Camp Fowler Golf Outing - Josey B
We are so grateful to Capitaland Subaru for supporting Camp Fowler's annual golf outing that helps send regional youth to summer camp! At Camp Fowler, we believe all young people deserve to encounter the life changing experience a week at summer camp can offer. During a week at Camp Fowler, children and young adults grow in their resilience, explore the natural world, face and overcome challenges, and enjoy a week entirely without screens or devices. This type of experience can be transformational for a young person. Our annual golf outing is an important annual fundraiser for Camp Fowler - with the support of Capitaland Subaru and other sponsors, we raised important funds that will help ensure that every child who wants to come to camp, can. Thank you Capitaland Subaru!

Spina Bifida Walk-N-Roll - Julia D
Thank you Capitaland Subaru for your support of the 16th annual Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida that took place at Central Park in Schenectady on 5/17/2026. Spina Bifida is a birth defect occurring in the first month of pregnancy was the spinal column does not close or form properly. Spina Bifida affects 4,000 New Yorkers who experience a range of healthcare challenges including paralysis, incontinence, and executive dysfunction. Those we serve also face societal challenges navigating services, accessing quality care and equitable opportunities. What makes these challenges easier? COMMUNITY! Opportunities to connect with other peers who have lived experienced is critical to the overall health and quality of life for those affected by Spina Bifida. The Schenectady Walk-N-Roll is one of our longest standing community events bringing together hundreds of friends from the Spina Bifida community. By sponsoring this event, Capitaland Subaru helps offset the expenses and ensure all funds raised are directly supporting individuals living with Spina Bifida. Thank you for making a difference!
Moo Moo Subaru! - kayleigh p
We're excited to share Capitaland Subaru's Moo Moo Subaru Movement, a fun, community-driven fundraiser supporting the Animal Protective Foundation in Glenville, NY. Inspired by Subaru owners spreading kindness, we're selling rubber cows for $3 each, with 100% of proceeds donated. Customers and staff use the cows to spark smiles and conversations while raising awareness for shelter pets. It's been a great way to engage our community, celebrate Subaru owners, and bring the Subaru Love Promise to life locally. We're proud to support animals in need—one "moo" at a time!
Building on Love - Jeffrey Y
Building on Love is a Capital Region nonprofit that provides short-term financial assistance to families caring for a child facing a life-threatening medical diagnosis. When a child is admitted to Albany Medical Center's Bernard & Millie Duker Children's Hospital, life changes overnight. Parents often stop working to remain at the bedside. Mortgage payments, car loans, insurance bills, and utilities do not stop. In 2025 alone, Building on Love supported over 30 families across the Capital Region with grants averaging approximately $4,800 per household — helping prevent a medical crisis from becoming a financial crisis. We are grateful for Subaru's Share the Love® Campaign as it makes meaningful difference throughout our community. It can help keep a family's car on the road, the lights on at home, or groceries on the table — allowing parents to focus on what matters most: their child's health. Together, we can truly share the love with families in the Capital Region when they need it most.
Capitaland Subaru Supports Vanderheyden Job Training & Housing for Special Needs Youth - Jennifer M
Every kid deserves a chance for a happy future - and Capitaland Subaru is helping Vanderheyden make that happen! We are helping kids who have struggled with challenges no child should have to deal with. They have faced trauma, family homelessness, mental illness, and intellectual or developmental disabilities. Many are unable to live with their families and unable to be placed in foster care. This makes the transition from high school to adulthood especially difficult, with no family to offer support and guidance. This is why we have created Vanderheyden 5 C's to Career Choices. Through this program, our middle and high school students get the opportunity to try up to five career possibilities: Culinary, Cleaning, Clothes, Cars, and Cookies - and we soon hope to add training in Cosmetology! For Culinary, students learn how to work in a professional kitchen. They create menus, prepare food, order supplies, and maintain kitchen hygiene. For Cleaning, students work with Vanderheyden's maintenance crew to learn custodial duties. For Clothes, our students work at The Vandy Thrift Shoppe to learn all aspects of retail – sorting items, displaying them, customer service and working the register. For Cars, our students receive training in professional car cleaning. And for Cookies, we have our Cookie Jar Bakery, where students develop recipes, maintain inventory, and bake, market and sell baked goods. Our program includes job coaches who help the students get comfortable with professional interactions, both with customers and colleagues. They are educated in providing the intensive, one-on-one training that our students need when learning new skills and equipment. We also provide safe, welcoming cottages to our students who are unable to live at home or in foster care. We are proud to partner with Capitaland Subaru on our 5 C's program and our cottages. Together, we are giving young people facing difficult circumstances a comfortable place to live and helping them graduate with employable skills and job experience. Their future is looking bright!
