After trying freeze-dried fruit and candy and instantly loving it, he used his wish to have his very own freeze dryer so he could make his own creations. Throughout his treatment journey, his interest in food, health, and fitness grew, and his freeze-drying dream took off. Now he makes everything from blueberries and banana slices to Skittles, Starburst, and marshmallows for friends and family. He's also part of an enthusiastic online community that shares freeze drying recipes and ideas. With his creativity and drive, Cayden hopes to one day turn this hobby into a business. Support from generous friends like you make wishes like Cayden's possible. On behalf of Make-A-Wish® Connecticut and the children whose wishes we grant, it gives me great pleasure to thank you for your generous gift in the amount of $11,000.00. We truly appreciate your generosity, thank you for the impact it will have on our wish kids! YOUR support provides necessary hope to over 300 wish kids who are waiting. Partners like you ensure these kids can replace fear with confidence and sadness with joy. We believe wishes are integral to a child's treatment journey and it is because of your commitment to helping children in need that we are able to spark joy and create hope for Connecticut wish kids. Best Wishes, Pam Pamela Keough President and CEO Handwritten note: "Thanks for your support!"
Quality Subaru Shares the Love with the Connecticut Cancer Foundation! - Jane E
COMMUNITY SUPPORT MEANS EVERYTHING, and we consider Quality Subaru to be a valued "Friend of the Foundation" for truly caring about their COMMUNITY and those in need. Community support serves as the backbone of any thriving community, and the importance of Community support cannot be overstated. The Connecticut Cancer Foundation was founded in 1987 with a mission to financially assist Connecticut cancer patients and to fund cancer research. NO ONE PLANS FOR CANCER! And no one should have to worry about a roof over their heads, lights on and food on the table while battling cancer! The burden of cancer isn't just cancer — it is significant financial, emotional, and physical stress. When a doctor tells you or someone you love, "you have cancer", initially, finances are not a top priority. But soon enough, real life sets in, and the financial hardship can be overwhelming. Medical expertise is a key part to cancer treatment, but it won't be enough. To get through it, you need to build a CANCER TEAM with family, friends, and COMMUNITY SUPPORT. Quality Subaru exemplifies the compassionate spirit of COMMUNITY SUPPORT! THANK YOU, Quality Subaru, for being a dynamic force for good and for leading the way for others to follow!  Jane Ellis Executive Director Connecticut Cancer Foundation
Quality Subaru and Arbor Day Foundation - kelly H
In celebration of Arbor Day and as part of its continued commitment to sustainability, Quality Subaru proudly partnered once again with the Arbor Day Foundation to give away free trees to customers on April 25th. Through this year's initiative, Quality Subaru distributed a variety of tree species—including Dogwoods, Maples, and Sycamores—to customers, helping promote environmental awareness and encouraging greener communities throughout the region. The event, part of Subaru's nationwide "Subaru Loves the Earth" campaign, reflects Quality Subaru's dedication to making a positive impact both locally and globally. By partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation—one of the most respected environmental nonprofits in the country—the dealership continues to support efforts that lead to a cleaner, healthier future. "We're here every day serving this community, so it means a lot to be able to give something back that will grow for years to come. These trees are a small gesture, but they represent something bigger—taking care of where we live." — Joe, Owner, Quality Subaru Each tree was provided with easy-to-follow planting instructions, making it simple for recipients to plant and care for them at home. Customers once again showed strong enthusiasm for the event, appreciating the opportunity to take part in something that contributes to long-term environmental health. The Arbor Day Foundation's mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees aligns perfectly with Subaru's environmental values. Events like this highlight the impact that can be made when businesses and communities work together. As Earth Day passes and spring continues, Quality Subaru remains committed to supporting sustainability initiatives and strengthening community connections—encouraging everyone to plant a tree, care for the Earth, and drive positive change.

Chloe's cookies - Benjamin T
Dear Quality Subaru, Thank you so much for letting me come in to sell my Girl Scout cookies! I had so much fun with everyone, sharing my cookies with you.

Subaru is Driving Great Futures - Jaime G
On the last week of January 2026, a cold winter day at the Boys & Girls Club of Meriden was transformed into something truly special thanks to the generosity of the incredible staff and volunteers at Subaru of Wallingford. The Subaru team arrived ready to make a difference that afternoon, and they did just that. Nearly 200 Club members were able to pick out a warm, new coat to help them get through the rest of the winter. For many of the kids, this wasn't just a surprise; it was something they had been looking forward to since last year. As they lined up to browse the coats, you could hear them talking about the colors they chose the year before and how excited they were to find a new one that would fit their growing bodies. Watching the kids try on coats, zip them up, and look at themselves with huge smiles was a powerful reminder of how meaningful something as simple as a warm coat can be. For many families in our community, winter essentials can be a real challenge. Through Subaru of Wallingford, our local children aren't just receiving a coat, they're receiving comfort, confidence, and the knowledge that their community cares about them. The impact of this mission goes far beyond the moment. A warm coat means a child can walk to school comfortably, play outside with friends, and focus on being a kid without worrying about the cold. The team from Subaru of Wallingford brought more than coats that day, they brought warmth, kindness, and joy. Their continued commitment to supporting local youth is truly inspiring, and the smiles on nearly 200 faces said more than words ever could. It's partnerships like this that remind us how powerful community can be when people come together to support the next generation. THANK YOU WALLINGFORD SUBARU!!

Quality Subaru's Love Promise: A Magical Sendoff for Chloe - Kris M
Quality Subaru has been a cherished and committed partner of Make-A-Wish® Connecticut for many years, playing a vital role in making life-changing wishes come true for children with critical illnesses. Their unwavering support has touched the lives of countless wish kids—like Chloe, a shining example of courage, joy, and hope. Chloe is an outgoing and spirited five-year-old who bravely faces the challenges of a respiratory disorder, always with a big smile and an even bigger heart. She loves playing outside, spending time with friends, and has dreams of becoming a pediatric occupational therapist one day. She recently began competitive dance—learning tap, jazz, and ballet—and when asked her favorite color, her answer is simple: rainbow! So when it came time to choose her wish, Chloe knew exactly what she wanted: to visit the biggest playground in the world—Walt Disney World® Resort. To celebrate her upcoming adventure, the team at Quality Subaru made sure Chloe felt like a true VIP. Greeted by Joe, the owner, and Peter, the general manager, Chloe was welcomed by the entire staff with colorful signs, pom-poms, and Disney ears for a magical sendoff. She even brought her own pink camera to capture every joyful moment! The celebration included exploring Subaru cars, sharing laughs, and enjoying pizza, cake, and Disney-themed gifts—all in Chloe’s honor. The joy in the room was undeniable, creating memories that Chloe and everyone present will never forget. But Quality Subaru’s impact goes far beyond a single celebration. Through their continued participation in the Subaru Share the Love® Event, they’ve rallied the community and made a generous donation to Make-A-Wish Connecticut—helping to grant even more wishes for local children.

Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Wallingford, this is a harsh reality.
