Remembering A Friend - Andrew S
COVID-19 has tragically taken the lives of more than 2 million individuals around the world. In January of 2021, ALPA received devastating news that longtime employee Tom Banks, who worked in the Association’s McLean, Va., offices, had passed away on January 28, 2021 as a result of the deadly virus. Banks worked at ALPA for 24 years, most recently as the receiving and distribution clerk in the union’s Facilities Department. His legacy will forever be his good nature and welcoming presence. He made a friend of everyone whose path he crossed. Here at ALPA and with the leadership of Andrew Street we have been celebrating the life of Tom Banks at a Golf event known as "ALPA OPEN INVITATIONAL in memory of Tom Banks" at the Brambleton Golf Course in Ashburn, VA. This event is close to our heart and the money we raised was donated to the Diabetes Association of America in Tom's honor. Thank you Stohlman Subaru of Tysons for stepping up and being a sponsor. The onsite raffles, gift basket and support made our event even better.

At Stohlman Subaru of Tysons, our commitment is not only to our customers, but to our community and the environment as well. We care deeply rooted in our community and are committed to keeping our neighborhoods vibrant and healthy for generations to come.

Year after year, our community loses trees due to age, disease, infestation, and extreme weather. Because of this, we are proud to partner with the Arbor Day Foundation to help address these problems. This spring, as part of our Subaru loves the Earth initiative, Stohlman Subaru provided and distributed 100 trees that will benefit our communities for generations! This year alone, Subaru and its retailers provided and distributed 100,000 trees to communities across the country. Together we are growing a greener, healthier community for generations to come!

Subaru Retailers Team Up to Support Hurricane Relief Efforts - Jess M
At Stohlman Subaru, we’re always ready to step up and support our communities, especially in times of crisis. This commitment is at the heart of the Subaru Love Promise®. When Hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated the Eastern region, Subaru retailers like us immediately sprang into action. Alongside other Subaru retailers, Subaru of America, and local organizations, we assessed the most urgent needs in the affected areas. It quickly became clear that local food banks were struggling to keep up with the surge in demand as they worked to support people hit hardest by the storms. In response, we teamed up with 67 Subaru retailers across the region to launch a $400,000 match campaign to aid the hurricane relief efforts of Feeding America®. Stohlman Subaru proudly contributed $2500 to this initiative. While the immediate impact of the storms fades from the headlines, many of our neighbors continue to face long-term challenges like food insecurity, water shortages, power outages, and limited access to essential services. Thanks to the collective generosity of Subaru retailers and the communities we serve, an additional $18,427 was raised. This brings the total impact to $418,427, or over 4,100,000 meals for those in need. "As one of the nation's largest disaster relief organizations, the Feeding America network of food banks and partner agencies is deeply rooted in communities across the country. Together, our partnership with trusted Subaru dealers has helped expedite emergency food assistance and supplies to people who need it most. We are immensely grateful," said Feeding America Chief Development Officer Casey Marsh.
Win…Win… Winter Coats and 500 Smiling Faces! - Susan U
The Stohlman Subaru Family made another promise of making the community a better place...this time a commitment to 500 young kids! January 18, 2024, kids from Dogwood Elementary a Fairfax County Public School in Reston, Va were given a reason to smile. Stohlman’s generosity and caring, through Operation Warm, donated new coats to 500 kids whose families live at or below the poverty line. Watching the caravan of four Subaru Outbacks, arrive from the Tyson’s Dealership as the Stohlmn Team drove up to the school and unloaded huge boxes of coats was a memory to savor for Kate Beckner, principal, Andy Sigle, Family Liaison, additional Dogwood staff along with their co-partner, Kids R First’s board members and Founder Susan Ungerer. What a “happy after school event” to see kids, with parents, in the cafeteria sipping hot chocolate, eating “big cookies” coloring on large banners with original Subaru and Dogwood designs created by Adam Portzel, Stohlman’s Marketing Manager, while waiting a turn to choose “their coat” from a rainbow of colors and styles to call “their own” and name written inside. The thoughtful details Adam and his team from Stohlman made will never be forgotten. WJLA, News 7 was present to capture the excitement and smiles but also heard the story of Stohlman’s overlapping commitments in the community with a new partnership, Kids R First, a non profit organization who has provided new school supplies to 500,000+ kids, including those at Dogwood Elementary for the past 25 years in Northern VA. Both Andy Sigle and Susan Ungerer, happy Subaru owners (from Stohlman) THANK STOHLMAN FOR THEIR COMMITMENT TO KIDS AND THE SUBARU LOVES ROLE MODEL FOR OTHER BUSINESSES IN OUR COMMUNITY!
