Subaru Love Promise

I have been working with Findlay Subaru of Prescott for many years now and I must say, they are the MOST amazing dealership I have ever worked with and I have worked with many over the years. My most recent and important experience has been helping our Police K9 Officers as they are soley funded by the community! They have stepped up several times in the last couple of years but most recently, for our K9 Fun Fest at Espire Sports. If not for them, we would not have been able to raise the $7,500 donated to the K9's. This money will help them in several ways including, Veterinary Care, Training and more. They were the Platinum Sponsor of our event and gave sooo much including cash, Silent Auction prizes and giveaways. They also did another event for them a couple of years ago where they donated $100 per car they sold in the month of October which was $9,1000! They help our community in so many ways all the time. We, like many other businesses and non-profits are so grateful that they are in our community! They are incredible people and always ready to give to their community and so wonderful to work with. They make us better and we would do anything to help them and always promote them to our community in any way we can! LOVE THEM!

Prescott Valley American Legion Post #140 was fortunate to find a great partner in Findlay Subaru Prescott (FSP) when it came to the radical idea of conducting a car raffle to raise funds for veterans’ services. Such an approach had never been attempted in the Quad-City region before. So, representatives of both Post #140 and FSP worked together to blaze a new trail in the field of fund raising. Jason Jenkins (FSP’s General Manager) provided the green light to begin the journey while Kara Hartman (FSP’s Marketing Director) developed the marketing strategy and actions that led to a successful project. In addition, Jenkins provided opportunities for car displays and encouraged members of the FSP team to advertise the raffle at various automotive events in which the Grand Prize Award car (2025 Subaru Forester) was displayed during a six-month period. Press releases, radio spots, advertising posters, flyers, and more were implemented to raise public awareness for the raffle and its intended goal. In a final push at the end of the raffle, Jenkins and Hartman were instrumental in Post #140 putting the car raffle proceeds over the top. As a result, the raffle car was awarded to a deserving family from Flagstaff and Post #140 was able to donate proceeds from the raffle to the following veterans’ organizations: Missing in America Project The purpose of the MIA Project is to locate, identify and inter the unclaimed cremated remains of American veterans through the joint efforts of private, state and federal organizations. Arizona Dept of Veterans Services – Military Family Relief Fund The Military Family Relief Fund (MFRF) provides funds that help Veterans, service members, and their families who are currently facing unforeseen expenses or financial hardships. U.S. Vets U.S. Vets is a charity that seeks to prevent and end veteran homelessness by empowering veterans and families through the provision of housing, comprehensive services, and advocacy. U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs – Domiciliary (DOM) The Domiciliary Care Program is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides state-of-the-art, high-quality residential rehabilitation and treatment services for Veterans with multiple and severe medical conditions, mental illness, addiction, or psychosocial deficits. Findlay Subaru Prescott’s sponsorship and participation in the 2024 car raffle was in keeping with their commitment to community and charity involvement since their founding in 2017. The dealership serves as a model commercial enterprise for community and veteran support that other businesses would do well to emulate.

The Natural History Institute connects people to the natural world through experiences that foster a deeper understanding and appreciation. Our Rooted: the Peoples of the Southwest series explores the rich history of human interaction with the landscapes of the Southwest. "Before the Rooted: the Peoples of the Southwest excursion to Walnut Creek, I viewed this land as simply beautiful scenery. I had no idea about the deep history woven into every rock and every stream. Professor Ellis brought the past to life, showing me how the ancestral Pueblo people lived and thrived in this very place. Now, every time I drive around the Mogollon Highlands, I see more than just a pretty view. I see a legacy – a reminder that these people never truly left. Their connection to this land continues to inspire me. This experience has profoundly shifted my perspective. I'm grateful to Findlay Subaru Prescott for supporting initiatives like this, which help us better understand and appreciate the rich history of our community." Findlay Subaru Prescott has generously supported several lectures and field experiences in the Rooted series, demonstrating their commitment to enriching our community through education and cultural awareness. Their support allows the Natural History Institute to continue offering these valuable programs and inspire a deeper connection to the natural world and its history.
