A Special Thanks! - Liz F
THANK YOU for supporting our 17th Annual Duck Derby. Your donation of time and resources added to our prizes and helped award the winning duck ticket holders! These prizes made many people happy. Thank you also for supporting our community. By contributing to one of our annual fundraisers, you contributed to your community. Our Rotary Club of Northglenn-Thornton focuses on many local projects. Some projects are strictly financial: scholarships to local high school seniors ($20,000 last year), week-long summer leadership camp for local teens, initiating and supporting the drive to eliminate polio in the world. Other projects are financial and "hands-on": annual food drives for local food banks, planting and caring for flower beds in our city parks, buying presents for Adams County CASA teens to fulfil 3 wishes at Christmas and support of local high school fundraisers. We thank Mike Shaw Subaru for their participation and support- you are very special to us!
A Heartfelt Thank You to Arnie - Evelyn H
On behalf of the families whose lives you’ve touched, we want to extend a deep and sincere thank you to Arnie, one of the dedicated technicians at Mike Shaw Subaru, for going above and beyond in an act of true compassion and selflessness. Arnie generously donated an entire day of his own time—unpaid—to complete much-needed brake jobs on vehicles belonging to families in serious need. While Arnie willingly offered his time and labor to assist one individual with the break repair, when he was informed more families needed assistance, he did not hesitate to spend the whole day completing numerous repairs without being asked. These were not just simple repairs. They were critical safety fixes for individuals who rely on their vehicles every day for work, school, and medical care. The families served included survivors of domestic abuse, individuals struggling with low income, and those caring for children with special needs. Each one faces incredible daily challenges, and for many, safe and functioning transportation can mean the difference between stability and crisis. In a world where time is one of the most valuable things we have to give, Arnie’s choice to give his time and skilled labor—without compensation—speaks volumes about the kind of person he is and the values upheld at Mike Shaw Subaru. It wasn’t just about fixing cars; it was about restoring dignity, peace of mind, and hope to people who needed it most. This is what the Subaru Love Promise looks like in real life: caring for others not just in word, but in action. Arnie didn’t just show up with tools—he showed up with heart. And because of his generosity, multiple families are now safer on the road and better equipped to move forward with confidence. To Arnie—thank you for your hands, your heart, and your humility. And to Mike Shaw Subaru—thank you for fostering a workplace culture that empowers employees to do good and give back to the community in meaningful, impactful ways. Your team is truly making a difference, one act of kindness at a time. Our nonprofit organization (which we choose not to disclose due to family privacy) would not be able to assist families in need without people like Arnie. He unexpectedly and willingly donated his skills and labor to better the lives of those who need it most. We are so thankful that people like Arnie exist and are out there to make the world a better place. With immense gratitude, Evelyn

Subaru Drives LLS’s Mission Forward, One Delivery at a Time - Lauren S
Through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative, Mike Shaw Subaru has partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and RMCC Thorton to bring comfort and encouragement to cancer patients. Each summer, this meaningful collaboration results in the delivery of cozy blankets and handwritten messages of hope. On 6/26/25, Mike Shaw Subaru generously visited the hospital to personally deliver these items, brightening the day of patients undergoing treatment. These simple yet powerful gestures are deeply appreciated—patients often share how much it means to feel seen and supported by their broader community. By engaging local Subaru retailers and community members, these deliveries not only uplift patients but also help advance LLS’s mission to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.

Gifting Comfort and Compassion - Lisa P
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and Rocky Mountain Cancer Center extend our deepest gratitude to Mike Shaw Subaru for their generous and compassionate donation of warm blankets and heartfelt Messages of Hope as part of the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. These donations mean more than just comfort items—they represent hope, kindness, and human connection to those in the midst of some of the most challenging moments of their lives. For many patients undergoing treatment, especially those in extended or aggressive care regimens, small gestures like a warm blanket or a personal message can lift spirits in ways that words alone can’t fully express. Thanks to Mike Shaw Subaru, dozens of cancer patients in our community felt seen, supported, and loved. Your team's presence during the delivery and your continued commitment to giving back through Subaru’s Love Promise initiative make a meaningful difference—not just for our patients, but for their families and our caregivers as well. We are proud to partner with an organization that truly embodies the spirit of care and community. Thank you for helping us bring light and warmth to those in need, and for standing with us in the fight against cancer. Together, we are not only delivering blankets—we are delivering hope.

A Gift That Will Change Lives - Lauren S
We are deeply honored and grateful to Mike Shaw Subaru and Subaru of America, Inc. for their incredible generosity and continued commitment to our community.

Fueling Thornton High School Students - Veronica V
Please extend our sincere thanks to Mike Shaw Subaru for the generous support in sponsoring lunch at Thornton High School’s first Postsecondary Readiness Fair. Thanks to your organization's contribution, we welcomed over 81 students and 11 community businesses to an event filled with energy, purpose, and connection. Your support not only provided a delicious and much-appreciated meal, but also helped create a welcoming atmosphere that encouraged meaningful interactions. I witnessed vendors leaving with job applications in hand, students engaging with trade unions to explore workforce opportunities, and others utilizing the application help area—taking brave steps toward securing summer opportunities. These moments were a direct reflection of the impact your sponsorship made. Your commitment to our students and the broader community truly made a difference. We are grateful for your partnership and look forward to working together again in the future. Please enjoy some photos we were able to capture from yesterday.
