Standing With Survivors - Tommy T
We are so grateful to have the Herb Gordon Subaru team standing with us once again in support of our mission at In Honor of Her (www.inhonorofher.org).

A Partnership That Honors America's Heroes - Erica S
Every hero has a story. Some stories are written on battlefields, some through years of sacrifice and service, and others through the courage it takes to overcome life-changing injuries and challenges. At Miracle 4 Melanie, our mission is to honor those stories by standing alongside America's most deserving heroes and ensuring they know they are never forgotten. For 14 years, the Miracle 4 Melanie Golf Outing has brought together a community united by gratitude, compassion, and a commitment to making a difference. What began as a heartfelt mission has grown into a powerful platform of support, creating opportunities, experiences, and resources that directly impact veterans and their families. The partnership with Subaru through the Share the Love initiatives has helped transform that mission into an even greater force for good. The generosity, dedication, and belief of Ed Sarecky and the Herb Gordon Subaru team have been instrumental in helping Miracle 4 Melanie expand its reach and increase the impact we can make in the year ahead. The results are already tangible. In 2026, Miracle 4 Melanie raised more than $350,000 and hosted more than 200 veterans and caregivers at the USA Warriors Sled Tournament in Rockville, Maryland—all made possible through the generosity of partners like Herb Gordon Subaru. The USA Warriors Sled Tournament is more than a hockey tournament—it is a celebration of resilience, determination, and the unbreakable spirit of our wounded warriors. It gives veterans the opportunity to compete, reconnect, build friendships, and experience the pride and purpose that comes from being part of a team. The growth and professionalism of the tournament are directly attributable to the generosity and commitment of people like Ed Sarecky and the entire Herb Gordon Subaru team. Their support has helped elevate the event into an experience worthy of the heroes it serves, allowing us to welcome more veterans and caregivers and create an environment where every participant feels valued, respected, and celebrated. And the impact doesn't end when the final game is over. It lives in the veteran who discovers a renewed sense of purpose. It lives in the caregiver who finds a community that understands. It lives in the family who gets to see their loved one smile, compete, belong, and feel celebrated again. More than $350,000 raised. More than 200 veterans and caregivers welcomed. Countless moments of connection, pride, healing, and hope. Those numbers tell only part of the story. The true measure of this partnership is the lives touched because Ed Sarecky and Herb Gordon Subaru chose to believe in our mission. Subaru's Share the Love commitment represents the very best of what happens when businesses and nonprofits come together around a shared purpose. Through this partnership, Miracle 4 Melanie can bring more awareness, more resources, and more opportunities to the heroes who have sacrificed so much for our country. As we look toward the coming year, we know that the need—and the opportunity to make a difference—is even greater. With the continued support of Subaru and the Herb Gordon Subaru team, we can build on the momentum of 2026, reach more veterans and caregivers, strengthen the USA Warriors Sled Tournament, and expand the ways in which Miracle 4 Melanie serves America's heroes. This is more than a sponsorship. It is a partnership built on gratitude. It is a commitment to service. It is an investment in the lives of those who have invested everything in our country. And it is a powerful reminder that when a community chooses to share the love, that love can reach the people who deserve it most.

THE LOVE PROMISE HELPS CANCER PATIENTS WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION GET FREE RIDES TO TREATMENT - Vivienne S
The American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program appreciates the love shown by Herb Gordon Subaru and their customers through the Share the Love® event that presented a check for $35,000 to help cancer patients get to their lifesaving treatment. Having access to transportation is one of the greatest barriers to completing cancer treatment for patients who cannot drive themselves or do not have enough family and friends to provide them with rides. Herb Gordon Subaru has a longstanding commitment to raise funds that help cancer patients get free rides to treatment through the American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program. Nationwide in 2025, Road To Recovery provided 89,247 free rides to treatment for patients. In the Greater Washington, D.C./Maryland region, cancer patients received 4,788 rides during 2025. The American Cancer Society couldn't provide this free service without the generous support of donors such as Herb Gordon Subaru and the Share the Love® program.

Herb Gordon Subaru Teams Up to Support Galway Elementary Students - Wanda R
Imagine facing cold winter days without something as basic as a coat, shoes, or socks. For countless children and families experiencing homelessness or sudden hardship, this is not a distant issue. It is happening in communities like Silver Spring every day. When people come together to help one another, the impact reaches far beyond warmth and comfort. That belief is at the heart of Herb Gordon Subaru's partnership with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit committed to helping children feel safe, confident, and prepared to succeed. Through this collaboration and other Subaru Loves to Help® initiatives, Subaru and its retail partners have made a meaningful difference in the lives of nearly 900,000 individuals facing urgent need. Earlier this month, Herb Gordon Subaru proudly donated over 100 coats to the Christian Roberts Foundation, which were then given to the students at Galway Elementary School. These coats provide more than protection from the cold. They offer reassurance, dignity, and a reminder that someone cares, which can play an important role in supporting a child's emotional and mental well-being.
