How Serra Gives Back to the Community

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., – At Serra Traverse City, we value our community first and foremost - they're the reason we've been proud to serve the Cherry Capital for as long as we have! We have made it our goal in the past few years to give back to the amazing and wonderful community that's provided so much for us. Find out how Serra gives back to the community today by reading about some of our past efforts to make the Grand Traverse Area the welcoming and incredible community we know it is!

Subaru Share the Love

This past January, Serra Traverse City worked together with Subaru on its ninth annual Share the Love event to give back to nonprofits in the area! For every vehicle purchased in the month of January, Serra donated $250 to a nonprofit organization of the buyer's choice. From ASPCA to Meals on Wheels, organizations in the area and nationally, received no cap on donations from Serra Traverse City. We hope to bring back this incredible event next January as well. Follow our social media for further updates on Subaru Share the Love in the future!

Blanket Donation - Cowell Family Cancer Center

Recently, we partnered with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and donated over eight large boxes of blankets, handwritten messages, and Crayola art kits to patients with leukemia and lymphoma at the Cowell Family Cancer Center. We worked directly with Subaru Loves to Care to fulfill their community promise: "to do right by the communities in which we live and work". We at Serra Traverse City took it one step further with additional blanket and art kit donations, giving back to the incredible community that's given us so much!

Iceman Cometh Bike Race

Last November, we sponsored the one-of-a-kind Iceman Cometh Challenge! Bikers travel through the unpredictable November weather conditions from Kalkaska to Traverse City every year in Michigan's most competitive bike race. Luckily, bikers this year were able to enjoy their competition in warm and welcoming November weather, but who knows what this year's weather will provide them? We were proud to join Subaru in sponsorship of this amazing event, and hope to provide further support for the Iceman Cometh race in the future!

Subaru Loves Pets

We partnered with Subaru once more last October in the Subaru Loves Pets event, benefitting the H.A.N.D.D.S. to the Rescue, a nonprofit that provides medication and housing to animals that have been treated poorly in the past. We held an Adopt-A-Thon in our Subaru Showroom to help pets find new homes, collecting pet supplies all month to donate to new pet owners as well. Keep an eye out this upcoming October for a chance to adopt another lovely dog from H.A.N.D.D.S. to the Rescue!

We teamed up with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society during June and fulfilled Subaru's Love Promise: "to do right by the communities in which we live and work".

Subaru Donates 50 Vehicles to Meals on Wheels

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., – In honor of its 50th anniversary doing business in the United States, Subaru donated 50 vehicles to Meals on Wheels America, to help improve the health and well-being of thousands of senior citizens across the country. Subaru has proudly partnered with Meals on Wheels for the past 9 years, providing over $12 million in donations and over 1.7 million healthy meals, visits, and check-ins for and with community members. This generous donation will provide Meals on Wheels with 50 fuel efficient vehicles, helping the organization save money on fuel while transporting meals across the United States.

The donation of 50 2018 Subaru Outback vehicles is part of the Subaru Loves to Help campaign, a community effort dedicated to providing a positive impact on a local and national level. The donated Outback vehicles will be co-branded with Subaru Loves to Help and Meals on Wheels designs to stand out on the road as meals are delivered to local communities. Locally, the Benzie County on Aging, Inc. located in Honor, MI, will receive one of these Outbacks, which will help provide Meals on Wheels to Northern Michigan in a fuel efficient style.

“We were pleased to break this announcement to our retailers as they do so much to help their local communities and showing them the first of 50 vehicles in the metal really brings the program to life,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. “We wanted to celebrate our 50th anniversary in America in a way that is appropriate for our brand and are delighted to donate vehicles that will support local communities by combatting threats of isolation and hunger affecting seniors across the country. At Subaru, we believe in providing safe and reliable vehicles for all of life’s journeys and are honored to partner with Meals on Wheels to help people live more nourished lives.”

Subaru Loves to Help dedicates its efforts towards improving local communities around the country. With Subaru's donation of 50 vehicles to Meals on Wheels, the automotive brand reaffirms its commitment to helping small towns by providing senior citizens easy access to meals. We at Serra Traverse City share Subaru's values of making the world a better place, and we do so through our own community involvement!
