Cascade Subaru Loves Pets - Colleen R
The Humane Society of Summit County is so thankful for Cascade Subaru’s continued support of our mission to rescue, rehabilitate and adopt Summit County’s most vulnerable animals. They recently hosted two Subaru Loves Pets Adoption Events on October 20th and 27th where the Humane Society of Summit County’s Mobile Adoption Center (MAC) was on site at Cascade Subaru for people to meet a few of our dogs and cats available for adoption. Over 100 people interacted with our animals during the two events. Special thanks to Nick Corlett from Cascade Subaru for coordinating these adoption days. During Subaru Loves Pets month, 177 animals from the Humane Society of Summit County found their loving forever homes. One special “underdog,” Margo, found her forever home when her adopters Kathy, and her son Corey made an appointment to meet her at the Humane Society of Summit County. Margo is a senior dog of 16 years of age with a disability. This 31-pound German Shepherd is 3-legged, but that didn’t stop Kathy and Corey from wanting to give Margo the loving home she deserves. Kathy said she knew they were not going home without Margo. This senior sweetie is lucky that she has found her retirement home!
American Red Cross Blood Drives at Cascade Subaru! - Tina D
The American Red Cross Blood Services Program would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to the Cascade Subaru located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The Primm family hosted another successful blood drive on Oct. 6, 2022 and collected 22 units of blood! To date, they have hosted 18 blood drives and collected a total of 703 pints of blood which will help save up to 2,109 lives! Special thanks to all who came to donate and helped with this life saving mission. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. On average, the Red Cross must collect 14,000 blood donation every day for patients across the country. Only 38% of the population is eligible to donate blood and less than 10% of those who are eligible actually do. Almost everyone will know someone in their lifetime who will need blood. Please help save a lives and register to donate for the next Cascade Blood Drive on Thursday, December 8, 2022 from 1pm to 7pm. For more information or to schedule an appointment please visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter code: Cascade or call 1-800-Red-Cross for additional information. Thanks for your support Cascade!
Subaru Loves Learning at Woodridge Elementary - Beth H
Woodridge Elementary School appreciates the partnership with Cascade Subaru as they generously donated school supplies to classrooms through the Subaru Loves Learning Program. All of the supplies were appreciated, but the purple ear buds were a big hit. Students wrote thank you cards, and they were hung up in the offices to share the appreciation with all at Cascade Subaru.
Cascade Subaru are champions of animal rescue - Louise D
The Humane Society of Summit County cannot thank Cascade Subaru enough for their continued support of our lifesaving mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and adopt Summit County’s most vulnerable animals. Throughout the years, Cascade Subaru has generously supported in many ways and their kindness has helped to raise awareness for the importance of adoption. In summer 2022, Cascade Subaru supported our biggest annual fundraiser, the Pawsibility Ball. This event helps to generate over 15% of the funds needed to operate our shelter annually. Cascade Subaru’s generous sponsorship and endorsement goes miles toward making this possible! The event is a fundraiser and is also an opportunity for animals to meet potential adopters. One dog and 4 kittens were adopted by guests of the event! Emma, a shar-pei mix (pictured below) who was adopted following the event, had recently recovered from a dangerous and painful skin infection after she was abandoned outside a home to fend for herself. Cascade’s partnership far exceeds their financial support. Dave Hurte and the Cascade Subaru team, many of whom are adopters themselves, are devoted pet advocates. Their partnership directly helps to save pets in need, give them a second chance, and complete families through adoption.
A Partnership We Can Count On - Zaina S
For over a decade, Cascade Subaru has been a partnership that the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park could count on. Even through a pandemic, Cascade Subaru has committed to help serve our mission of enriching people’s lives and enhancing our region by inspiring use, preservation and support of Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP). Thanks to Cascade Subaru, thousands of children have had the opportunity to experience quality environmental education – from scientific exploration of the Cuyahoga River to singing around a campfire. Their support has helped make Cuyahoga Valley National Park accessible to local youth and inspire empathy and connection to the natural world. This experience for children is more critical now than it has ever been during these difficult times, and Cascade Subaru has once again pledged their support by being a sponsor for our annual Clambake fundraiser, a Conservancy event that raises money to support environmental education in CVNP. Not only has Cascade Subaru benefited environmental education, but it has also helped maintain miles of park trails. CVNP has been a refuge for so many during these difficult times. Cascade Subaru’s unwavering support has helped the Conservancy keep CVNP’s trails looking beautiful so that we can welcome an unprecedented number of visitors during the pandemic. Not only that, their partnership has helped the Conservancy provide unique cultural and educational opportunities that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being for all walks of life. We are extremely grateful that Cascade Subaru, its customers, and its employees share our commitment to making our community a better place.
A Partnership that Gives Hope - Louise D
The Humane Society of Summit County cannot thank Cascade Subaru enough for their continued support of our lifesaving mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and adopt Summit County’s most vulnerable animals. Throughout the years, Cascade Subaru has generously supported in many ways and their kindness has helped to raise awareness for the importance of adoption. In Spring 2021, we hosted a joint virtual event encouraging adopters to share photos of their rescued pets to promote adoption and raise support by offering prizes from Cascade and Subaru. Of the dozens of photos submitted, the winner of the contest was Bo, a senior dog with degenerative myopathy and paralysis in his back legs. He loved to go for walks and meet people in his wheelchair. Sadly, Bo passed away from his condition after the contest, but his family found comfort in the number of people who were touched by his story and who were encouraged to make a dog’s life as happy as can be, even for just a short time. Cascade’s partnership far exceeds their financial support. Dave Hurte and the Cascade Subaru team, many of whom are adopters themselves, are devoted pet advocates. Their partnership directly helps to save pets in need, give them a second chance, and complete families through adoption.
A Longstanding and Meaningful Partnership - Dan B
Cascade Subaru has supported the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park for more than a decade. Through this partnership, the Conservancy has been able to offer children life-enhancing experiences at the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center, maintain miles of hiking and riding trails, and complete construction of our new Boston Mill Visitor Center. Of course, fundraising is the hinge upon which our programs turn, and this year, our fundraising events were wiped away by the Coronavirus. This challenged our staff to develop a new, innovative solution to take the place of one of our biggest fundraisers. Picnic in Your Park was conceived and produced as a drive-up event that replaced our annual clambake. Cascade Subaru immediately signed on to sponsor the event and provided cars, entertainment, support and the funds needed to pull it off. The event was a tremendous success! We were not surprised. We have learned over the years to count on Cascade Subaru. They have designated the Conservancy as the local charity to receive funds from the annual Subaru Share the Love Event, directing more than $200,000 to our cause. In addition, Cascade’s corporate sponsorship brings us additional revenue to further our programs – especially those that directly benefit the children of Northeast Ohio. The Conservancy encourages children to become stewards of our environment through education and interaction with nature. Between the fall of 2019 and spring of 2020, we were able to welcome over 4,000 resident and day program students to our Education Center. Among our most popular programs are Rockin’ at the Run, where students get to hike the Kendall Ledges trail and discover how geologic processes have shaped the land, and Among the Trees, where students search for and discover clues about who lives in a forest and how animals and organisms interact with their environment. Cascade Subaru’s financial support also helps us maintain miles of park trails. Because of the pandemic, the park has seen an unprecedented number of visitors. The sheer volume of users requires us to be extra vigilant when it comes to trail maintenance. Finally, our partnership with Cascade helped us construct and open our new state-of-the-art Boston Mill Visitor Center. This “front door” to the park helps orient new visitors to the Cuyahoga Valley and connects them to our programs and landscapes. We are proud that Cascade Subaru, its customers, and its employees share our commitment to making the community a better place through efforts to protect, preserve, and keep our park beautiful for all to enjoy.
Cascade Subaru: Towpath Champions! - Katelyn F
The Ohio & Erie Canal and Towpath Trail are valuable resources for more than 2 million hikers, bicyclists, birders, kayakers and nature lovers who look for adventure, treasure our history and find inspiration in our natural resources. This trail provides physical and emotional connection to our collective story for the people who call the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area home. Every year we know we can count on Pat Primm, owner and marketing manager of Cascade Subaru, to raise money by riding in the Ohio & Erie Canalway Towpath Century Ride. Pat has been one of our most reliable champions! Every dollar raised goes to the construction, maintenance, support and promotion of the Towpath Trail. But this is just part of the story! Cascade Subaru has been a committed Towpath corporate sponsor for years! The Towpath Trail melds perfectly with Subaru owners’ adventure-seeking lifestyle. Our trailhead parking lots are packed with Subarus sporting every kind of roof and bike rack available. Over the past 12 years, Cascade Subaru has assisted in raising over $1,000,000 for the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. Whether cycling 100 miles in support of trail development, volunteering to beautify our public spaces, or advocating for the Towpath Trail in our communities, Cascade Subaru has been a partner whose support we deeply appreciate.
