THANK YOU FROM LLS, BALISE SUBARU! - Tasha M
For the past 10 years, Subaru of America and its retailers have partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. The partnership has involved delivering blankets, patient care kits, and messages of hope to cancer patients across the country. On June 18th, Balise Subaru personally delivered these items to Hasbro Children’s. These blankets, patient care kits, and messages of hope provide warmth and comfort to patients in treatment. The love and support shared through this cherished partnership means a lot to everyone involved! This year, Balise Subaru also opted to support the LLS Urgent Need Program, which will provide blood cancer patients financial relief to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, utilities, etc. Thank you for your commitment to supporting your community as well as the LLS mission to create a world without blood cancer and improve the quality of life for patients and their families!

On 01/13/2025, Balise Subaru donated 204 coats to The Rhode Island Coalition to End Homelessness. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.

Subaru Loves Pets! - Robin K
Balise Subaru’s team made an extraordinary impact by donating pet supplies to the East Greenwich Rescue League, significantly improving the lives of pets awaiting adoption. This thoughtful act of generosity provided much-needed resources such as food, bedding, toys, and hygiene items, ensuring the rescued animals received proper care and comfort while waiting for their forever homes. For many of these animals, often coming from challenging or neglectful situations, the donated supplies represented a lifeline. High-quality food and comfortable bedding allowed them to regain strength and health, while interactive toys and treats helped alleviate stress and foster a sense of joy in their temporary shelter environment. The team’s efforts also uplifted the morale of the shelter staff and volunteers, enabling them to allocate their limited resources more effectively. With essential supplies readily available, they could focus on other critical aspects of animal welfare, including medical care and adoption outreach. This contribution didn’t just enhance the quality of life for the animals but also created an inviting and well-equipped environment that inspired potential adopters. Families visiting the shelter could see happy, well-cared-for pets, which undoubtedly increased the chances of adoption. Thank you Balise Subaru for all you do year after year!
Balise Subaru Loves to Help - Brianna E
Balise Subaru’s donation of coats for kids is a meaningful contribution that addresses a basic yet vital need—warmth during the colder months. Many families face financial challenges, and providing children with new, properly fitting coats ensures they can stay warm and comfortable during the winter. The act of donating coats goes beyond the physical gift; it also fosters a sense of dignity and self-worth. For a child to write their name in their very own coat for the first time is incredibly special. It symbolizes ownership, pride, and the feeling of being cared for. For many children, having a personal item like a coat with their name on it can be a powerful reminder that they are valued and loved. This simple yet profound gesture helps build confidence, empowers children, and brings them a sense of security and belonging, making the gift of a coat truly unforgettable
Gift wrapping from the Balise Team - Tania H
Balise Subaru's donation of time to gift wrap children's toys at Hasbro Children's Hospital was a deeply meaningful and impactful gesture. The holiday season can be a particularly challenging time for children who are hospitalized, often facing serious illnesses and long treatments. In this context, a simple wrapped gift can bring a sense of normalcy and joy to a child, offering a moment of happiness amidst the stress of being in the hospital. By volunteering their time, Balise Subaru not only provided a festive touch to the holiday experience for these children but also contributed to a larger sense of community support. The wrapped toys were a visual reminder that these children were cared for, not just by the medical professionals, but also by the community around them. For families dealing with the stress of a child’s illness, knowing that others are investing time and care in creating a positive experience can be incredibly uplifting. The act of gift wrapping also helped create a more cheerful environment within the hospital, making it feel less like a clinical space and more like a place of hope and celebration. Additionally, this effort exemplified corporate social responsibility, showing how businesses can contribute meaningfully to the well-being of their communities. Balise Subaru's involvement provided more than just physical gifts—it gave a sense of connection, compassion, and encouragement to children and their families at a critical time.
Balise Shares the Love at Hasbro Children's Hospital - Tania H
We are incredibly fortunate to have Balise Subaru as a dedicated partner in our mission. Their steadfast support has made a profound impact on our hospital programs, not only through their generous donations but also their personal commitment to our community. A few weeks ago, the Balise team went above and beyond by volunteering at our summer cookout in the Healing Garden. Their presence brought joy to our pediatric patients and families, and we were thrilled to have them join us. Thanks to their donations, we have been able to rebuild and enhance the Healing Garden—a space that offers peace and comfort to patients year-round. This year's Share the Love campaign was especially successful, raising an astounding $50,000! We are deeply grateful to the entire Balise team for their continued support and heartfelt contributions. Their partnership truly makes a difference.
$1.5M Raised to Make Wishes Come True - Peg W
Over the past 13 years, Make-A-Wish has been both honored and grateful to partner with our Subaru of New England Retailers as one of the four national charity partners of the Share the Love campaign. We are thrilled to share that following this year’s results, the combined support of our local Massachusetts and Rhode Island retailers has just surpassed $1.5 Million for Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island! It is proven that wishes can have a positive impact on the medical outcomes of children facing critical illnesses. A wish experience can improve a child’s quality of life and emotional well-being, while also strengthening families. A wish enables a child to imagine a future that is bright and provides motivation and hope when they need it most. The transformative impact of a wish cannot be overstated, and we depend on the generosity of partners like you to move closer to our vision of granting the wish of every eligible child in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Your support benefits not only a local child and family, but their community as well, reminding every one of us that we are capable of uplifting one another. Thank you, Balise Subaru, for your compassionate partnership in bringing hope and joy to local kids.

Grateful for the serendipity, both organizations thrived in a newfound alliance that transcended mere business dealings.
