Grand Subaru Celebrates 10 Years of Caring Through the Subaru Loves to Care® Initiative

A Decade of Compassion, Comfort, and Community at the Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center

For the past ten years, Grand Subaru has proudly partnered with the Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center at Elmhurst Hospital through the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative—bringing comfort, kindness, and hope to patients undergoing cancer treatment while recognizing the incredible healthcare professionals who care for them every day.

What began as a shared commitment to making a difference has grown into a meaningful tradition that reflects what Grand Subaru stands for: being More Than a Dealership.

A Decade of Making a Difference

This year's Subaru Loves to Care® event marked Grand Subaru's 10th consecutive year partnering with the Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center and Blood Cancer United to brighten the lives of local cancer patients and the staff who support them.

Together, Grand Subaru delivered:

• 80 warm blankets to provide comfort during treatments
• Patient care kits filled with thoughtful essentials
• Gift bags for patients and the dedicated oncology staff
• Breakfast for the cancer center team as a small token of appreciation for their compassion and commitment

While these donations may seem simple, their impact reaches far beyond the items themselves. A warm blanket, a thoughtful care package, or a heartfelt conversation can provide comfort during some of life's most difficult moments.

Supporting Patients Beyond the Showroom

At Grand Subaru, community involvement isn't just something we do—it's part of who we are.

Through Subaru Loves to Care®, we're reminded each year that serving our community extends well beyond helping customers find their next vehicle. It's about standing beside our neighbors during life's toughest challenges and supporting the organizations that make an incredible difference every single day.

Our partnership with the Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center and Blood Cancer United represents the very heart of the Subaru Love Promise®—showing love, compassion, and support where it's needed most.

A Partnership That Continues to Grow

Reaching ten years together is a milestone we're incredibly proud of.

Over the past decade, we've had the privilege of meeting inspiring patients, dedicated caregivers, and passionate healthcare professionals whose strength and compassion continue to motivate our team.

Every visit reminds us that even small acts of kindness can create lasting moments of comfort and hope.
