Parternship. It's what makes Subaru, Subaru. - Ben S
Through continued support of our nature preserve, Subaru embodies what a great community partner should be. In the fall, they sponsor our Hops and Herons Craft Beer Festival, one of our primary fundraisers that helps us maintain and steward our 600+ acre wildlife sanctuary. But their support doesn't stop there. Subaru volunteers also visit the Preserve regularly to lend their time and effort to various projects. An energized group of employees recently gathered at the Preserve on a Saturday morning to help our staff with an ongoing habitat restoration project. They worked diligently on the task at hand, showing care and interest as they helped us transform a stretch of degraded bottomland forest from an invasive plant monoculture to a diverse understory full of native trees and shrubs.
Subaru Loves Learning Book Fair with PEP and Fairway - Wakesha F
At Fairway Subaru, giving back has always been about more than writing a check. It is about investing in people, families, and futures right here in our community. Through Fairway Subaru's annual $5,000 donation to Public Education Partners, thousands of students and families across Greenville County were given greater access to literacy resources and opportunities that can truly shape a child's future. The impact reached 7 elementary schools serving some of the county's highest-need communities, including schools facing high poverty rates, chronic absenteeism challenges, and growing multilingual learner populations. Because of this partnership and the support of the community, 3,837 students were directly served through school-day literacy book fairs, where children had the opportunity to choose books for themselves, many for the very first time. In total, more than 10,550 self-selected books went directly into students' hands, helping build confidence, excitement, and a lifelong connection to reading. The impact extended beyond the classroom walls. Family Reading Nights brought together 970 parents, siblings, and community members, creating moments where families could read, learn, and grow together. Another 1,400 books were distributed during these evenings, helping ensure literacy continues at home long after the school day ends. Across Greenville County, 13 literacy engagement events were hosted, supported by 119 volunteers and 193 volunteer hours from community partners who helped bring these experiences to life. Altogether, more than 11,950 books were distributed and over $61,700 was invested into literacy materials, books, and family engagement resources. These numbers tell a powerful story, but they also reveal the work still ahead. Even with incredible community support, the need continues to outweigh the funding available. There is currently a funding gap of $37,824, highlighting both the urgency and the opportunity to continue expanding literacy access for students and families throughout Greenville County. For Fairway Subaru, this partnership is a reminder that even one investment can create a ripple effect across an entire community. Every book placed in a child's hands represents possibility, confidence, and hope for the future.
Subaru loves *Shelter* Pets - Javy P
Fairway Subaru has been an invaluable partner to The Greenville Humane Society for many years. As one of the largest no-kill shelters in the Southeast, community partnerships play a vital role in helping us further our mission of preserving lives and enhancing the wellbeing of animals. From the incredible support provided through the Subaru Share the Love Event to yearly sponsorship of our largest event, The Papa Johns Mutt Strut, themed beverages, and even monthly photo shoots featuring adoptable puppies, Fairway Subaru has continuously found creative, thoughtful, and generous ways to support our organization and the pets in our care. We are deeply thankful for their ongoing partnership and commitment to helping shelter animals find loving homes.
Sharing Wisdom & Fun with the Make-A-Wish SC Youth Leadership Council - Paige M
We at Make-A-Wish South Carolina are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our friends at Fairway Subaru. This fall, our chapter launched its first Youth Leadership Council, a program created to empower the next generation of wish granters. Made up of dedicated high school students from across the Greenville area, this group is passionate about giving back. Through fundraising and hands-on service, they actively support our mission of bringing hope and joy to local children facing critical illnesses. An important part of the council experience is connecting students with leaders who can pour into their growth. In February, Kate Fickell, Marketing and Events Director at Fairway Subaru, joined the group to share practical event planning insight, professional guidance, and encouragement. Her time with the students not only strengthened their campaign efforts but also invested in their confidence as emerging leaders. Several students even updated their professional headshots for LinkedIn as they prepare to champion this cause in new ways. Our partnership with Fairway Subaru has made a meaningful difference over the years, including a recent $37,000 contribution through the Subaru Share the Love Event. With the support of Subaru of America, the largest automotive donor to Make-A-Wish, that generosity directly fuels wishes for children right here in South Carolina. We are thankful for partners who do more than give. They show up, they lead, and they inspire. Kate brings energy, enthusiasm, and heart to every interaction, and her involvement continues to leave a lasting impact on the students and the families we serve.
Our Stories, Your Love Promise - Monica C
Each year, these coats have provided warmth, care, and stability to the young people we serve at Pendleton Place. The support from Fairway Subaru and Operation Warm have allowed those we serve to stay warm as they go to work, school, and play. The coats give them the dignity not to have to ask for a necessity. The high-quality, new, and colorful coats provide autonomy to choose a coat to express themselves. "These are awesome!" - a quote from our Village.
Fairway Subaru Delivers Comfort to Cancer Patients! - Katie K
Fairway Subaru has once again demonstrated its commitment to the community by partnering with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to deliver blankets to the Bon Secours St Francis Cancer Center. This heartfelt gesture is part of the Subaru Loves to Care program, which brings comfort and encouragement to cancer patients across the nation. Each blanket was accompanied by a handwritten message of hope from the customers and staff of Fairway Subaru—reminders that no one fights alone. LLS is proud to stand alongside Subaru to help spread hope, love, and warmth to those battling cancer—right here in our local community and beyond. A huge thank you to the entire Fairway Subaru team for their ongoing support of LLS’s mission to cure blood cancers and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
Fairway Subaru SC Teams Up to Support Local Community - Nate R
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Greenville, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Fairway Subaru SC is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like Fairway Subaru SC have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/15/2025, Fairway Subaru SC donated 120 coats to Pendleton Place. 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 the Earth - Kate F
This year, Subaru and its retailers like Fairway Subaru, will distribute 100,000 trees nationwide. Through our partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation and year‑round collaboration with TreesUpstate, more than 1.1 million trees will have been planted, and our work continues. At Fairway Subaru, we’re honored to join the Subaru Loves the Earth initiative. This spring, 100 staff members and customers selected a mature, regionally appropriate tree to take home as a living reminder of growth, sustainability, and community. We also reserved one special tree to plant on our own property, where it will stand as a symbol of our ongoing commitment to a greener future. Trees do far more than beautify, they clean the air, filter water, provide shade, improve public health, and help prevent flooding. Yet disease, age, and extreme weather continue to threaten our local canopy. By offering these trees completely free of charge, we empower residents to replace lost trees and give back to the environment. When you choose your preferred species and plant it in your yard, you join a movement that strengthens and supports communities for generations to come.

Thank You For Walking the Walk (25+ Miles of It!) - Kea W
Here at Make-A-Wish South Carolina, we are incredibly proud of the Fairway Subaru crew for completing the 25+ mile Trailblaze Challenge hike this May! In their very first year personally participating in this unforgettable event, Team Fairway laced up their boots and took on the (very tough) trails—all to bring hope, strength, and joy to children facing critical illnesses. With months of focused training, determined hearts, and a powerful commitment to the Subaru Love Promise, this amazing team raised over $12,250 for Make-A-Wish South Carolina, which contributed to the current $344,624 donated. That’s more than just a number, it’s life-changing wishes granted (over 50!) for children and families who need them most. Fairway Subaru didn’t just sponsor this cause; they became part of it. Every mile walked, every dollar raised, every blister earned was a powerful testament to the compassion and community spirit that define them. Thank you, Team Fairway, for showing what it truly means to lead with love alongside the other 100 hikers. You’ve gone the distance for kids fighting big battles and the impact of your journey will be felt far beyond the trail!
