our behavior referrals, increase parent engagement, and increase academic proficiency. Our teachers are committed to student growth and give each one exactly what they need to succeed. Our third grade math state testing proficiency grew by 21.41% and ELA grew by 35.68%. Our fourth grade math state testing proficiency grew by 21.73% and ELA grew by 7.26% . The grants from Subaru Superstore of Surprise benefited our students and teachers by providing them with needed materials to help further this growth. We are so grateful for both the grants.

Subaru Superstore of Surprise was honored to share our conference room to the First Sergeants of Luke Air Force for an offsite meeting. First sergeants, or first shirts or shirts, are the front-line ambassadors to unit commanders for maintaining the health, morale, and welfare of everyone assigned. They stay vigilant on watching for things that may adversely impact the readiness of the Airmen and the mission. In the Air Force, first sergeant is not a grade, it’s a special duty designation. It’s filled by a senior enlisted member who has the experience, training, and attitude to help commanders and supervisors provide guidance to Airmen, prepare members and families for deployments, help them through hardships, adapt to military environments, and adjust to a new unit. Being offsite allows for less interruptions and creates a higher productivity level.

The Dysart Education Foundation (DEF) was honored by the Subaru Superstore of Surprise to be the recipient of funds from the 2021 Share the Love Event! General Manager Mark Mauer attended DEF’s Annual Scholarship Dinner on April 21, 2022. This was our in-person event after a 2-year hiatus as a result of restrictions enforced by the COVID-19 outbreak. Imagine our surprise and delight when Mark presented our foundation with a check for $75,000 during the awards dinner! We were and continue to be overwhelmed and eternally grateful for this extremely generous donation. As a non-profit that operates solely on community donations and fundraising, this donation allows DEF to fund additional scholarships for high school seniors who are in need scholarship assistance to further their education. DEF also provides mini grants to teachers in the district.

Thank you Mark Mauer and Subaru Superstore of Surprise for this incredibly generous donation! We are truly humbled and honored to extend our 2 year partnership for many years to come.
The Phoenix Subaru Retailers (in conjunction with KTAR) held a book drive in March 2022. The Raise A+ Reader campaign kicked off on National Read Across America Day, March 2, to encourage the community to prioritize literacy. The campaign even inspired one Valley man, Mike Austin, to learn to read at age 55, The Phoenix Subaru retailers collected new and gently-used children’s books. More than 1,000 books were collected and donated to Southwest Human Development. The books will be placed in Little Free Libraries throughout the community in order to help get books into the hands of kids who need them the most.
Once again, here is another example as to why a partnership is ALWAYS better than being a supporter. Fighter Country Foundation (FCF) always appreciates their supporters and we always seek them. The mission to support the Men, Women, Families and Mission of Luke Air Force requires a large network of supports for us to be successful in executing our mission. What FCF truly appreciates is when our supporters become actual partners in our mission. We have always said "talking about the success of our mission" is nothing compared to "being a part of our mission" and the Subaru Superstore of Surprise is the perfect example of that model!!! Once again, the Subaru Superstore of Surprise raised $25,000 for FCF through the Subaru "Share the Love" campaign, and FCF will use those funds to provide programs and services to support the military members and their families at Luke AFB. One of our favorite of those programs is our FCF BlazerBox Care Package Program. Multiple times a year (outside of pandemic years) FCF brings their supporters to our friends at the Subaru Superstore of Surprise and absolutely rock the BlazerBox Program and I can't express how rewarding it is. This year we had Subaru of America volunteers, Luke AFB Leadership, Luke Honorary Commander Alumni (Blue Blazer Squadron), FCF Staff & Board Members and Team Members from the Subaru Superstore of Surprise pack 408 care packages that we sent downrange to military members from Luke AFB who are deployed. It was very rewarding to hear from Luke Leadership who candidly shared what the impact of these care packages truly means. As much as the food & Hygiene products are appreciated, it is more about the Deployed Military Members simply knows that we are thinking about them and you can't put a "supporter price" on that feeling. What we love at FCF is that we accomplish this mission with everyone. Each person involved get to be a part of the rewarding feeling of supporting our troops, especially our deployed troops. We have found that those who are physically a part of our mission become Partners vs simply supporters. THANK YOU to the family team at the Subaru Superstore of Surpirse for being a Model Partner of Fighter Country Foundation as together, we support the Men, Women, Families and Mission of Luke AFB!!!
Anthem Pets is a non-profit 501c3 animal rescued based in North Phoenix. We rescue about 1,000 cats and dogs every year. We once again hosted a pet adoption event at the Subaru Superstore of Surprise in October. We can not can thank GM Mark Mauer and his entire team for their generosity and support over the years. They have collected much needed donations for us and with adoption events, we have adopted over 50 animals. We look forward to the continue partnership with Subaru of Surprise. Thank you Adam Raley Anthem Pets, President
The Subaru Superstore of Surprise has done it once again and we can't tell you how great it felt to support our Military Members from Luke AFB together...once again. Due to the Pandemic it has been over 15 months since we have been able to get the partnership back together to deliver some awesomeness to our Airmen. We finally did it!!! Subaru staff team members, FCF Blue Blazer Squadron Members and other local partners joined together to put together over 400 Food & Hygiene Boxes and ship them down range to our warriors. It is through the success of the Share the Love Campaign that generates the resources which provides us the ability to execute on our mission to include the BlazerBox Care Package Program. Rudy's Country Store & BBQ came out and fed the Subaru Team, FCF Team and Blue Blazers and then we rolled up our sleeves and got to WORK!!! Mark & his Subaru Team opened up their beautiful facility and provided the perfect venue and set-up so we could rock out those 400 packages and it was fantastic. We have worked with the Subaru Superstore of Surprise for over 3 years on these programs so we truly missed the ability to engage in person and accomplished some great outcomes the enhance the quality of life for our Families at Luke AFB!!! As always...THANKS Subaru Superstore of Surprise for the inclusion and support through the Share The Love Campaign and we look forward to together continue to support the Men, Women, Famlies, and Mission of Luke AFB!!!
My husband (retired) and I are first responders. We have spent a combined 36 years responding to serious criminal investigations, most disturbing, children/families in vehicular collisions. We have never owned a Subaru (until now) and had many choices. We expect this 2021 Crosstrek Sport, to be our son’s 1st car, he is 7. Research and real-life testimonials have helped us decide about our future vehicle! Pleasantly surprised with the pep, Mpg and overall customer service! We are happy #1 Subaru owners!
Dysart Education Foundation (DEF) was selected by Subaru Superstore of Surprise to receive funds from their 2020 Share the Love Event. The $25,000 check, presented to us by Mr. Mark Mauer and other Subaru officials, couldn’t have come at a better time, given that many of DEF’s fundraising plans had to be put on hold due to the pandemic! The funds generated during the Share the Love Event will allow DEF to fund additional scholarships for high school graduates who need scholarship assistance in order to attend college. It will also mean more teachers can receive grants to pay for innovative projects in their classrooms. Thanks so much to Subaru Superstore of Surprise for this generous donation!
The partnership the Subaru Superstore of Surprise has created with Fighter Country Foundation (FCF) is truly a Win - Win - Win story through the Share the Love Campaign. The funds generated through the Share the Love campaign go to support the Men, Women, Families and Mission of Luke AFB through programs and services that are geared towards Morale & Well-Being, Culture & Tradition and Mission Sustainability. There are dozens of programs that are provided within this platform, programs for Deployed Families, Deployed Airmen-Sailors-Marines, Single Parents, Luke Airman Dorm Residents, Financial Literacy, Health & Wellness and so many more. The program I always prefer to highlight is the FCF BlazerBox Care Package Program because of how it brings EVERYONE together to support our Military Members who are deployed downrange and away from their family and friends. For them to receive a little bit of love and thoughtfulness during their time away brings their Morale up in very significant ways. We know this because of the responses we get from our military members upon their return. What makes this program so unique, is who and how it gets supported. FCF hosts the BlazerBox Care Packing Party at our Subaru Superstore of Surprise location and the Food Packages and Hygiene Packages get packaged by all parties. The Subaru patrons who purchased a care and supported the Share the Love Campaign are invited, The Airmen and Families from Luke are invited and the Members and Partners from FCF are invited. "TOGETHER" we will package on average 375 boxes to get sent all over the world reminding our Airmen, Sailors & Marines deployed from Luke how much we care about them. This program is a perfect example of how to collaborate and get all parties involved to provide support for our military. COVID made it tough last year, but that hasn't deterred us, and we already have another packing party on the books at the Subaru Superstore of Surprise. If you want to be a part, you should reach out to the amazing team at Subaru Superstore of Surprise and ask how to get involved. And from FCF...Thank You so much for the continued support through the Share The Love Campaign which has raised over $93,000 for FCF through the years!!!
We lost our daughter in October and we had a very large wheelchair accessible van to help accommodate her needs. I posted on our local Facebook page that somebody had egged the van and how upsetting it was to me because it was my daughter’s van. Mark, the general manager of the Subaru Superstore in Surprise saw my post and offered to detail our van for us. I was shocked and so grateful. I asked him do you realize how big this van is and it’s black? He said they would be happy to do it and they made it shine again. I we were able to sell the van to another family that could use it for their child. So this family got it nice and shiny clean because they were so kind to us at the Subaru Superstore in Surprise. Thank you so much for your kindness.
The employees of all the local Phoenix Subaru retailers volunteered at the United Food Bank to pack emergency food bags. It was a fun and very productive event! At the end of the shift, they packed enough to feed 770 families! The Phoenix Subaru retailers are proud to donate their time and support to such a great cause. This is just one of the ways the Subaru retailers in Arizona are giving back and being more than just car retailers! Pictured are our proud volunteers from Subaru Superstore in Surprise as well as the entire group. Thank you United Food Bank for all the great work you do!
Friday morning GM Mark Mauer and two salesman came down to hand out blankets to our homies, which are now their homies! We call them homies because they are homeless but they are also our friends! As it gets colder these blankets will surely help keep them warm at night. We are so honored to be the organization that Subaru Superstore of Surprise chose to help this season. We look forward to working with them again. We are a small 501c3 working to improve the lives of the homeless people in the valley. We serve them consistently every Thursday with a meal, every Friday by doing a laundry for them, and occasionally when allowed we bring the shower trailer out for them to shower in. It’s an honor getting to work with Subaru in this capacity
The Phoenix Metro Subaru Retailers and Subaru of America employees all volunteered at the St. Mary's Food bank to pack Emergency Food Boxes. It was a fun and hard-working session where we all packed over 31 pallets worth of food for those in need. Mark and Kyler worked hard putting canned foods and other snacks into the emergency boxes. Thank you, Mark and Kyler, for volunteering your time and hard work to help the people of Phoenix! This is what Makes Subaru Superstore of Surprise more than just a car retailer!
We are so grateful for Mark Mauer and the entire team at the Surprise Subaru Superstore.

We could not thank the team enough for their continued support of our mission. We look forward to having many more events with Mark and his team. Sincerely, Adam Raley, President Anthem Pets Animal Rescue
The Subaru dealership located within the City of Surprise has become a model of support for Fighter Country Foundation and Luke Air Force Base. Luke Air Force Base is located within 5 miles of the Surprise Subaru Dealership. Over the past years, the Surprise Subaru Dealership has established a relationship with Fighter Country Foundation which supports the Men, Women, Families and Mission of Luke Air Force Base. Fighter Country Foundation (FCF) works very hard to establish "Partners", not just donors in the mission which provides programs and services geared towards Morale & Well-Being, Culture & Tradition and Mission Sustainability. FCF's programs and services range from Deployed Family Events, Financial Literacy, Health & Wellness with the purpose of enhancing the quality of life at the installation while providing the mission of training the World's Greatest Fighter Pilot while Deploying Mission Ready War-Fighters. What FCF appreciates the most about the partnership we have with Surprise Subaru is that their support towards the Airmen and their families isn't simply "a check" and "Pom Poms" of support for Luke. They get their Staff Team, Senior Leadership Team, and most importantly, their Customers involved in the action. Multiple times over the past couple years Surprise Subaru has physically hosted a Packing Party event at their dealership where the Staff Team, Senior Leadership Team, and most importantly, their Customers become a part of supporting the Deployed Airmen from Luke Air Force Base. This is the model of support FCF strives to cultivate with its partners, and Surprise Subaru has done and exceeded those expectations. Most recently there was a packing party at Surprise Subaru where over 180 care packages were packed and sent off to the Airmen from Luke who are deployed and away from home during the holidays. This wasn't the first time they have done this. Over the past two years, FCF has worked with Surprise Subaru to coordinate 3 packing party events culminating in over 750 care packages with Food and Hygiene projects for the Deployed Warriors from Luke Air Force Base. The support and engagement that Surprise Subaru brings to their Staff and Customers is that "Model of Support" that FCF will share with all about how to support an active duty military installation!!! Thank You very much to Surprise Subaru for leading by example in supporting the Men, Women, Families and Mission of Luke Air Force Base with the partnership you have established with Fighter Country Foundation!!!
We are so grateful for the support from Mark Mauer and the entire team at the Surprise Subaru Superstore. Anthem Pets Animal Rescue held an event at the store and it was fantastic. The whole team was supportive of the animals, helped us collect food and toy donations and most importantly we found homes for many of the dogs and cats we brought to the event. It was such an incredible success that we are going back again in January. Mark has gone out of his way to support our rescue because he knows our mission to be a voice for the voiceless. We take all animals and find them homes no matter how long it takes. Our older, harder to adopt pets get great exposure at Subaru and we could not have asked for a better event. I have attached a video taken at the event and featured on our YouTube Channel. Thank you to Mark and then entire AWESOME team at Subaru in Surprise. You saved lives and we can't wait to work with you again. Sincerely, Lori Moriarty, Presedent Anthem Pets Animal Rescue
Hi, My name is Penelope Thompson and I'm a special education resource teacher at John R Davis ES in the Roosevelt School District. I teach at a Title I school and I absolutely love my job! Well, this is my "Bean Bag" story. I finally was able to buy the car of my dreams...a 2019 Subaru Ascent! Since I'm a teacher I knew I couldn't afford a high monthly payment. The dealer David Castillo was doing all he could to make it happen. Also, although I wasn't aware the general manager Mark Mauer was behind the scene also trying to make it happen. He found out I was a teacher and he knew how badly I wanted this vehicle so they both made it happen! My dream car that I could afford on a teachers income (yay)!! Well that's the beginning of the story. What happened next is the best part. Mark later came up to me and congratulated me on my purchase. He also asked if there was anything that he could do personally to help me with my class. Well, I was so surprised by this request. I never would have thought that buying a car would also give me the opportunity to receive something for my special education students. It only took about one minute and I said "Bean Bags!" You see my students also have emotional needs. I help them with processing high level emotional outbursts. I have created in my classroom a calm and reflective classroom so that my students have a safe place were they can address their emotions. Having bean bags added into this special area would give the students a comfortable place to sit and process their feelings. Mark took on my request immediately and within a couple of days I had "4" Big Joe bean bags. Oh you should have seen my students faces when they came to school the next day! They absolutely loved them! This was last school year and now this school year those bean bags are still doing what I was hoping they would. Giving my students a place to sit, feel safe, contemplate their feelings and most importantly know that they are loved! Thank you Mark, David, and Subaru's Love Promise, for caring about my community and especially my students! Sincerely, Penelope Thompson
Did Subaru Superstore of Surprise go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
