Subaru Loves Learning: Jonas E. Salk Elementary - Nicholas P
Zeigler Subaru Schererville, On behalf of the students, staff, and administration of Jonas E. Salk Elementary School, we extend our most sincere gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of $7,500 for classroom supplies. This support, which directly benefited fifteen of our most dedicated teachers, and was an extraordinary surprise to them. The impact of this gift is immediate and substantial. During a recent teacher meeting, our teachers were surprised with the funds, translating to $500 per teacher to purchase essential learning materials. Beyond the monetary contribution, the accompanying supply kits, filled with items like crayons, pencils, and wipes, further demonstrated your commitment to our school. This donation is critical in helping our teachers manage the rising costs associated with equipping classroom. By providing these funds, you are directly helping to offset the significant out-of-pocket expenses that our educators often incur annually. Our teachers have already highlighted that the funds will be used strategically to meet specific student needs, including the purchase of dry-erase boards, markers, and manipulatives necessary for enhancing collaborative learning stations. We deeply appreciate your ongoing partnership and Zeigler Subaru’s steadfast commitment to our school, staff, and students. Your actions underscore a true dedication to education and serve as a powerful example of how community engagement can directly benefit student success. We look forward to continuing this valuable relationship in the years to come. Sincerely, Nicholas Petralia Principal Jonas E. Salk Elementary

Love in Every Drop - Dylan M
I recently took part in a blood drive hosted by my local Subaru retailer, and it was such a rewarding experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff made everything easy and welcoming. It was clear they truly cared about making a difference. What stood out most was how many people showed up—employees, customers, even walk-ins from the community. Everyone was there for one simple reason: to help others. It reminded me how powerful small acts of kindness can be, and how much good can come from businesses that care. This is what the Subaru Love Promise looks like in action.

Beach Cleanup - Joyce R
I spent my Sunday morning at a beach cleanup hosted by Ziegler Subaru of Schererville, and I have to say - it was such a great experience. It felt good to give back, meet some awesome people, and do a little something real for the environment. We picked up a ton of trash (who knew there'd be that many bottle caps?!), and by the end, the beach looked so much better. I've always loved that Subaru talks about caring for the Earth, but seeing it in action like this made it feel even more genuine. It wasn't about selling cars - it was about showing up for the community. I'm really glad I was a part of the cleanup.
