Make GVL Greener, a grassroots 501c3 organization dedicated to creating sustainable and green urban communities, has found an exceptional partner in Fairway Subaru. Through their unwavering support and commitment to environmental responsibility, Fairway Subaru has made a significant impact on our organization and our mission to address climate justice and social equality challenges.
In our quest to bring together the community to be the best FOR the planet and our neighbors, Make GVL Greener hosted the Earth Pride festival at Unity Park in downtown Greenville on June 24, 2023. This event served as a platform to connect local green and inclusive small businesses, non-profits, and community members passionate about sustainability. It was during our efforts to forge connections that we reached out to Fairway Subaru, and their response was nothing short of remarkable.
At the Earth Pride festival, Fairway Subaru made a resounding statement by showcasing their commitment to sustainable transportation by bringing their first EV, the Subaru Solterra, to demonstrate the numerous benefits of EVs to the community. By providing an up-close experience, Fairway Subaru played a pivotal role in educating and inspiring families and businesses to consider sustainable transportation options. Recognizing the importance of collaboration, Fairway Subaru went beyond their presence at the event. They actively promoted the Earth Pride festival through their marketing channels, amplifying the reach of our message and giving an even bigger voice to our Eco-warriors.
Fairway Subaru has not only supported Make GVL Greener through their active participation but has also become a champion for our cause. They have used their business as a force for good by leveraging their platform to spread awareness and encourage others to get involved with our mission. Fairway Subaru's commitment to the environment extends beyond their involvement in community events. With a dedicated drop-off point for recycling, they help us provide a location for our neighbors to give back through recycling. By dedicating their time, resources, and promotional efforts, Fairway Subaru has significantly contributed to advancing our mission of creating sustainable and equitable urban ecosystems. Their support has gone above and beyond, from showcasing sustainable transportation options at the Earth Pride festival to actively promoting our organization and initiatives.
With their in-house commitment to environmental responsibility through recycling and energy-efficient practices demonstrates their dedication to fostering a greener future. It shows that they are walking their talk as they help us further engage with our fellow Greenville-ians providing credibility and momentum to the movement we are actively working to create. We are immensely grateful for their partnership, as together, we strive to create a sustainable, inclusive, and environmentally conscious community for generations to come.
