Pawsitively Loved: How Subaru of Kennesaw Helps Good Mews Share the Love - Nikki H
At Good Mews, love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a mission. Every purr, head boop, and gentle paw placed on a lap is a reminder of the kindness that makes our work possible.

Share the Love: Subaru of Kennesaw Goes Above and Beyond for Community Advocacy - Dominic T
In a remarkable display of community support, Subaru of Kennesaw stepped up to sponsor the Turner Foundation for Community Advocacy's inaugural Scholarship Awards Gala and Silent Auction. This incredible partnership made a lasting impact on the lives of young students striving for success. Thanks to Subaru of Kennesaw’s generous contribution, the Turner Foundation was able to award four deserving students from our mentorship program with $1,000 scholarships each. These scholarships were more than just a financial boost; they were a validation of the students’ hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Each of the recipients, participants from Frederick Douglass High School, is now better equipped to pursue their college dreams. Beyond the immediate awards, Subaru of Kennesaw’s involvement also helped us raise crucial funds during the silent auction. These funds will directly support the next class of participants entering our mentorship program this fall, ensuring that future students will continue to receive guidance and opportunities to excel both academically and personally. Subaru’s commitment to sharing the love is not just about selling cars, but about driving positive change in the communities they serve. Their unwavering support for local initiatives like ours showcases the true meaning of community partnership. Together, we are creating a brighter future, one student at a time. Thank you, Subaru of Kennesaw, for making this journey possible and for believing in the power of education and mentorship!
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!
Special Graces for Special Learners - Jennifer C
Gracepoint School was founded in 2012 to provide a comprehensive learning environment for dyslexic students, and they had only four eager students the day it opened. Since then, the school has blossomed with year-over-year growth, and now serves over 135 students in grades K-8. A loyal customer with two students at Gracepoint reached out to Subaru of Kennesaw five years ago because the school was seeking community support to help meet classroom expansion and supply needs. Subaru of Kennesaw was happy to respond, and has provided financial support to Gracepoint since then. Dealership team members have assisted with the school’s annual fun run and toured Gracepoint to see how the school responds to dyslexic learners firsthand. After years of fundraising efforts, and support by community businesses like Subaru of Kennesaw, Gracepoint was able to open the doors of the 2024-2025 school year on a new 30,000 square foot campus. We look forward to the school-community partnership that makes such a difference to these diverse learners for many years to come!
Stepping in the Right Direction - Jennifer C
Last year, The Hope House provided more than 80,000 warm meals to members in our community experiencing food insecurity, and provided shelter services of more than 78,486 safe nights of rest. Between the Emergency Shelter and Supportive Housing, MUST Ministries serves as a place of refuge for many in our community facing financial hardship. The Hope House operates 365 days a year and the most difficult of those days for those seeking shelter are often in the winter months. For children experiencing homelessness, this temporary situation can have a lifelong impact because the lack of proper clothing can often mean the difference between going to school or not. Through Operation Warm, Subaru of Kennesaw donated brand new shoes and socks to over 100 children in hopes that those new shoes provide the first step towards a more secure future. Must Ministries accepts financial, non-perishable food, and clothing donations year-round, and appreciates the generosity of all community members who strive to make the future a better place for everyone.

Subaru Loves Pets and we love Subaru! - Janine M
Subaru of Kennesaw has been an amazing supporter of Mostly Mutts for many years. Every October is Subaru Loves Pets month and this year the focus was on the Underdog, dogs who may be overlooked due to age, physical disabilities and chronic illnesses. This October, 62 dogs and cats were adopted. Of those, 8 were Underdogs! This is the story of one of our Underdogs, Bernard. On May of this year there was an urgent call from an overcrowded animal control to save Bernard. His eye was the worst we have ever seen. He had a terrible, traumatic injury to his right eye, which had been left untreated for quite some time. Because of the neglect, his eye became infected and was quite difficult to treat. His eye was removed, and stitches were required. The infection was so bad that a second surgery was needed. The abuse and trauma he suffered in his prior life had taken a toll on Bernard’s spirit as well. He did not trust people and could not tolerate anyone coming near his right side. He lashed out and bit out of fear and insecurity. He did not want to be picked up. We were worried about who would adopt a little dog who does not like to be held. But Mostly Mutts did what we do best. Our dedicated trainers and volunteers gently spent time with him. Slowly they began earning his trust and eventually his affection. One day a former adopter walked in without an appointment. This wonderful couple had previously adopted another dog from us who had similar trust issues. He is now who is thriving in their care. They fell immediately in love with Bernard and was willing to invest the time needed to secure his trust. In November, 156 days since his life was saved, Bernard went to his forever home. Thanks to the support of the team at Subaru of Kennesaw, we continue to be able to ensure that all dogs get the happy endings they deserve.
