Autobarn Subaru supports LaGrange Pet Parade Charities. - Molly P
On behalf of the La Grange Pet Parade Planning Committee, thank you Autobarn Subaru for your generous support of the 80th Anniversary La Grange Pet Parade. Reaching this remarkable milestone was an exciting achievement, and it would not have been possible without partners like you. For 80 years, Pet Parade Charities has been committed to bringing neighbors, families, and friends together to celebrate the special bond between people, their pets, and our community. Your sponsorship helped make this year's celebration a memorable success and ensured that this cherished tradition continues for future generations. While the Parade itself lasts only a few hours, it represents months of planning, coordination, and the dedication of countless volunteers. The 80th Anniversary Parade was a wonderful celebration of community spirit, tradition, and the many individuals whose passion has kept this beloved event thriving for eight decades. Pet Parade Charities gives back by giving grants to area pet non-profits and hiring many acts that are themselves non-profits to entertain the crowds, such as the Jesse White Tumblers, South Shore Drill Team and Shriners groups. Even payments to team mascots such as Tommy Hawk of the Blackhawks are raised for the Blackhawks Foundation that gives to Chicagoland families. Thank you for believing in the mission of the La Grange Pet Parade and for investing in an event that brings so much joy to our community. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and look forward to celebrating with you again in the years ahead.
Autobarn Subaru Supports Make-A-Wish Illinois - Carly F
THANK YOU, AUTOBARN SUBARU! For years, The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside has demonstrated what it truly means to be a community partner. Through Subaru's Share the Love Event, the dealership has continued to support Make-A-Wish Illinois, helping bring hope, strength, and joy to children facing critical illnesses across our state. This year's campaign culminated in an extraordinary celebration as the Autobarn team presented Make-A-Wish Illinois with a donation of $42,478. The event served as a meaningful reminder of how a community's generosity can make a lasting difference for local wish families. To celebrate the occasion, Richard, Junior, Gina, and the Autobarn team welcomed wish alum, Riley, and his family for a special lunch, which took place a few weeks after Riley returned from his wish trip. During the event, Riley's mom, Lauren, shared their story and reflected on the profound impact that community support has had throughout their journey. She shared, "We are so grateful for companies like Subaru who makes wishes like Riley's come true.". The impact of The Autobarn Subaru team extends far beyond a dollar amount. Their commitment to supporting local wish families and creating moments of joy embodies the very spirit of the Subaru Love Promise! We are incredibly grateful for The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside and its employees for their continued partnership, unwavering generosity, and dedication to helping make wishes come true.

Someone sees you, and someone cares - Subaru AutoBarn Countryside - Erin M
We are grateful to The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside for their continued support of BEDS Plus through the Subaru Loves to Help® annual coat donation program- Operation Warm. Each year, 100s of brand-new coats go directly to the families and children we serve—those staying in shelter, newly housed, or participating in one of our many housing programs. As temperatures drop to dangerous levels, something as simple as a warm coat becomes essential. But it's also more than that—it sends a powerful message to families who are struggling: someone sees you, and someone cares. For many of the children we serve, outgrowing a coat can happen quickly, and replacing it is often not financially possible. Subaru's generosity helps ensure that kids don't have to face winter without protection, comfort, and dignity. The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside is a great illustration of how local businesses can partner with us to support our most vulnerable neighbors in meaningful, practical ways. We're also grateful to have them as a sponsor of our Soup & Bread event, further strengthening their commitment to the individuals and families we assist. Thank you, Subaru, for standing with BEDS Plus and for helping our families weather the cold—both literally and figuratively.
Make-A-Wish Illinois Walk For Wishes - John G
Autobarn Subaru Employees showed their amazing support for Make-A-Wish Illinois and Wish Kids throughout the state when they attended Walk for Wishes on a chilly fall morning. Walk attendees had the opportunity to hear the experiences from Emily, a wish recipient - and how an unexpected cancer diagnosis interrupted and completely changed their high school experience. Despite this, their love for music and performance provided avenues for joy and hope, ultimately culminating in a chance for them to meet their favorite artist through Make-A-Wish. Walk for Wishes is one of Make-A-Wish Illinois' signature events, and parters like Autobarn Subaru have continued to make these events such a success. We can't thank you all enough for your amazing contributions, participation, and for your thoughtful additions to make this event a special moment of reflection and celebration for Wish Families and Wish Makers.
