On Saturday January 27, 2024 Casey Subaru staff went to deliver shoes, socks, and coats to Four Oaks Day Shelter for Operation Warm. It gives us so much joy to be able to help the community with the help of Subaru. We have created such a good relationship with our friends at Four Oaks Day Shelter that we are willing to help them at any time of the year! Subaru has given us so many opportunities to help our communities and we are thankful!
On July 24th 2023, Casey Subaru donated a bike, sleeping bags, socks, blankets, backpacks, drawstring bags, and more to the Four Oaks Day Service and Training center. The Four Oaks Day Service and Training Center helps transition people out of homelessness into employment and stable housing. The organization has a “Bike Back to Work” program that is a great incentive for our homeless clients to gain employment. The brand new bike Casey Subaru donated will be a great addition to this program and help many of the Four Oaks clients! Additionally, Casey Subaru gave a lending hand in February 2023 by sending some of their technicians to help fix some of the bikes that the community donated to The Four Oaks Day Service and Training center. This act of service provided the Four Oaks homeless clients working and usable bikes to travel to employment!
Casey Subaru was a proud sponsor to the Heritage Humane Society “Paws in The Air” benefit in September 2023. What an amazing start to our Subaru Loves Pets month! Casey Subaru had a fantastic time at the event, where we had the pleasure of giving away Subaru of America dog gifts and Casey Subaru merchandise. It was heartwarming to see the joy on our furry friends face with their new “Chewbaru”! All proceeds from this event benefitted the McDuff Endowment Fund which provides a safety net for the medical needs of homeless pets at HHS.
Casey Subaru donated $12,500 to Saunders Elementary to provide needed school supplies for their students for this upcoming school year. This monetary contribution represents Casey Subaru’s commitment to Subaru Loves Learning and Saunders Elementary. Casey Subaru held an incredible luncheon for the teachers and staff at Saunders Elementary as a huge thank you for their commitment to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for the kids of our community.
On July 13, 2023, Casey Subaru staff donated blankets and patient care kits to Riverside Cancer Center. It was such a rewarding experience! The patients and Riverside staff were so appreciative! It is so great to work for a company that gives back! #SubaruLovesToCare
Our Canine Companion’s Puppy in Training, named Wednesday IV, must wonder sometimes “Where are we off to today, Mom?” My job as a Canine Companions Volunteer Puppy Raiser is to teach her basic skils and socialize her in the community. That means she goes with me just about everywhere! Last month, in May 2023, Wednesday and I visited Casey Subaru in Newport News, VA. Our mission was two-fold, to check out the new Ascent model (gotta see all the safety features and the ease of jumping in!) AND to talk to the Casey Team about the “Luke Day - Gone to the Dogs” Fundraiser. (asking if Casey Subaru would be interested in being a Sponsor to the event being hosted by NextHome Coast to Country, benefitting the Canine Companions organization.) The Ascent met all of Wednesday’s expectations - being part of a 3 generation family (Puppy Raising grandparents, very busy on the go parents and grandkids who love dogs!) it needed to accommodate car seats, kennels, coolers, tents, geraniums and be a safe ride! Mikaela introduced us to a very nice sales staff member who treated us to a full demonstration of the car! It received Wednesday’s vote! (And mine!) Part two of Wednesday’s visit was to share her Canine Companions story. From birth, this special puppy is part of the largest Service Dog organization in the USA. ( www.canine.org ) Canine Companions places highly skilled, trained Service Dogs with adults, children and Veterans with disabilities - at no charge to the recipient. It takes a lot of volunteer hours and substantial donations to the Organization to bring healthy puppies from birth, through training, to matching with a recipient and to support the Service DogTeams through their years together. Casey Subaru, and Casey Auto Group, rose to the opportunity to support the local event, “Luke Day”. AND they have asked to continue to support puppies like Wednesday IV, to enable people with disabilities to have greater independence with the help of Canine Companion Service Dogs. We can’t express how much this means to the local volunteers with Canine Companions and all the Next Home Coast to Country Real Estate folks who planned “Luke Day”. Good job, Casey Subaru! And thank you to Sherry Grant and Casey Auto Group for the kind response!
Puppy Love! That's how the life of a Canine Companion's Service Dog begins. From there it grows exponentially! NextHome Coast to Country Real Estate, organized a fundraising event, GONE TO THE DOGS, to benefit Canine Companions, the NextHome Corporate’s charity of choice and our way to celebrate Luke Day, (our mascot’s birthday) June 15. Canine Companions (https://www.canine.org) is a non-profit organization which provides highly trained Service Dogs to adults, children and Veterans with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. The Canine Companion puppies are raised by volunteers until they are about 16 months old. Professional trainers continue the training until the puppy is matched with a human partner at about 2 years of age. Throughout the lifetime of the Service Dog, Canine Companions continues to support and provide additional training when needed. All of this is done at no cost to the recipient. This makes donations and fundraising extremely important. We were fortunate to work with many volunteers from the Old Dominion Volunteer Chapter of Canine Companions in Virginia. They provided speakers and puppies for us to pet. In addition, I would like to thank Brent and Becky’s Daffodil Farm for the venue, Pet Zone, Water Pro Inc, Casey Subaru, Williams Landscape and Design, Chesapeake Bank, Parkway Printing and Shore Bites for their support. And the love continues.
Casey Subaru had a very successful pet adoption event with the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter! 93.7 BOBFM did an amazing job helping us, and we had pet starter kits for everyone who adopted a new friend. We were able to help 20 dogs and cats find their furever homes. Thank you to everyone who came out!
Casey Subaru celebrated the large donation of over $150,000 in direct benefits to PRAS accumulated over the last five years of partnership between Casey Subaru and Subaru of America and the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter. Casey Subaru wanted to celebrate the PRAS staff for all of their hard work and the help they do for the animals. The check amount donated that day was for $32,000 that Casey Subaru and Subaru of America allocated in funds for the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter during the Subaru Share the Love® Event. The speeches included the Roger, the Animal shelter director, Travis, the Casey Subaru general manager, and Mr. Casey, the Casey Auto Group president. They talked about how the donation money was used to help animals that are in need of extra care before they can be considered for adoption and placed towards a better life. The mayor also discussed how PRAS is a huge part of the Newport News community and how he and Casey Subaru is grateful for everything the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter does. Nosh food truck made delicious food, Jeff's flowers provided wonderful flower arrangements, and there was a beautiful candy station in addition to decorative Subaru and PRAS cookies. Mr. Casey, the Mayor and vice Mayor of Newport News, other city council members, Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter staff including Roger, Casey Subaru staff including Travis Wynn, Casey auto marketing staff, Radio and TV personnel attended the event to celebrate the amazing donation and staff.
With the help of our customers and employees, we were able to fill the back of an Outback (seats folded down!) with tons of toys to donate to Hampton Roads Toys for Tots! Even more toys were donated after this photo was taken. During the month of November we were also accepting monetary donations in our service drive. We thank everyone who took the time out of their day to stop by and donate to this amazing cause!
Subaru recently hosted a pet photo contest nationally, so Casey Subaru decided to go one step further. For all of the entries we received for this contest, we decided to choose our own winner as well. This winner won $500 for themselves as well as a $500 donation made by Casey Subaru on the winner's behalf. The winner Finn and her owner Ashley can be seen in the photo alongside the GM Travis Wynn, the Shelter Manager Roger Iles, and Adoption Coordinator Krista Smith. As of this post, the beautiful terrier mix named Joker who is amazing with kids and other pets is available for adoption!
Thanks to our partners at Casey Subaru, the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter was able to host our 4th annual “Subaru Loves Pets” event on October 23, 2022. Sherry Grant, Marketing Director for Casey Subaru, went a step further with Casey Subaru donating an additional $1000 to cover adoptions for the day! With swag bags filled to the top with pet friendly goodies, good music and lots of pets looking for their forever homes, the day was bound to be a smashing success! Many citizens came in to meet and mingle with our adoptable animals and by the end of the event, the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter and Casey Subaru were able to find 22 animals their forever homes! One of the pets that found her forever home was Kenzy, a 5-year-old Black Labrador Retriever mix. Kenzy was surrendered to the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter when her owner’s found that they were lacking the time to properly care for her. We took Kenzy in and made it our mission to find her a new, forever home. While in our care, Kenzy began showing some medical issues. Upon further review of her owner surrender profile, staff learned that she’d had issues with urinary tract infections in the past. With this information, our vet team got right to work. Kenzy was x-rayed and the source of her ailment was immediately identified. Kenzy was suffering from a very large bladder stone! Surgery was quickly performed to remove the stone. The stone, once removed, weighed in at approximately 111 grams and was approximately 6cm x 5cm. Kenzy was closely monitored during her healing process and she came through like a champ! Kenzy made her way to the adoption floor on October 23, 2022 and it didn’t take long before her new family found her! Kenzy is settling in nicely with her new family; bonding and creating new memories every day! Thanks to partnerships like Casey Subaru and the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter, animals find their forever homes every day! We thank Casey Subaru and all Subaru retailers for allowing us to participate in “Subaru Loves Pets” October 2022.
On the weekend of National Make a Dog's Day, Casey Subaru was able to host another successful adoption event at the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter. We sponsored 22 adoptions that day, helping 16 cats and 6 dogs find their furever home. Each adoptee also received a new pet care package from us.
Yesterday, Casey Subaru dropped off their Subaru Loves Learning campaign donation to Saunders Elementary School in Newport News, VA. Casey Subaru was able to provide planter boxes filled with school supplies from Subaru of America, Inc. to ten classes. In addition, 13 more boxes filled with thousands of items from backpacks to boxes of crayons were delivered to these smiling faces!
Casey Subaru along with the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter of Newport News hosted yet another successful adoption event! Over the adoption weekend, with the help of Tiffany Webb, Roger Iles and the PRAS team, we found new homes for over 8 shelter animals and helped many more receive lifechanging medical care. Year after year, Casey Subaru's commitment to the community and to programs such as PRAS grows stronger, making them a true pillar in the community. #Subarulovespets

I ordered a car from them a couple months ago after deciding which options are right for my Forester. It took a while to come in but I understood. Our salesman, Caleb, kept us up to date throughout the entire process. The month my car was scheduled to arrive I had a scary unexpected problem. Somehow my retina became detached. By far the worst thing to happen to me in recent history. The day I had my surgery Caleb called us and told us our car was here. I was shocked! Due to my situation we had to wait a week or so to go pick up the car. The dealership and Caleb were both very understanding of the entire situation and were willing to hold the vehicle for us! We ended up completing the paperwork on the same day I had a follow up appointment with my doctor. Unfortunately, I couldn't drive my new car home that night due to my injury. Caleb and the entire staff were so nice and understanding! They were able to drive the car to my house! We plan on going on a trip to visit some family next month and we are very excited to take our new car! Thank you Casey Subaru, especially Caleb and the managers for helping me and getting me the exact Forester I wanted.
Through the months of December 2021 and January 2022, Casey Subaru is collecting canned goods for the Peninsula Foodbank. Our service advisors are also collecting monetary donations in our service lane. Casey will be matching all monetary donations!

TOYS FOR TOTS was our charity focus for November and stuffing the Subaru was such a joy! Casey matched all monetary donations! We want to thank all of the customers, as well as the employees, who participated this year. We thrilled that we could do our part to help children in our community have an excellent Christmas.
Casey Subaru has been a phenomenal sponsor and supporter for PRAS. This year has been a hard year for PRAS with the pandemic so when we have opportunities to have such big adoption promotions such as this year’s Make a Dogs Day Campaign our staff and volunteers get very excited. Loki pictured below was a longtime resident in our care. A misunderstood American pitbull terrier with a lot of energy and love to give. He was getting overlooked many times because his energy didn’t give him the best kennel presence. With MADD just around the corner and the excitement with the commercials and radio advertisements highlighting our amazing adoptable dogs our volunteers knew exactly what would put the ice cream on this event. Literally! I don’t know if Loki’s family would have come searching for him that day or would have felt so motivated to adopt if it wasn’t for the amazing support of Casey bringing awareness to shelter underdogs and without the willingness of our volunteers to showcase them. We are so thankful for Casey and their ability to support our shelter not only with amazing adoption promotions such as this but lives we are able to save medically through Share the Love. We are an open admission shelter, one of the largest in our area, and being able to give animals more medical support through this donation is really helping to share the love we have for our animals.

Tinkerbell came to our shelter as a stray with severe injuries to her rear leg. Her original intake date was the middle of July and was not officially adopted until 10/07/2020. It is always sad when any dog comes in injured but especially one at such a young age that has not even had a chance to enjoy the finer things of puppyhood. Tinkerbell had to miss out on most of that as our team worked to get her the best medical care we could. A huge thanks to our local retailer Casey Subaru who we have a Casey Cares medical fund account that supported all of the financial burden for her care. This life saving partnership allowed us to take all the appropriate medical steps for Tinkerbell as we worked to try to save her leg. Ultimately the end result was amputation; however, Tinkerbell is more than satisfied with that. She is living it large with an amazing adopter who sends regular updates to her foster of how much fun Tinkerbell is having.
During the month of November, Casey Subaru collected new, unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots. Thank you to everyone who donated and added toys to our Subaru Outback display in our showroom. Your donations will help provided new toys to families in need on the Peninsula this holiday season.
Participating in the Subaru Loves to Help Event has always been a yearly tradition at Casey Subaru, and this year was no exception.

We are proud to once again be a Flagship Sponsor for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of the Peninsula Event.

Every dollar counts towards finding a cure, and helping those in their fight against breast cancer.

On July 9th, the LLS Virginia Chapter and Casey Subaru had the pleasure of delivering 80 blankets to Riverside Cancer Center as part of the Subaru Loves To Care program. These comforting gifts were accompanied by personalized messages of hope written by the customers and staff of Casey Subaru. This incredible act of generosity was warmly received by the Riverside Cancer Center staff who were thrilled to distribute these comforting gifts to their patients. 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 Newport News, Virginia community. Many thanks to everyone at Casey Subaru and Riverside Cancer Center, not only for a memorable day, but for supporting LLS’s mission to cure blood cancers and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
Partnering with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), Casey Subaru continues to deliver warmth in more way than 1 year after year. It may be the middle of July and about 100 degrees in Newport News, but inside the Riverside Cancer Care Center, you’d never know. Patients were overjoyed to receive warm blankets from our staff members and appeared as though they were just as ecstatic to be delivering warm blankets as well as a kind smile.
Ed Colton, our Subaru Service Manager, participated in a golf tournament benefiting RELAY FOR LIFE in July 2019. Ed, along with his fellow teammates, played in the brutal summer heat for a fantastic cause and enjoyed every second!
In April 2019, Casey Subaru hosted a Subaru Loves Pets Adoption Event! We were able to stuff a Subaru full of pets supplies for our local SPCA here in Newport News!
Travis, I want to thank you for helping us get in a Subaru Forester this weekend. The experience was very pleasant and resulted in making me a customer for life. Your sales team went to great lengths to make sure we understood prices, car features, and maintenance plans. After we had been looking for several hours and appeared to reach an impasse due to the orange trim in the Sport Model, the sales manager (Terry, I think) worked out a trade deal with a dealership in Virginia Beach to get a model and color scheme that did not offend the wife’s sense of style. Then Felix spent an hour and a half as he went over and picked it up. While we waited, another team member took me out to pick-up dinner. Even though the dealership was closed, Felix spent an hour getting the car ready and going through the software features of the new model and the staff stayed to complete the transaction. In the end, we got a fair trade for our 2014 Forester, had a coupon from corporate Subaru for our trouble, and left with a car that I am sure will provide us years of good service and a CVT backed by Casey for the life of the vehicle. We came in feeling frustrated like we had not gotten the expected value from our 2014 Subaru but left 7 hours later feeling happy and like we received a good deal for being loyal customers. Many thanks to all involved and congratulations on instilling the value of customer service up and down your team so deeply. Cheers! Bob & Betty Ann Galway
Ed Colton, our Subaru Service Manager, and his team participated in the 2019 Polar Plunge in VA Beach. Ed and his team raised $14,000 for the Champions of Special Olympics Virginia. The Festival, with its 3,498 participants, raised over $1.23 million for Special Olympics Virginia. Congratulations to Ed and his team! We are so proud of you and your support of this phenomenal cause!
The Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter has partnered with Casey Subaru for the Subaru Loves Pets campaign. To kick off this event, Casey Subaru hosted an on-site adoption event at their dealership. Goodies for both people and animals were provided, a wheel to spin and fantastic prizes were just a few of the ways Casey Subaru made the event fun. Radio station 93.7 BOB FX ran a few Facebook live videos helping to promote the shelter and the animals we brought. Thanks to everyone's collaboration we were able to adopt 2 of our shelter pets that were brought to the event. Many more were adopted that day from the shelter due to the publicity from the Subaru event!
Casey Subaru sponsored the the YVCHR's Tuff Enuf 5k Obstacle Run on October 20th which took place at Mariner's Museum Park in Newport News. The event featured three races miles of fun obstacle courses and challenges. Although the rain had a slight impact on participation, there was still a great turnout!
Ed Colton (Service Manager) and some other Casey Subaru employees teamed up to participate in Saint Mary's Star of the Sea school in Hampton. The annual golf tournament helps raise funds for the school's programs. Once again, Casey teams up to support the local community!
Partnering with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), it is clear from the letters to patients to the full table set up you see from the moment you walk into Casey Subaru, the message is loud and clear that Subaru does, in fact, love to care. As true as this statement may be I don’t think the staff at Casey Subaru knew exactly what impact their caring was about to have. When you walk into Riverside Cancer Care Center you almost forget that it’s a place to go for treatment of a terrible disease. But upon entering the outpatient treatment floor you quickly see what is happening there on a daily basis. Almost everyone you see is hooked up to a machine and wearing warm clothes and a head covering. It may be the middle of July but inside you’d never know. We go into the room where a woman the staff calls “The Subaru Lady” is. She knows that LLS and Subaru have partnered but has no idea what to expect. All she mentions is how much she loves her Subaru. When Travis and Cam, our Subaru representatives, walked into The Subaru Lady’s room no one was prepared for the radiant joy that showed throughout her face. She was so excited and couldn’t believe that someone was taking the time to do such a thoughtful thing for her. Her giddy grin only grew as she read the card handwritten from a Subaru customer. To know that in that moment this woman wasn’t fighting for her life but enjoying a sweet gift from a stranger was just a beautiful moment to behold and one of the reasons that we are reminded every day that we are the ones in fact receiving gifts.
Casey Subaru was proud to support the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia through our Cookout For The Troops Event on Saturday the 21st. This event was held at Casey Subaru where military families were offered free food and beverages as a small gesture of our appreciation of their service and sacrifice. Others were asked to provide a small donation to enjoy a meal. For every test drive taken that day, Casey Subaru donated $25 to the USO. We were able to raise over $3,500 for the USO. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a success!
Several members of our Casey Subaru Team, including Service Manager Ed Colton and CEO Doug Lia, joined forces again this year for the ET's Beacon of Hope Golf Tournament at the Woodland's Golf Course in Hampton. For 7 years, this group, representing Casey Subaru, has played to support American Cancer Society Relay For Life Fundraiser in honor of Eddie Trevathan. This year, 2018, the tournament was able to raise $14,000! Thank you to all Casey employees who participated for taking the time to support such a fantastic cause!

"In my long experience, pledges of customer satisfaction are often empty and meaningless. Not so with Casey VW-Subaru...You've treated me like a valued customer, answered all of my questions with patience, and offered quality loaners when needed." He then went on to say, "a huge thanks to John (Reese) and the technicians for taking the problem as seriously as I did, and then fixing it. For me, it was the biggest test to date of a true commitment to customer satisfaction, and Casey passed with flying colors." This gentleman has been a loyal Casey Subaru customer for over two years now and would also like to thank Travis Wynn, Tish Perkins and Jeff Motley for treating him with the same respect and patience during other visits. Thank you for your patronage and thank you to Casey Subaru employees who always strive to provide a great customer experience!

Casey Subaru loves sponsoring this event yearly as it brings the community together for a fun event surrounded by adorable pets of all kinds!
Casey Subaru sponsored the Game Day 10K which took place in City Center in Newport News. The event featured three races, the 10K, the 5K and the Fun Run. There were almost 1,000 participants and even more spectators! This is a popular event within the Newport News community that many look forward to and would not be possible without the help of its sponsors.
A few members from the Casey Subaru team joined forces for the ET's Beacon of Hope Golf Tournament at the Woodland's Golf Course in Hampton. For 6 years, this group, representing Casey Subaru, has played to support American Cancer Society Relay For Life Fundraiser in honor of Eddie Trevathan. The Casey participants pictured are Ed Colton (Casey Subaru Service Manager), Doug Lia (CFO), Chip Edwards and Paul Townsend. Thank you gentlemen for taking the time to support such a worthy cause!
Casey Subaru was proud to support the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia through our Cookout For The Troops Event. This event was held at Casey Subaru where military families were offered free food and beverages as a small gesture of our appreciation of their service. Others were asked to provide a small donation to enjoy a meal. We were able to raise over $2,500 for the USO in just a few short hours. Thank you to everyone who participated and thank you to Casey Subaru employees for all of your hard work!
Ed Colton (Casey Subaru Service Manager) and his wife Julie Colton (Casey Auto Group Accounting) have participated in the Virginia Beach Polar Plunge for the last 6 years, and this year was no exception! With temperatures in the mid 30's, the plunge was still able to bring in over 4,800 plungers. The Virginia Plunge Events specifically raise money to support the Special Olympics. Ed and Julie participate each year as part of the Buckroe Beach Bums Team. This year, they were able to raise over $10,000 through fundraisers and donations, of which Casey Subaru was a participant. They plan to participate in this event for many years to come!
Casey Subaru would like to thank all of those who donated pet items and pet food at our Stuff The Subaru Event! Casey Subaru organized a donation drop off location and event for the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter in Newport News. They are currently the largest animal intake in Virginia, serving Newport News, Hampton, York County and Poquoson. They greatly appreciated the donation!
We have taken one of our enclosed outdoor areas and turning into a schoolyard habitat. We have developed a bio-retention area where the water drains naturally to prevent flooding and control runoff. We have added a 3-rain barrel configuration that was built by our tech ed students. It will store rainwater to reduce runoff and the water will be recycled for the plants. We will be adding regional plants donated by grants from Casey Subaru and Countryside Gardens. Our goals is to incorporate local vegetation that will attract birds and butterflies during the school year and require minimal upkeep over the summers. We are very excited about the installation and can't wait to see what it becomes.
Did Casey Subaru go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
