2016-2017 Patriot Partners:
STRIVE, South Portland, ME and Camp Sunshine, Casco, ME
Patriot Subaru was proud to team up with two wonderful organizations that help our community.
• STRIVE - dedicated to helping young people ages 11-24 with developmental disabilities.
• Camp Sunshine - a retreat for kids with life threatening illnesses and their families.
THE RESULTS: Patriot Subaru Share The Love Event raised $27,000 for STRIVE (L) and $44,000 for Camp Sunshine(R)! A combined total of $71,000!
November 19th, 2016: "Drive and STRIVE BBQ" at Patriot Subaru was great! The Red Cross collected 20 pints of life-saving blood, and then volunteers from STRIVE served over 200 people burgers and dogs from the BBQ!
December 3, 2016: Camp Sunshine "Be The Match" Bone Marrow Registry and Chili Cook-Off! Great day! Camp volunteers served up bowl after bowl of delicious chili prepared by the Sunshine chefs to associates, customer, and friends. We had 7 people go through the Bone Marrow Donation application process, with swab test, and many more interested. It's a life saver!

2015-2016 Patriot Partners: Preble Street, Portland, ME
Nothing like a November BBQ! Perfect timing this year, sunny and just right. Customers and friends enjoyed our great BBQ abilities. Manning the spatula is Melanie McKean from Preble St, ready to serve a hungry crowd. Preble Street, a Portland-based organization that works to create solutions for homelessness, hunger, and poverty. By the end of the Event, many customers had placed their $250 Subaru donation on Preble, resulting in a check for $45,000!
This brings Patriot's two year total donation via Subaru to Preble Street to an impressive $87,000! What impact does that money have? Preble Street's buying power can turn those dollars into approximately 609,000 pounds of food, primarily staples such as milk, pasta, cereal, sugar, coffee, ground beef, and pancake mix for its soup kitchens and food pantry. Donations also cover overhead costs, such as facilities and equipment, and social work staff who work to help people move beyond poverty.
In addition, over the two seasons working with Preble Street, Patriot set aside a Forester in the showroom, and through social media channels asked folks to drop off a canned or boxed food good. We did this for five weeks each time, adding up to nearly 1000 extra pounds of food goods.
What's our secret to success? Juggling! Patriot Subaru Service Manager Glen Reed #00, went toe-to-toe with Preble Street's Executive Director, Mark Swann. It was amazing!

2013-2014 Patriot Partners: ALS Northern New England
2013-2014 was the first year that Subaru established the policy of adding a local charity to the group of national charities designated for Share The Love.
Patriot reached out to the ALS Association Northern New England chapter to be our first Share The Love charitable partner. Each partner must first apply to Subaru for approval, to meet the high standards of this program. The ALS Association works with people with Lou Gehrig's Disease, and their families through services and programs in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
As you can see, we love a good BBQ, and the folks from ALS had a big crowd the whole time. Customers and friends of ALS who had heard about the event came in to provide great support, as well as making donations to the program.
At the end of the Share The Love Event, a check for $5958.20 was presented to the ALS Northern New England Chapter. Pictured here: Patriot Subaru General Manager, Brian Beattie, ALS Chapter Director, Amy Kuzma, ALS Care Services Coordinator, Nell Davis, ALS Fundraising and Community Relations Manager, Amy Coyne and Subaru of New England/ District Sales Manager, Bill Bergeon.
