Subaru Loves Learning - Hoffman Estates High School - Susan B

At Hoffman Estates High School, we believe in the power of connection, compassion, and community. This year, that belief was strengthened through our partnership with Napletons Schaumburg Subaru and the Subaru Loves Learning initiative, part of the Subaru Love Promise. Through their generosity, our students and staff received school supplies and books, tools that do far more than fill classrooms. They inspire curiosity, confidence, and a renewed excitement for learning. Each notebook, each story, and each act of kindness carries with it the message that our students are seen, valued, and supported. The impact of Subarus Love Promise is felt in the classrooms where students discover their passions, in the hands of teachers who pour their hearts into their work, and in the growing spirit of pride that connects us all as one HEHS family. To Napletons Schaumburg Subaru, thank you for believing in our mission, for showing what community partnership truly looks like, and for helping us create a brighter path forward for every student who walks through our doors. Together, we are fueling possibility, one classroom at a time.

Schaumburg Subaru Deepens Commitment to Local Workforce Development - Don M

In partnership with the Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg AM Rotary Clubs, Operation Toolkit initiative, the dealership is helping bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world labor market needs, which is empowering students to pursue careers in the skilled trades. Operation Toolkit was launched, four years ago, to annually provide 20-25 aspiring mechanics with starter-level toolkits, a critical resource for entering vocational schools, union apprenticeships, or to direct employment in auto dealerships. Thanks to the generosity of Schaumburg Subaru and Chris Napleton, seven toolkits have been donated over the past three yearseach one a launchpad for a students future in automotive technology. Local high schools, including Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, and Conant, work closely with Rotary and industry partners to identify deserving seniors who have demonstrated commitment to earning their automotive certificates and ASE certifications. These students must complete a rigorous application process and secure placement within a sanctioned Certificate Training Program, a dealership or shop before receiving their toolkit. The impact has been transformative. Since the programs inception four years ago, Hoffman Estates High Schools Autos Program has seen a surge in enrollment, engagement, and enthusiasm. A toolkit displayed at the front of the classroom serves as a daily motivator, inspiring students to stay focused and strive for excellence. Teachers report that younger students are now approaching them in hallways, eager to learn how they can join the program. Schaumburg Subarus involvement goes beyond donationsits a model of how local employers can collaborate with educators to shape the future workforce. By sharing insights into labor needs and offering mentorship and employment opportunities, theyre helping students achieve living-wage careers while strengthening the regions skilled labor pipeline. The Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg AM Rotary Clubs are proud to celebrate this partnership and the lasting impact it continues to make. The energy in the program is contagious, and the results speak for themselves: more engaged students, stronger community ties, and a brighter future for all.

The Power of Possibility, Backed by Napleton Schaumburg Subaru - Reena S

At Chicago Collegiate Charter School, we believe in the power of exposure, opportunity, and unwavering support. This year, we were once again reminded of that power thanks to Napleton Schaumburg Subarus Valedictorian Sponsorship of our annual Beyond the Halls benefit event.

Because of your support, we raised $100,000 to fund our annual college tour, expand college readiness programming, strengthen alumni support, and provide real-world learning experiences for nearly 300 students in grades 6 through 12.

Napleton's Schaumburg Subaru helps through participation in the Happy Howlidays Giving Tree program - Greg M

Napletons Schaumburg Subaru once again stepped up to help support Anderson Humane and our mission this holiday season.

Napleton's Schaumburg Ratchets Up Support for Area Vocational Schools - Chris N

Rotary International started a program to help support local students looking for upward career paths, calling it Operation Tool Kit. The goal of the drive is to help end the cycle of poverty by giving 25 aspiring mechanics a starter level tool set that would be required for admission to vocational schools and/or union internships. Without the support of retailers like Napleton's Schaumburg Subaru, these students would lack the necessary means to pursue their desired career path and might otherwise be forced to settle for a less fulfilling career trajectory. Local schools such as Hoffman Estates High School, Schaumburg High School and Conant High School assist with identifying worthy, qualified candidates and in turn these recipients are often later employed within the contributing dealerships. Napleton's Schaumburg Subaru improves the economic health of the community, the income earning ability of the recipients and helps maximize the prospects for the students within their chosen field. We greatly appreciate Napleton's Schaumburg Subaru's generous donation of the cost of two of these toolkits and look forward to our continued partnership!

Napleton's Schaumburg Subaru and Journey's Bid for Hope - Suzanne P

Support from our community partners is life changing for many. Napleton Subaru of Schaumburg sponsored JOURNEYS 27th Annual Bid for HOPE at the Premier Benefactor level, at a $3,000 donation. This kind of support directly affects people like Sophia: Sophia came to JOURNEYS in early 2021 with her three kids, fleeing domestic abuse. Her abuser knew where she lived, but luckily, JOURNEYS was able to keep her safe from them. Because we wanted to always keep her family together, we set the four of them up in our hotel program. After patiently waiting in their hotel room, Sophia was finally referred to an apartment that met her and her three kids needs. Today, they are happily living in that apartment, and not utilizing JOURNEYS services. Thanks to the efforts of JOURNEYS staff members, Sophia was able to flee domestic violence and protect her kids from harm. Housing insecurity comes in many forms, and sometimes, all you need is a little support. Napletons sponsorship of our 27th annual Bid for HOPE is only the most recent example of their generosity and support for JOURNEYS. We cannot express our appreciation enough and are eager to continue our partnership into the future!

Napleton Schaumburg Subaru helps deserving pets find their forever homes! - Greg M

Every October, Napleton Schaumburg Subaru has helped Anderson Humane find homes for our rescues. 2023 was no exception! This year, with their help and support, we were able to place more than thirty-one pets in loving homes. Through financial donations, they help prepare our adoptables by covering the costs to transport, provide medical care, spay and neuter, and microchip the animals within our care. Without this backing, we wouldn't have been able to home over 3,500 domestic animals in 2023! Thank you Chris Napleton and the entire team for being there for us and our furry friends!

Subaru Loves to Care® Delivery - Joie B

I am a Community Outreach Volunteer Intern this summer with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society® and on June 26th I assisted in a Subaru Loves to Care® delivery at the Advocate Lutheran General Hospital Cancer Survivorship Center. I was kindly greeted by a member of the hospital staff, Samantha Daniel, who was extremely helpful and resourceful throughout the entire delivery. Once the Subaru employees arrived, we all introduced ourselves, brought all of the boxes with blankets and patient care kits into the hospital, and then took some photos all together. There were several Subaru employees assisting with this delivery who made the process run smoothly and helped out whenever needed. These individuals made the delivery possible, and I am grateful to have had the chance to meet and work alongside them. It is obvious to me that the Subaru Chicago Zone and the Subaru Central Region Offices are making a significant impact on their community. After we completed the delivery, the doctor turned to the LLS and Subaru staff and said "You have no idea what this means to our patients. Many patients talk about these blankets and wear them to treatment. Receiving these blankets inspires patients to help future patients, many have even spent time during their treatment knitting blankets for future patients. This was beyond rewarding and heartwarming to hear, and we were so glad that these deliveries are making such a difference in the lives of patients. I hope to continue attending Subaru Loves to Care deliveries in the future and spreading more joy to patients!

You Made My Day! - Sue W

Subaru Loves to Care, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, healthcare partners, and LLS volunteers are truly bringing light to the darkness of cancer. On July 24 we had the opportunity to visit Amita Health Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village. The visit was extra special because we were able to meet with patients, offer words of encouragement, and deliver cozy Subaru blankets to keep the patients warm during treatment. We know that fighting cancer is often difficult and overwhelming, but we also know that showing compassion and love can relieve those burdens. This visit was a true statement about the love and compassion that is out in the world. Not only did we have the Subaru team and hospital team on hand to support the blanket deliveries, but we also had LLS volunteers, Maura & Teagan. What makes Maura and Teagan so special - they have fought cancer and now volunteer to support LLS and patients. Teagan was diagnosed at a young age and Maura is her mother. They are a true testament to the statement "Never Give Up!" Chris Napleton and Teagan visited with the many patients, shared stories, and delivered blankets with messages of hope. Teagan supplied that hope in person. As a survivor and thriver, she allowed the patients to see there is hope for getting through treatment and great things are possible for the future. The patients and families were truly touched by the generosity of Subaru! They laughed, they cried, and they were overcome with joy! One patient exclaimed, "you made my day". Subaru truly does care! Subaru Loves to Care! Thank you, Chris Napleton and team!
