Subaru believes we all should have a chance to lead a healthy life. That's why Subaru and its retailers, like us, partner with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS) and their local hospital or cancer treatment center to give warm blankets and encouraging messages of hope, written by retailers and Subaru customers in their stores, to support patients facing cancer. Through our partnership with LLS, we've supported nearly 350,000 cancer patients nationwide. We're proud to be LLS's largest automotive donor.
Subaru and its retailers, like us, are continuing our support of education and high-needs schools in our communities through Subaru Loves Learning(R) by providing teachers across the country with funding to purchase the school supplies and resources they know are needed to help students thrive in the classroom. Through our partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, Subaru and its retailers will have supported more than 470,000 students nationwide and are proud to be their largest corporate supporter.
Subaru believes all pets deserve a loving home. That's why Subaru and its retailers, like us, partner with a local animal shelter every October to provide direct financial assistance and host adoption events to help animals find loving homes. Through our partnership with local and national organizations, we have donated over $51 million, which has supported the adoption, rescue, transport, and health of over 420,000 animals. We're proud to be the largest corporate donor to the ASPCA.
Subaru and its retailers believe in giving back to our communities. That's why for every new vehicle sold or leased during the Subaru Share the Love event, Subaru and its retailers, like us, makes a donation to national charities that our owners care about and to over 2,100 local charities where Subaru owners live and work.
Now, after 15 years, Subaru and our retailers have donated over $256 million to charity all to give back and to make the world a better place.
As a large family-owned dealer group, our approach to business is driven by a strong sense of support and community. Just like how we prioritize our own family, we are committed to providing unwavering support to those around us.

Palatine Library District is grateful to have found a partner in Napleton’s Palatine Subaru who values literacy and helps us achieve our mission of boosting literacy for all ages and build a lifelong love of literacy. One of the ways we do this is through our Winter Reading Challenge. Every year, we choose a nonprofit to receive a grand donation from our sponsors like Subaru once our community meets our reading goal. This year, our community came together and read 13,647 books, exceeding our goal of 12,000 books! Because of this accomplishment, Subaru’s donation and sponsorship of this program directly benefits Palatine Historical Society. We’re happy to say that their donation will help a high school senior who resides in the Palatine Township pay for their college tuition. Subaru’s donation to this program went directly to the Palatine Historical Society’s scholarship fund amounting to a $1500 scholarship. At the end of the program, we got together with representatives from the historical society and Napleton’s Palatine Subaru’s general manager for celebratory photos to honor the community’s achievement.
I have had the pleasure to partner with the leadership team at the Napleton Palatine Subaru dealership at our annual Oktoberfest event the last two years. As our environmental sponsor, they allow us to reduce our waste impact of the Oktoberfest event. We have reduced waste by two tons via composting, collected nearly 5,000 pounds of recycling materials, and educated the public on how they can help reduce their impact to the environment. Napleton, along with Palatine Cool Cities and the Collective Resource Compost Cooperative, have enabled the Rotary Club of Palatine to be a leader in advocating for a healthy environment in our community. This initiative as a whole has raised our Club's image and standing in Palatine and nearby villages. Randy Klingner Environmental Chair Rotary Club of Palatine [email protected]
Palatine Library District is incredibly fortunate to have found a community partner in Napleton’s Palatine Subaru. Their donations help us achieve our mission of inspiring connection, curiosity, and joy through literacy and enrichment in patrons of all ages, especially children. This year as we celebrated our 100th anniversary, we wanted to honor our history and work with local businesses that make an impact in our community. Napleton's Palatine Subaru was the first business to support this tremendous occasion by donating to our mini golf fundraiser weekend. In September, we turned our library into a 19-hole mini golf course for a weekend of fun while raising money for a great cause. Subaru's donation helped us raise $10,000 that weekend to purchase a LiteZilla Lite Brite wall for the Youth Department. A Lite Brite is a fun, creative activity for children that develops their critical-thinking, problem-solving, and fine motor skills. As a library, we're ecstatic to be able to provide an activity for children that will help them develop and grow. The Lite Brite wall will be installed at Palatine Library's Main Branch this spring.
For years, Napleton's Palatine Subaru has demonstrated community support through its partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and Illinois Cancer Specialists - Arlington Heights via the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. This program delivers blankets, patient care kits, and heartfelt messages to cancer patients. On August 5th, the dealership's team made a special delivery to Illinois Cancer Specialists - Arlington Heights, providing warmth and support to patients. The blankets offered comfort, the care kits included essential items, and the handwritten messages conveyed kindness. The heartfelt visit deeply touched patients and their families, reaffirming the community's support. The initiative fosters hope and solidarity in the fight against cancer. Napleton's Palatine Subaru's ongoing commitment to this cause continues to make a meaningful difference in patients' lives.
In May of 2024, Napleton's Palatine Subaru raised funds to support the Violet Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer.

The store generated over $13,000 in donations for the month of May!
I am grateful for the opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation to you and Napleton Palatine Subaru for the unwavering support you have shown towards Chicago Collegiate Charter School. The request to share a Subaru "Love Promise" story prompted me to reflect on the profound influence your generosity has had on both our school and the wider community. The Subaru Love Promise embodies a vision of respect for all people and a commitment to making the world a better place. This belief aligns perfectly with our mission at Chicago Collegiate. We see every day how the Love Promise Community Commitment positively influences the lives of our students and families. Thanks to Napleton Palatine Subaru’s generous sponsorship, our annual benefit, "Beyond the Halls," held on June 7th at the beautiful Loft on Lake, was a resounding success. We raised over $70,000, which will significantly fund our programs and support nearly 300 students from grades 5-12. Your support is more than financial; it represents hope and opportunity for youth at risk of violence, trauma, and lack of resources. Your commitment to making a positive impact in our community goes above and beyond. Not all heroes wear capes, and your dedication to supporting education and at-risk youth truly exemplifies this truth. Your contributions help us create a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for our students, enabling them to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. Sharing this Subaru Love Promise story is a meaningful way to highlight how Napleton Palatine Subaru’s support has made a tangible difference in our organization and community. Your generosity helps us meet immediate needs and empowers us to create long-term, sustainable change. Thank you once again for showering us with support and helping to change the lives of nearly 300 youth. Your partnership is invaluable to us, and look forward to continuing to work together to make a positive impact.
Napleton's Palatine Subaru hosted an adoption event for the dogs of Second City Canine Rescue on June 22, 2024. We brought nine dogs to the adoption event and to say that Napleton's staff were helpful would be an understatement. They directed traffic and lifted all of our heavy items; they even bought us pizza! General Manager Theo Davis was particularly kind and helpful and everything you could want in an adoption partner. We were able to find new homes for several dogs and are so excited to be coming back to Napleton's Palatine Subaru in October for Subarus make a dog's day adoption event.
In October, Napleton’s Palatine Subaru held an event in the showroom and service department to raise funds for the Violet Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer. For every car sold and for every car serviced, on behalf of our customers, a donation was made to the Violet Foundation. The Violet Foundation helps to fund research for pediatric brain cancer treatments and also helps support individual families in the Chicagoland area. This October, in collaboration with our wonderful sales and service customers, the portion from sales and service was over $11,000 contributed to the fund.
Chicago Collegiate is incredibly fortunate to have established a longstanding partnership with Napletons Palatine Subaru. This partnership has played a pivotal role in our mission to empower every single scholar with the necessary academic skills, intellectual habits, and character traits to thrive in college, make a positive impact in their communities, and ultimately transform the world.

Much credit and many thanks to Napleton’s Palatine Subaru and to Danny Napleton for their essential support of our low-waste objective for the local 2023 Oktoberfest held in Palatine, IL from September 15 to 17. In collaboration with the Palatine Rotary Club and the Palatine Cool Cities (PCC) organization, Napleton’s Palatine Subaru’s contribution was vital to the success of the goal (and the first ever attempt) to manage and reduce the amount of landfill waste generated at the Rotary Club Oktoberfest. Napleton was the sole sponsor of the low-waste initiative, and beyond sponsorship, Danny and his team were active and earnest in the planning process and were onsite for over 20 hours as enthusiastic event volunteers. The Palatine Rotary Club Oktoberfest is an annual three-day event that attracts between 15,000 to 18,000 visitors. (The 2022 Oktoberfest raised over $700k for charity so this is an impactful local event.) The focus is, of course, on food (9 diverse food vendors) and drink (beer and wine tent). As a result, a considerable amount of waste is generated. Napleton’s sponsorship funded a contract for services with Collective Resource, a local compost collection cooperative, who provided crucial expertise in planning and in onsite guidance. Food vendors had been instructed to use compostable containers and flatware for serving. Even the beer cups were compostable! Volunteers, including Danny and his team, manned multiple waste stations to ensure that trash was properly deposited into the right bin – 1. Compost; 2. Recycling; or 3. Landfill. Collective Resource hauled away forty 32-gallon totes filled with organic compostable waste (total weight – 1080 lbs) which amounts to .54 tons of waste diverted away from the landfill and the recycling bin to be sustainably composted! Collective Resource has expressed that “for a first-time composting presence, this partnership resulted in a SIGNIFICANT amount of diverted waste with relatively seamless execution!”. In addition to sponsorship and dedicated energies contributed by Danny and his team, Napleton’s Palatine Subaru also provided promotional and instructional signage. The onsite operation was unexpected and appreciated among fest attendees, fostering recognition and good will for Napleton’s Palatine Subaru and the partner organizations. This inaugural venture has jumpstarted momentum for similar success at future public events. Palatine Cool Cities, (a grassroots, all volunteer organization, and a local chapter of Go Green Illinois) had been engaged with Napleton Subaru as sustainability partners for over a year when Danny Napleton embraced the opportunity to collaborate with PCC on Oktoberfest, the first ever undertaking in Palatine to manage a low-waste public event. Napleton’s Palatine Subaru and Danny share PCC’s mission to reduce the carbon footprint at the individual, community, and societal level by managing/reducing/preventing waste and directly reducing emissions. Danny’s personal involvement throughout the project was enthusiastic and genuinely supportive. His purpose to support an important local environmental cause was clear and unwavering. Danny’s good nature made the interactions with him comfortable and productive. We are looking forward to future collaborations! Palatine Rotary Club is a civic service organization founded in 1964 to support the people of Palatine and to promote international understanding and friendship. Napleton’s Palatine Subaru is listed among the sponsors of the 2023 Oktoberfest on the Club’s website (and was, of course in the list of sponsors onsite at the event). Additionally, and separately, Napleton’s Palatine Subaru is recognized on the Palatine Rotary Club website as an Oktoberfest sustainability partner. https://youtube.com/shorts/3zay6alq-4E?si=nL17axT-c5ghNzVk
As an Leukemia & Lymphoma Society employee, I had a wonderful time assisting in a donation drop off for the Subaru Love to Care® program. I arrived at the Illinois Cancer Specialist center in Arlington Heights and was greeted by two staff members. We then met with three Napleton’s Palatine Subaru employees. Both parties expressed how grateful they were to be involved with this mission and process. The Napleton’s Palatine Subaru employees were so gracious and helpful carrying all the care kits and blankets into the center. I got to capture some terrific photos of a doctor, two staff members, and Subaru employees at the drop off. We were lucky to have some time to speak to amazing staff members who shared with us why these Subaru donations are so impactful for patients. One of the staff members said “their [the patients] doing something; their fighting for their lives,” which is why receiving warm blankets and thoughtful cards provides so much positivity. Staff at the center also shared that as soon as they put the blankets out, they are always gone by the end of the day. It was great to hear that, along with them sharing that on top of Subaru’s donations, other people in the community pitch in and donate handmade hats, pillows, and more. It is very evident to me that the patients at this center are well-cared for and loved by so many in the community. We are so grateful for Napleton’s Palatine Subaru and the staff members who love to participate in this program year after year.
Second City Canine Rescue had a wonderful adoption event at Napleton's Palatine Subaru on June 3, 2023! We showed up with 13 dogs and a dozen volunteers and the awesome Napleton staff didn't break a sweat. They moved a few cars out of the showroom and gave us plenty of space to spread the dogs out. This care for our dog's (and our) comfort was so appreciated! Helped by Napleton's great setup and promotion, we found homes for nine dogs in three hours! Those nine dogs are now living their best lives with their new parents and we have room in our rescue to save more lives. Thank you to the entire staff at Napleton's Palatine Subaru and letting your dealership go to the dogs for the day!
Second City Canine Rescue recently received some much needed support from Danny Napleton and the awesome staff of Napleton's Palatine Subaru. At Second City Canine Rescue, we depend on a successful fundraising gala to pay for much of our life-saving mission throughout the year. Danny and the awesome staff cheerfully provided support for our gala which is helping SCCR save more dogs in 2023. We at SCCR are so excited to have Danny and everyone at Napleton's Palatine Subaru in our corner and can't wait for our summer adoption event at their dealership. Pictured is Half Pint and his foster brother; just one of hundreds of dogs helped by Napleton's Palatine Subaru's generosity.
We hosted our second annual golf outing this fall, and it was an incredible success, raising over $80,000 for our scholars! Many thanks to Subaru for serving as a sponsor and for participating on the course. Our scholars enjoyed cheering on the golfers and learning a bit more about the sport of golf. This event helps us to send scholars to and through college!
Napleton's Palatine Subaru sponsored the 2nd annual Golf Outing for the Chicago Collegiate Charter School in September of 2022. Chicago Collegiate Charter School is a high-performing open-enrollment school serving the Roseland community in Chicago.
In October of 2022, the dealership held a fundraising event for the Violet Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer. The effort included a donation per car sold and a donation per repair order, and generated over $10,000 donation from the dealership to the foundation. The foundation was established in honor of Violet Napleton, who passed away this year at 3 years old from a rare form of pediatric brain cancer DIPG. The foundation supports medical research as well as individual families through Lurie's Children's Hospital in Chicago.
This July, the Napleton Palatine Subaru team and myself had the pleasure of delivering 80 blankets and 25 arts & craft kits to the Illinois Cancer Specialists clinic in Arlington Heights, IL as part of Subaru’s Loves to Care program. Items of comfort like these show support and love to their cancer patients as they navigate their diagnosis and treatment journey. We were honored to be able to hand-deliver a blanket to Josephine, a current patient, and hope these blankets will provide for a brighter future for ICS patients. Many thanks to everyone at Napleton's Palatine Subaru for your continued support of LLS’s mission to cure blood cancers and improve the quality of life to patients and their families, and to the team at Illinois Cancer Specialists for all that you do for your patients!
We had an amazing year with Share the Love at Chicago Collegiate! The Palatine retailer raised $20,000 for our organization and we are so grateful. When we were back in person in the spring, we were even able to host the dealership owners and Subaru rep in person at our school so they could see the impact of their gift. They met our scholars, toured our Middle School building, and presented the check that would help us ensure our scholars achieve the futures they deserve. It was so special that they took the time to come out and visit us in addition to raising critical funds for us. Thank you, Subaru!
We are a small seasonal garden center located in Palatine. Every year when our season ends, we try to donate as many plants as we can at the end of the season to local non-profits. This year, our neighbor, Napleton's Palatine Subaru helped us go above and beyond. We were able to donate almost $10K worth of annuals, perennials and shrubs to several groups, including Habitat for Humanity, Partners for our Community, Little Sisters of the Poor & several local churches.
We are so thankful to Napleton's Arlington Heights Subaru for collecting donations for Wright-Way Rescue. We are a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter and we rely on the community members to help us continue our mission. It’s because of locals like the ones at Subaru that we are able to continue saving lives and make differences to these dogs and cats. We are so grateful, and we know the animals are, too!
Community. It is a place to belong. It is a place to give back. And on August 6, members of the Arlington Heights community gathered together at the Illinois Cancer Specialists office. Samantha and Mary Ann from Napleton’s Subaru Arlington Heights were all smiles as they arrived at the facility. They piled up boxes upon boxes, eager to get their donation inside to the awaiting patients. Once the boxes, containing 80 blankets, were inside, the two women were greeted by the kind staff of Illinois Cancer Specialists. Together, the group set up a display of boxes and blankets, handing them out to a few patients as they left their appointments. Each patients’ face lit up as they were handed the gift – as did the faces of Sam and Mary Ann. Pleasantries were exchanged, stories shared, and connections were formed. It was a great day for all who attended. LLS is proud to partner with Subaru to spread hope, love and warmth to those fighting cancer, across the country and right here in the Arlington Heights community.
We have planted the 18 plants we received from the contest award in one of 3 Native Landscape plots that we have on campus, where it can be assimilated with our other native species, and is visible to all students who enter the east entrance of the campus..

Wright-Way Rescue was kind enough to team up with us for our Subaru Loves Pets month! We created goodie bags for every dog that got adopted. There was even a Subaru dog collar for each dog! We want to give a huge thank you to those that even came by to drop off donations from Wright-Way Rescue's wish list. Since the event almost all of the dogs have found their forever home! It was a great event!
