Building strength, stability, and self-reliance - Tyler H
Habitat for Humanity Rogue Valley works to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through safe and affordable homeownership, critical home repairs, and community partnerships. Our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a decent place to live, and that lasting change happens when neighbors come together to support one another. Southern Oregon Subaru's generous support of our annual golf tournament helped make this important fundraiser possible. Funds raised through this event directly support our local housing programs, helping families in the Rogue Valley take meaningful steps toward safe, stable, and affordable housing. Partnerships like this allow us to continue building homes, hope, and opportunity right here in our community. We are so thankful for Southern Oregon Subaru's commitment to giving back and for standing alongside organizations like ours that are working to make a difference in Southern Oregon. Thank you again for your partnership and support!
2026 Mike Marshall Memorial Golf Tournament - Angie R
LOVE PROMISE – MEDFORD SUBARU At Reclaiming Lives/Recovery Café we believe that recovery is about more than overcoming addiction, it is about rediscovering hope, rebuilding relationships, finding purpose, and creating a life worth living. Our mission is to provide hope and stability for those struggling with addiction through recovery planning and long-term support in a place where everyone is loved and accepted. Every day we welcome individuals who may feel discouraged or uncertain about their future and offer them a community where they can belong, grow, and inspire. Southern Oregon Subaru's support of the 5th Annual Mike Marshall Memorial Golf Tournament helped make that healing possible. Held in memory of Mike Marshall, who tragically lost his life to an accidental overdose, the tournament serves as both a tribute to his life and a powerful reminder that recovery support saves lives. It brings our community together to raise awareness, reduce stigma, extend hope, and ensure that people struggling with substance use know they are not alone. Because of Southern Oregon Subaru's generosity, individuals in recovery have access to a safe and welcoming space where they can connect with others who understand their journey, receive peer support, participate in recovery-focused activities, and build meaningful relationships that strengthen long-term recovery. For many of our members, the Café becomes the first place where they feel accepted without judgment and valued for who they are rather than their past. The impact of this partnership extends far beyond a single event. It helps create opportunities for people to regain stability, reconnect with family, discover their purpose, and reclaim their lives. Every person who walks through our doors carries a story of struggle, but with the support of partners like Southern Oregon Subaru, those stories can become stories of inspiration to others in recovery and to the community around them. We are deeply grateful for Southern Oregon Subaru's commitment to our community and for helping ensure that no one has to walk the recovery journey alone. Sincerely, The Staff at Reclaiming Lives/Recovery Cafe
Celebrating 25 years of hope, healing, and new beginnings - Kathleen W
Magdalene Home exists to give homeless teen girls and young women who are pregnant, parenting, or considering adoption, a safe and supervised place to live. Our non-profit home is founded on Christian teachings regarding the God-given dignity and value of EVERY human life. We provide a comfortable 5-bedroom home surrounded by beautiful old oak trees located in East Medford. This year we are celebrating 25 years of hope, healing, and new beginnings. Nearly 600 young mothers and their babies have found stability, encouragement, and a path forward within our loving home. Each young woman who comes through our doors finds more than shelter—she finds a community that recognizes her worth and honors the dignity of both her and her child. Through mentoring, guidance, education, practical life skills, and community support, she is given the opportunity to build a healthy and hopeful future. For most of the girls that come to us, this is the first time in their lives that anyone has asked them, 'What are your goals and dreams for you and your baby?" The impact of our work reaches far beyond a single stay. One of our current volunteers first came to Magdalene Home as a baby. She is now 18 years old, graduated from high school in June, and is planning to study nursing at RCC. She is giving back by helping the next generation of young mothers cultivate healthy growth. It is a powerful reminder that when life is valued and supported, the effects are carried forward for generations. We have been blessed by Southern Oregon Subaru for many years and most recently as the Welcome Sponsor for our annual Angel Banquet & Auction which was held on February 7, 2026. This wonderful community event is essential to fulfilling the mission of our organization. We are also grateful to Southern Oregon Subaru for supporting Magdalene Home throughout the year and at our other fundraising events. Thank you, Southern Oregon Subaru! Your generous support shows your love and respect for our young moms as they learn healthy ways to care for themselves and their babies, making the world a better place.
A Weekend at Howard Prairie: Camping, Connection, and Community - Lorie L
Living Opportunities is thankful for the partnership of Southern Oregon Subaru, whose $2,000 sponsorship helped make our June 2026 camping trip possible. Through their support, 19 campers, 13 staff members, and many day trippers spent three days at Howard Prairie Campground enjoying fishing, games, campfires, and time together in the beautiful Southern Oregon outdoors. Living Opportunities' mission is to empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families to thrive in diverse communities: living in inclusive neighborhoods, engaging in meaningful work, and sharing in experiences that enrich all of our lives. Access to the outdoors is something many of us take for granted, yet it can be out of reach for people who need additional support to participate safely and comfortably. Southern Oregon Subaru's sponsorship helped remove those barriers by covering camping fees, food, supplies, and staff support, ensuring every camper could attend at no cost to them or their families. Camping at Howard Prairie gave participants the chance to fish, explore, build friendships, gain confidence, and create memories that will last long after the tents came down. Just as meaningfully, it gave participants the chance to share in the outdoor traditions that are such a cherished part of life in Southern Oregon. We are deeply grateful to Southern Oregon Subaru for helping create a weekend filled with connection, belonging, and adventure.
Partners in Compassion: Saving Thousands Together Since 2009 - Karen E
At SoHumane, we know that vulnerable animals need more than shelter, they need champions. For over 15 years, Southern Oregon Subaru has been exactly that. Through the Subaru Love Promise, this partnership has transformed countless lives, creating ripples of compassion that reach every corner of our community. In 2025 alone, SoHumane took in more than 250 stray animals, many arriving in critical need of medical care. Providing this level of treatment would be nearly impossible without the steadfast support of community-focused partners like Southern Oregon Subaru. Their commitment ensures that vulnerable animals receive the healing, safety, and compassion they need to thrive. The heart of this partnership is the annual Share the Love adoption event. Over the years, this beloved event has placed nearly 300 animals into loving homes and raised an extraordinary $371,840 to support our life-saving work, including $28,433 in 2025 alone. Each dollar directly impacts our ability to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals who might otherwise have nowhere to turn. Southern Oregon Subaru actively champions our cause, using their marketing channels and community presence to shine a spotlight on the importance of adoption, spay/neuter services, and compassionate animal care. This visibility helps us connect with more families ready to make a difference. Year after year, they've also stood by us as Presenting Sponsor of A Toast for Tails. In 2025, this signature fundraiser brought in over $300,000. These funds directly support programs like the Saving Train, our lifeline for animals pulled from overcrowded shelters where time is running out. Because of Southern Oregon Subaru and our compassionate community, more than 12,000 dogs and cats have been given a fresh start, and together, we're committed to saving even more lives in the years ahead. Karen Evans Executive Director, Southern Oregon Humane Society May 2026

Rise to End Violence so "Every Home a Safe Home." - Cindy G
Southern Oregon Subaru has provided support to WCST the last four years during our annual campaign, "Rise to end Violence." WCST Domestic and Sexual Violence Advocacy Services, formerly known as Women's Crisis Support Team, has been serving Josephine County, OR for almost 50 years. We provide comprehensive range of services to ALL survivors of domestic and sexual violence, including emergency shelter, safety planning, advocacy counseling, and financial assistance-all free of charge, thanks to generous community support and partnerships with local organizations. Without partners like Southern Oregon Subaru, we would not be able to help 100-plus families per month that seek shelter, information and resources. WCST believes in building thriving communities and supporting healthy relationships can prevail over domestic and sexual violence. Thank you SO Subaru for all you do for our communities.
Debt of gratitude - Keila A
I owe a great debt of gratitude to Eugene O'Brien and the entire Southern Oregon Subaru service team, including the managers who assisted me with an issue they did not create. My windshield required replacement due to a crack, and I initially used another local vendor recommended by my insurance company. Unfortunately, after two windshield replacements and three attempted recalibrations, my EyeSight system never functioned properly. The vendor's final recommendation was to take the vehicle to Subaru, leaving me caught in the middle between the two parties in an uncomfortable and frustrating situation. Recognizing my frustration, Subaru stepped in and, as a courtesy to me as a customer, took full ownership of the issue. They replaced the windshield, recalibrated the EyeSight system, and even provided a rental vehicle while the work was completed—something I had previously requested from the third-party vendor and was denied—all at no cost to me. While I understand this may be considered a "first-world" problem, Subaru handled the situation with exceptional professionalism, class, and genuine kindness. Unbeknownst to them during this time, one of my daughters had and was recovering from surgery during this stressful period. The care and efficiency with which Subaru resolved everything within days meant more to me than they could have known. Thank you again to Eugene and everyone at Southern Oregon Subaru for taking such good care of me.
Growing Native Plants for Pollinators and People - Kristina L
PPRV is proud to share our Love Promise Story alongside so many other amazing nonprofits that do what they do better with Southern Oregon Subaru's amazing support! With Southern Oregon Subaru as a partner, PPRV is growing more native plants for pollinators and people! Beginning in 2023 with our first part-time Nursery Manager, our native plant nursery has been able to increase both the number of plants grown and cared for, as well as the number of species, for the Southern Oregon community. Our Nursery Manager oversees our nursery operations, manages weekly volunteers ("Pollinteers"), and coordinates our plant sales and donations. With Southern Oregon Subaru's support, more native plants are growing in school yards and front yards, and more people are helping to save the pollinators - one plant, one garden at a time.
No Pet Left Behind - Pauline R
No Pet Left Behind would like to thank and show our gratitude to Southern Oregon Subaru, for their continued support for our annual "Putts for Pets" fundraiser. No Pet Left Behind is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization helping Pets in need in Southern Oregon. We believe that no pet should suffer simply because their people can't afford vet care for them. No Pet Left Behind pays for that vet care, through Southern Oregon Subaru's, caring and generosity, we have been able to facilitate hundreds of deserving pets in getting the vet care they need to live a happy, healthy life. Recently, we had a call from an elderly gentleman who was very worried and upset about his dog. She had been scratching incessantly and losing much of her hair. He explained that he needed to get her help, but his only income with Social Security and he could barely pay his rent. He lived alone with his pup, who was his best friend, he had no money to get her any help. No Pet Left Behind arranged and paid for two vet visits, happy to report with the treatment this puppy received, she is now doing great, and her dad is no longer worrying about how to get help for his beloved pup. Without Southern Oregon Subaru's generous support, pets like the one above would suffer without treatment. We at No Pet Left Behind are forever grateful for Southern Oregon Subaru. They are not only a car dealership, but they are also a compassionate and supportive part of our community. Thank you, Southern Oregon Subaru!
