Gresham Subaru Delivers Hope - Tovi E

On June 20th, Gresham Subaru partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and Randall’s Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. This partnership involved delivering blankets and messages of hope to cancer patients. This year, Gresham Subaru will also support the LLS Urgent Need Program, Pediatric, which will provide 5 pediatric blood cancer patient households with financial relief to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, utilities, etc. It was an amazing delivery day filled with kindness and connection. Through Gresham Subaru’s participation in these programs, it shows they care. Gresham Subaru consistently shows up and shows up for their community, and that impact was felt on the delivery day. Randall’s Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel was a joy to work with, and we were so happy they were the recipients of Gresham Subaru’s donation this year. We are so grateful to work and live in a community that takes care of one another. Thank you, Gresham Subaru and thank you Randall’s Children’s Hospital for being firm in your mission to help others.

Cameron's Wish - Cameron's M

When your child is diagnosed with cancer, your world narrows. Every plan, every dream—put on hold. For us, those days felt endless. But this year, something beautiful happened: our son Cameron got to celebrate not just his birthday, but his recovery. He beat cancer. And Subaru was there to make that moment unforgettable. We arrived at the dealership expecting a small gesture. What we got was a full birthday celebration—decorations, balloons, the works. They didn’t just acknowledge the fight Cameron had been through. They honored it. He got to eat cupcakes, eat his favorite food (noodles!). Open a surprise gift: brand-new luggage, perfect for his Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World. That bag meant more than any toy ever could—it meant he was moving forward. That he had adventures waiting. It’s not every day that a car dealership throws a birthday party for a kid who fought for his life. But Gresham Subaru did. And we will never forget it. —Cameron’s mom

Gresham Subaru Helped Us Distribute Hundreds of Jackets to Underprivileged Kids - Suzanne B

At Birch Community Services, we work with families facing tough financial situations—many doing everything right but still falling behind. One of the most consistent needs we hear about in colder months is warm clothing for their children. This past winter, through Subaru’s larger commitment to supporting local communities, we received a generous supply of high-quality jackets for kids of all ages. It couldn’t have come at a better time. With help from the team at Gresham Subaru, who showed up in person to help unpack, sort, and distribute the jackets, we were able to get hundreds of warm coats directly into the hands of families who needed them most. For some kids, it was the first brand-new jacket they’d ever owned. These moments matter deeply to the families we serve, and to us as well. We’re incredibly grateful for partners like Subaru and Gresham Subaru, who remind us what it looks like when local businesses show up, pitch in, and make a real difference. — The Birch Community Services Team

Boxer Puppy Day at Gresham Subaru – Shanon P - Shanon P

Gresham Subaru welcomed a handful of our rescue boxer puppies into their showroom as part of the Subaru Loves Pets initiative. The staff went above and beyond—setting up a welcoming space, greeting every visitor with enthusiasm, and genuinely helping our pups shine. Events like this make all the difference for our dogs. All of the puppies got a lot of attention and practice interacting with strangers in a healthy environment. We’re so grateful to Gresham Subaru for their partnership and their heart for rescue work. It’s clear they don’t just talk about loving pets—they live it.

Helping Underdogs like Nonnie - Sarah Y

Oregon Humane Society (OHS) would like to thank Gresham Subaru for their recent participation in Subaru Loves Pets month (October 2024). Throughout the month, the dealership solicited donations of pet food from their community through a “Stuff the Subaru” supply drive. The Subaru Loves Pets partnership also included a grant of $6,000, administered by the ASPCA, which went toward necessary treatments – spay/neuter, microchips, and vaccinations -- to help animals become ready for adoption. Thanks to Gresham Subaru’s support, 816 animals found homes during the month of October from our Portland campus, including dogs, cat, kittens, puppies, rabbits, and one guinea pig. Among the animals adopted was Nonnie, a 10-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was born with a congenital leg defect that left him with a severely twisted back leg. Nonnie’s leg didn’t cause him any pain, but it was scary to look at, and it gave him a permanent limp since one of his back feet could not touch the ground. Additionally, Nonnie had allergic dermatitis that had gone untreated for so long that most of the fur had fallen off of his back, and his bare skin had become infected. Nonnie’s age, skin problems, and twisted leg made numerous families pass him by. Finally, the perfect adopters found him and knew that they had to add Nonnie to their family. Nonnie was adopted on October 12, 2024. Thanks to Gresham Subaru’s support, OHS was able to care for Nonnie while he awaited her new family, including providing medicated baths to help heal his infected skin. We are so grateful to Gresham Subaru for their support during Subaru Loves Pets month, and for being an advocate for little underdogs like Nonnie.

Overwhelming Help in a time of need - Kelley O

I had a really great year in 2021. I bought my first Subaru and I met my friends Frances (12) and her parents Zoe and John. It was mid-pandemic and we had all been in the house for way too long. It sounded like her Mom & Dad needed a bit of a break. Being a Marriage & Family Therapist, I was able to get vaccinated early and offered to hang out with Frances a couple of afternoons a week. I had just sent my kids off to college and I remembered how difficult being a mom could be when you don’t have family around. We became great friends over the past few years and I have come to care for Frances when her Mom & Dad go on Tour. They’re in a neat band that you may have heard of? Portugal. The man. Fast forward to this year when my sturdy and reliable Crosstrek flashed it’s “CHECK ENGINE” light at me. I was near Gresham Subaru, so I drove on in. They were so kind and professional - right away. It looked like I needed a few general maintenance things, probably some new tires and a really odd oil drip on to my catalytic converter. I had a price in mind as to what the costs might be. But when I got the full estimate I was shocked. It was close to $7,000. The shop explained why and it made sense, except for the cost. So I called Subaru of America as well as the Manager of Gresham Subaru and asked for help. I was thinking, a payment plan perhaps? In my communication, I explained that this Subaru actually helps me take a really important gal to school – 30 miles each way. My magical friend Frances is Autistic, but more than that, she has been diagnosed with a rare genetic disease called DHDDS that is degenerative and has no cure. It’s manifestation looks like a combination of Parkinsons and Dementia; and she is one of six known cases in the world. So making sure she is well cared for and in a safe car means everything. I also sent over a link to her charity: www.franceschangedmylife.com and explained that there is no treatment or cure which also means there is no insurance coverage for this. A friendship was made. Jake the manager set up a call with me the next morning. He explained that they would like to help take care of the car so I can help take care of Frances. I was blown away and a bit teary. These kind souls gave me a rental for the week and did all the work on my car, including new tires. I don’t know that they know how incredible of a gift that was. Beyond that, Jake mentioned that Subaru was going to find a way to also help Frances’ Charity through Subaru’s share the love event. More tears. After all of this, I wanted everyone to meet. So we all gathered at Gresham Subaru for a picture and so many thank yous. It turns out Jake and his team are big fans of Frances’ parents which was even more fun! I’ve heard how great Subaru was for years. This experience has me convinced that there isn’t another brand of car that would have cared this much. I am a lifelong convert! With the ultimate thanks from the bottom of my heart – you are a neat company and I am proud to know you! Kelley O’Gorman
