Subaru of Kennesaw support helps Mostly Mutts rescues find forever homes - Janine M
We are so very grateful for the support Subaru of Kennesaw and the Subaru Loves Pets Program. Their partnership helped Mostly Mutts find forever homes for 90 animals in the month of October. Even more exciting is that 9 of these animals were Underdogs who were difficult to place due to their age and/or special needs. Leonard is one of these stories, he is an Underdog. We don’t know how he ended up at the local county animal control, but when they asked us to rescue him, we immediately picked him up. We are known for saving animals with special and medical needs. Leonard exhibited a 'wobble', an unstable, sometimes uncoordinated gate in his hind legs. He had also been 'knuckling' his front left foot. He was fully examined by our vet, x-rayed, neutered and had a hernia repair. It was determined to be a form of congenital ataxia which is a neurological disease. As he spent time in our shelter we learned that he would also react negatively to new situations. Leonard was going to need a quiet, calm home. He did not want to be rushed into new relationships or situations and could nip if startled. His life had been turned upside down and he needed time to learn to trust. We knew it would take a special person who understands his needs to adopt him and after 7 weeks in our care he found his forever home.
2nd Annual Marietta PAL Fall Festival Family Fun House thanks Subaru of Kennesaw! - Daneea B
We are thrilled to share that more than 400 community members came together to enjoy this special day of fun, laughter, and family togetherness. Your incredible sponsorship helped make it all possible and brought joy and opportunity to so many children and families in our community. This year’s Fall Festival was a true celebration of youth leadership, teamwork, and community partnership. From the earliest planning meetings to the final cleanup, Marietta PAL youth played a vital role in bringing the event to life. Under the guidance of PAL staff and volunteers, our young leaders helped design game stations, create decorations, manage sign-in tables, run activity booths, and assist vendors and guests throughout the day. Their excitement, responsibility, and creativity were on full display — demonstrating the values of leadership, service, and pride that PAL strives to instill in every child we serve. The festival was bursting with energy and excitement from start to finish. Families enjoyed an incredible variety of activities, including: 🎯 Interactive carnival games 🎭 Costume characters that brought smiles to children of all ages 🎶 Live music 🍔 Delicious food and treats provided by local vendors and partners. 🏀 Sports stations and fitness challenges led by PAL coaches and volunteers. 🎨 Arts and crafts tables where kids expressed their creativity and took home personalized souvenirs. 🎁 Raffles, giveaways, and community resource tables connecting families with local services, wellness programs, and educational opportunities. The laughter of children, the teamwork of our volunteers, and the engagement of our sponsors made this event a true reflection of what happens when a community comes together to uplift its youth. Subaru of Kennesaw’s support helped us provide high-quality materials, resources, and experiences that made every part of the day shine — from decorations and equipment to prizes and giveaways that delighted our PAL kids and guests. Most importantly, the Fall Festival offered our youth a hands-on opportunity to practice project management, communication, customer service, and event coordination — skills that align with PAL’s mission to build confident, capable, and community-minded young people. Seeing our teens proudly greet guests, assist younger children, and ensure the day ran smoothly was one of the most rewarding parts of the entire event. On behalf of our incredible PAL youth, their families, our staff, and our board of directors, we extend our deepest gratitude for your continued partnership. Your generosity allows Marietta PAL to keep providing safe spaces and positive experiences where young people can grow, lead, and thrive. Together, we are helping to prevent juvenile crime and promote leadership, fitness, academic achievement, and civic responsibility. We can’t wait to build on this year’s success and make next year even more exciting! Mark your calendars for the 3rd Annual Marietta PAL Fall Festival Family Fun House on Friday, September 25, 2026. We hope Subaru of Kennesaw will join us again as we continue celebrating the power of partnership, community, and youth leadership.

Over 10 Years of Partnership Transforming Campers’ Lives - Bria E
For over a decade, Subaru of Kennesaw has gone above and beyond to support Camp Twin Lakes and the thousands of children with serious illnesses, disabilities, and life challenges we serve each year. Since 2014, their dedication has created lasting impact—not just through generous funding, but through genuine connection, personal investment, and an unwavering belief in our mission. Our partnership began with Ralph Kurland, a Subaru of Kennesaw team member who helped design our first campus and whose son found healing and purpose here as both a camper and counselor. Another early champion was Eric Robbins, Camp Twin Lakes’ former CEO and a loyal Subaru customer, who helped solidify the connection between our two organizations. From day one, Subaru of Kennesaw has been more than a sponsor. Their team actively supports our largest annual event, Spin for Kids, and since 2017 has proudly named Camp Twin Lakes as their Hometown Charity—a title that continues to transform lives. Their employees and customers consistently show up, give back, and “Share the Love” in extraordinary ways. In 2025, that love came to life in a powerful way. Thanks to Subaru of Kennesaw’s efforts during the Share the Love campaign, we welcomed more than 3,500 campers this summer, including over 300 first-timers—many of whom had never before experienced the joy of Camp or the deep sense of belonging they found here

Sharing Love, Acceptance, and Growth with Children in Need - David S
Camp Twin Lakes is honored and grateful for our incredible partnership with Subaru of Kennesaw. Since 2014, Subaru of Kennesaw has been a vital supporter in helping us deliver our transformative camp programs for children with disabilities, serious illnesses, and life challenges. The genesis of our partnership was supported by two important individuals, Subaru of Kennesaw team member, Ralph Kurland, who played a role in the design of our camp and whose son was a camper and counselor, and Eric Robbins, Camp Twin Lakes’ former CEO and loyal Subaru customer. From the beginning, Subaru of Kennesaw has sponsored our largest annual event, Spin for Kids, and soon thereafter, we received the humbling distinction of becoming a Hometown Charity, a title we’ve had the honor of holding since 2017. Over the lifetime of our relationship, 460 campers have been helped by their generosity. Subaru of Kennesaw’s decade-long legacy of support has culminated into an exciting year in 2024 for Camp Twin Lakes. Thanks to the generosity of its customers and employees during 2023’s Share the Love event, this year has been an incredible one, which includes our hosting one of our best summer seasons ever serving 3,300 campers. What’s even more exciting than the numbers served has been the tremendous growth they reported during their time with us. From survey results, the majority of our campers reported growth in the areas of self-acceptance (94% reporting growth), wellness (91%), confidence (83%), and belonging (82%). We also received personal testimonials from campers highlighting what the camp experience meant to them, as seen in the following quote: “Last summer was my first time going to camp for kids with seizure disorders. Before then, I never really met anyone else who has seizures, and I didn’t talk about them with my usual friends. At Camp Twin Lakes, I met so many other kids who are just like me and even take the same medicines. Everything about camp was so fun! I loved my small group and my counselors. My favorite activities were rock climbing and swimming. Thank you for giving me the experience of going to Camp!” This camper represents one of 75 who were able to experience love, acceptance and growth this year because of Subaru of Kennesaw and the 2023 Share the Love event. Beyond the direct support we received, Ralph Kurland further supported our mission as an interviewee during our annual Radiothon event in June. His sharing of his story during the broadcast inspired listeners to make donations to support our mission and gave Camp Twin Lakes a way to celebrate our extraordinary relationship with Subaru of Kennesaw. Our work is only made possible with the support of caring, community-focused partners, so Thank YOU, Subaru of Kennesaw, for standing with us to make a difference in the lives of so many children in need.
Subaru Goes Beyond! - Kristen M
At Beyond Limits Therapeutic Riding our riders are our purpose! Serving riders of varying diagnoses and disabilities, we help them reach their full potential in the saddle, and in life! A huge thanks to Subaru of Kennesaw for partnering with us, making it possible for us to share the joy of horses by providing scholarship opportunities to those who otherwise would be unable to participate. Raising a child with a disability is hard, watching them struggle with everyday tasks can be heartbreaking. But in the saddle, the playing field is level, and the horse becomes their wings! We’ve seen great improvements in strength, balance, coordination, confidence, and independence from every rider in our program. Thank you Subaru of Kennesaw for helping our riders continue to Go Beyond!
