Fruitland High School Loves Learning - Helen D
"Thank you, Subaru, for your donation to my PE class. This year I was able to purchase additional badminton racquets to finish replacing old ones that I had to surplus. The students really enjoy the badminton unit and the new racquets make them excited to play. I was also able to purchase a new set of portable goals that I will be able to use for a variety of activities. This year the students have really enjoyed playing soccer, so these goals will provide them with the proper equipment to be able to play multiple games of soccer at a time. Being able to play multiple games at a time makes teams smaller and increase the level of participation for the students. I am grateful to have received the Subaru grant this year to continue to replace old PE equipment and get new items that will help provide students the opportunity to participate in activities that they are interested in. Thank you, Subaru"! Aubrey Wright Fruitland High School PE

I appreciate the help for my students"! Sincerely, Deanna Grimes Fruitland High School Art and Yearbook "Thank you, Subaru for the generous donation of $500 to be used in my classroom.

Loves Learning FHS 1 - Helen D
"The donations from Subaru have been a tremendous help to my classes. I found myself short with materials each time we would work on projects which resulted in students having to wait for their turn for materials. The donations have made it possible to supply my classroom with those needed Materials ensuring more time effective activities. Thank you, Subaru". Adolfo Cardenas Fruitland High School "I know it may go unnoticed by a lot of people but I greatly appreciate your donations to my classroom! This money goes a long ways when it comes to purchasing instructional material or stocking my classroom with supplies for those who need them. Donations like this mean the world to educators and we greatly appreciate it"! Caleb Ziegler Fruitland High School
Dog Adoption - Helen D
"This is our 2nd year partnering with Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru for our dog adoption. They always provide some awesome gifts to potential families adopting dogs. They have been a fabulous partner with us and have asked us to do other events that are not necessarily related to this specific event. We can't wait to work with them again". "One of our deaf dogs, Summer, was adopted during this event. Her adopter, a Subaru employee, had spent several hours trying to reach her landlord to find out if she could have another dog before making a commitment. She had seen Summer at other events and fallen in love with her. Surprised that Summer still hadn't been adopted, she felt it was fate. After hours with no response, she finally said, "if he won't allow another dog, then I'll just move"! That's real commitment and her Subaru dealership even covered the adoption fee. Summer is now thriving in her new home". Charlie Prentiss, President CASPR – Canine and Special Pet Rehoming
Henry's Halloween - Robert G
I grew up in a small rural town about 15 miles east of Fruitland, Idaho, surrounded by cows, fields, trucks and tractors. As far as preforming arts goes, my school had a pep band and a choir. I learned to play the Saxophone, Trumpet and Guitar, but as I grew older the preforming arts slowly left my life. The rural landscape that I grew up in has not changed much over the years, our population is mostly cows. I applied for a job at Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru a year or so ago and am so proud to be a part of that family. Stateline Auto Ranch always goes above and beyond to participate in activities throughout our local rural communities, as well the Subaru Love Promise programs, including Share the Love. Working here has opened my eyes to how in depth business’s go to support their communities, schools and the non-profits. In Late September, I was invited to a 1920's haunted speakeasy. Where I had the opportunity to converse and enjoy the company of the Director, Juli Draney. She had introduced me to a majority of the performers and artists, at their performing arts studio. I noticed a lot of Subaru’s in the parking lot and she confirmed that a lot of her students/attendees drove and owned Subaru’s. I called that an opportunity to tell not just the Auto Ranch Story but the Subaru Story as well. Juli had been trying to get in contact with local dealerships to help with sponsorship of their event. The dealership could showcase a few vehicles for a trunk or treat and would receive tickets to the preshow, Henrys Halloween, A rock opera ballad. I then knew that I wanted to get Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru involved by helping a new kind of charitable organization in our valley. The big question in my mind was, how can these performers, artists and musicians make a living at this? It is hard when something we are passionate about isn’t a real job, but you depend on the money. These starving artists are passionate about performing and do it to bring joy and happiness to others. Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru took on the sponsorship, and for me, after hearing the stories, 16 years of my love for the preforming arts returned. We participated in the trunk or treat, attended the show and even gave our customers a chance to attend the show on us. Both events were amazing! The moral to my story? Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru went above and beyond to make my passion a reality. They helped promoted the trunk or treat and the show as well as making a cash donation to the performing arts studio. Thank you for all you do for your employees, customers and communities!
Finding My Best Friend - Codi P
Last year, we at Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru had the incredible opportunity to partner with Casper Canine & Special Pet Rehoming during the Subaru Loves Pets event. It was such a rewarding experience — I even came close to taking home a small dog myself that day! So, when I heard we’d be working with this wonderful group again this year, I was beyond excited. This year after all the smaller dogs were in the park, Casper Canine brought out some of their larger dogs, and that’s when I saw her — Summer. The moment I laid eyes on her, I couldn’t help but fall instantly in love. I found out she had special needs while inquiring about her history. She is deaf, doesn’t bark and had been in foster care for a few years. Nobody wanted a dog with special needs. After just a little bit of consideration (and I mean very little), I knew she was meant to come home with me. Bringing Summer home has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She fit right into our little family from day one. As a single mom to an amazing young boy, it warmed my heart to see him with his four-legged best friend. It felt like it was finally time for me to have one of my own — and now I do. Our family also includes Jackson, our boxer, who is mostly blind. Summer is deaf, but together they make the perfect team. She sees for him, and he hears for her. They’ve even developed their own way of communicating — gentle nudges and playful gestures. I was told that Summer doesn’t bark, but that’s definitely changed! She’s found her voice and uses it to let me know exactly what she needs. Just the other day, she couldn’t find me and decided to stand in the center of the house where she could see every direction. She barked a few times, and when I popped my head around the corner, she spotted me and came running. She’s my shadow now — always by my side — and I can’t imagine life without her. I’m so grateful for Charlie at Casper Canine & Special Peet Rehoming, who cared for Summer until we were able to meet. A special thank you to Stateline Auto Ranch who wanted to make sure that Summer had a forever home, they paid my adoption fee and sent us home with a Subaru new pet kit. Thank you to everyone at Casper Canine, Summer found her forever home — and I found my best friend.
Unexpected Surprise - Brent J
The day was a typical day, class was beginning and the students getting their class supplies ready. The door opened and in walked an office aid with a big purple box. I had no idea what it was but then I opened it, I got a smile on my face. A box full of basic classroom supplies!! The general community member probably has no idea how important the basics are to a teacher. The pencils, pens, markers, sticky notes, and so much more! Thanks for investing in education!
Meals On Wheels - Helen D
One of my favorite Subaru Events is, Subaru Share The Love. It’s an opportunity to tell a great story about generosity, gratitude and Love. With four national charities and over 825 local hometown charities Subaru—GIVES! Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru in Fruitland, Idaho has chosen Malheur County Meals on Wheels as their local charity. All year Stateline Auto Ranch supports Meals on Wheels, by providing employee volunteers to deliver meals in their Subaru’s, helping with additional fund raising events and giving support to the staff and other volunteers at MCOA. On Monday, Stateline Auto Ranch presented Malheur County Meals on wheels with their check for $10,865.00, during a noon luncheon event put on by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. It was the perfect audience to tell the Subaru Share the Love Event story too. In attendance were many local Business Owners, General Managers and marketing departments, from a variety of different businesses. I like to believe that every business gives with an attitude of gratitude and every recipient receives with that same gratitude. Thank you Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru and Subaru of America for making it possible to feed more of our Senior Citizens.
Cancer Changes Lives - Helen D
Cancer is more than just the “C” word. It’s life changing, not only for the patient but for their family, friends and even their pets. This is a story of one patient we’ll call Sue (to respect her privacy) and how her determination, will to beat it, brought us to her aid. I have known Sue since she was a little girl full of beauty, inside and out. She had more energy than most kids and just wanted to explore all life had to offer. I watched her as she grew up and entered middle school and some where along the line lost track of her. Jump a head 10 years or so, she was now working at our dealership as a service advisor. During her time here, she had a beautiful baby, life was good for her, until it wasn’t. She had some struggles, started a new job and then came the diagnosis, “you have cancer”. She stopped by to see me well into her treatments, she had lost her long beautiful jet black hair and her most importantly her confidence. Her head covered with a stocking cap and tears rolling down her face, all I could do was hug her and reassure her she was so very loved. I encouraged her to embrace all the changes in her life and ask for help when she needed it. Then good new came, she finally got the ALL CLEAR, but was it. Months later more bad new it was back, this has been her life for the last few years, “your cancer free, no wait, it’s back in new places”. She finally reached out and ask me for help. A friend had given her a 6-month old Belgian Malinois, it had not been socialized around people or other pets. She asked if I knew someone who could help socialize her dog. I took on this challenge, enlisting the help of my son and discovered quickly the amount of time, patients and resources it was going to take to work with this high energy dog, but we made it happen. Today, Sue is still fighting the battle with active cancer cells, taking care of her young child, maintaining her home, asking for help and enjoying a high energy dog, that can be calmly walked. The messages of hope, blankets and art-kits that Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru delivered to St. Lukes Cancer Center is truly a blessing for so many people with similar stories. Don’t be afraid to take on an “Ask” even if you think it’s bigger than you. People going through cancer treatment need a helping hand and sometimes the smallest things will make the biggest difference. Thank you Subaru of American and Stateline Auto Ranch Subaru, not only for the donations but for the awareness you bring to patients through Subaru Loves To Care!
