Love Promise Stories from Freehold Subaru
Subaru and Freehold Subaru believe in making a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work. We uphold that belief through our Love Promise Community Commitment. Every month, we select inspiring stories from customers and partners from around our area who strive to support our collective commitment and feature them here
Wag On Inn Success Stories! - Jeanne D
On October 26, 2025, Freehold Subaru and Wag On Inn Rescue teamed up once again for an incredible Subaru Loves Pets adoption event. Over the past five years, this partnership has helped countless dogs find their forever homes—and the impact goes far beyond adoption day. The generous financial support from Freehold Subaru has been vital to our lifesaving work. Their donations help cover transport costs, provide professional training for our dogs, and ensure animals receive the medical care they need to thrive. Every dog and cat adopted through Wag On Inn Rescue receives essential veterinary care, including spay/neuter surgery and microchipping. We also address additional medical needs such as dental care, heartworm treatment, short- and long-term medications, and surgeries when required. Two recipients of last year's Subaru donation are Apple and Nix. Apple is a one-year-old Chihuahua mix who came to us last year from the NYC shelter system severely ill. Diagnosed with pneumonia, Apple required specialized treatment and a hospital stay. Thanks to Subaru's support, she received the care she needed, made a full recovery, and ultimately found her forever home. Nix came to us from a North Carolina shelter as a 3 month old energetic pup. This active boy is full of personality and love, but needed some help with manners. Thanks to Subaru's support, Nix was able to attend a board and train program where he learned to be his best self. Partnerships like this truly save lives, and we are deeply grateful to Steve Boyce and his amazing team at Freehold Subaru for standing with us and the animals who need us most.
Love in Action, Led by Freehold Subaru - Marybeth B
The future is brighter for more than 150 children and teens thanks to the unwavering support of Freehold Subaru and its commitment to mentorship through the Annual Share the Love Event. Over the past 11 years, Freehold Subaru has helped raise more than $300,000, opening doors to life-changing mentorship and brighter futures for local youth. To kick off the 2025 Share the Love Event, nine Big & Little matches recently visited Freehold Subaru for a day filled with connection and joy. From "trying on" cars and sharing lunch together to painting holiday ornaments, the experience reflected what this partnership is truly about—bringing people together and creating moments that matter. Because of Share the Love, more young people each year are matched with caring mentors who help them build confidence, dream bigger, and feel supported. The impact reaches far beyond each match, strengthening families, neighborhoods, and the community as a whole. This is what love in action looks like—and Freehold Subaru continues to lead the way.

We Love Your Promise and Commitment to The Center in AP. - Cynthia S
The Center in Asbury Park has been serving the HIV community since 1992. Our mission has remained the same for 33 years; to connect at risk individuals to healthcare, housing, and wellness. Everyday we serve homecooked meals to our clients and residents, as well as providing hygiene bags, a hot shower, art and wellness workshops but most importantly friendship. We advocate for education and collaboration by becoming the first "Fast Track City" in NJ; the global initiative to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. This commitment, to our community, can only be possible with friends and sponsors that we have in Freehold Subaru. Their unwaivering support along with the many volunteers that come everyday are what makes The Center in AP thrive. Our story could NEVER be possible without Freehold Subaru's love. Each year we host our largest fundraiser, Center a La Carte, and we can always count on Freehold Subaru. In addition, their are smaller events that Freehold Subaru is first to lend a hand. Thank You for the years of support, Freehold Subaru. Together, this past year, we housed 32 people totalling 10,270 nights. We served 22,450 hot meals and 25,100 meals to go and we gave out 1526 hygiene bags to our community. This is what we call a "Love Promise"

At our recent Share the Love luncheon/check presentation for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal & Northern New Jersey, Big Sister Delia and Little Sister Lydia loved their time at Freehold Subaru and especially loved the Subaru Accent.

Fun with my Little at Freehold Subaru - Dan T
I recently attended the Freehold Subaru Share the Love Event with my Little Christian and had a great time. We enjoyed meeting other Bigs and Littles, sitting in the cars, and playing in the kid area. We appreciate all that Freehold Subaru does to raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal & Northern New Jersey
Adventure Awaits - Mikki-Jean B
My Little Sister Yas and I recently attended the Big Brothers Big Sisters Luncheon at Freehold Subaru. We loved talking about the different adventures we would go on in a Subaru, and we were able to learn about the different careers within the dealership. The entire team at Freehold Subaru was so helpful and kind. We are so glad that they choose to support Big Brothers Big Sisters each year through the Share the Love Event so that we can continue our friendship with the support of professional Case Managers. It has changed both of our lives for the better!
Ten years of Love! - Charleen C
Ten Years and over $270,000 raised by Freehold Subaru to create positive mentoring relationships for the youth in our community. Support by Freehold Subaru over the past decade has impacted more than just the lives of our littles. A study by the Boston Consulting Group reveals that for every dollar invested in BBBS programs, an astonishing $18-$23 is returned in societal benefits. This return underscores the effectiveness of mentorship in creating long-term positive outcomes, both for individuals and for communities. Consistent support from Freehold Subaru has helped improve education and employment outcomes, enhance the health and well-being of our youth, reduce criminal justice costs for the community, and increase the likelihood that our Littles will go on to volunteer their own time in the future. All of this is through the power of mentoring.
Freehold Subaru: Driving Change in the Fight Against Alzheimer's - Heather Rae S
On October 5th, the scenic boardwalk of Point Pleasant, NJ, was filled with hope and determination as participants gathered for the annual Walk to Fight Alzheimer's, organized by Alzheimer's New Jersey. This year's event was particularly special, thanks to the incredible support from our pewter level sponsor, Freehold Subaru. Freehold Subaru's commitment to making a difference was evident from the start. The impact of Freehold Subaru's contribution extends far beyond the event itself. Their support helps fund vital programs that provide care and assistance to those affected by Alzheimer's disease in New Jersey. From educational workshops to support groups and respite care, the resources made possible by their sponsorship are a lifeline for many families navigating the challenges of this devastating illness. We are profoundly grateful to Freehold Subaru for their partnership and generosity. Their involvement exemplifies the spirit of community and compassion that drives the mission of Alzheimer's New Jersey. Together, we are making strides towards a world without Alzheimer's, one step at a time. Thank you, Freehold Subaru, for being a beacon of hope and a champion in the fight against Alzheimer's.
