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.

The MechaRAMS extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous sponsors for supporting us through another successful robotics season. Your contributions made it possible for us to grow, compete, and excel This year, we had another successful season, finishing strong in the New England Region (58th out of 190 teams). Highlights included reaching the quarterfinals at both our Waterbury and Western New England University district events; where we also won a District Quality Award at the former. Qualifying for the New England District Championship, we ranked 26th in a tough division and were honored with a Regional Quality Award, recognizing our robot's machine robustness in concept and fabrication. We capped off the season by ranking 7th in Connecticut and reaching the quarterfinals at the CIAC State Championship. None of this would have been possible without your belief in our mission and your continued support. Parts are getting more expensive, and your donations ensured we had what we needed, and backups. Thank you so much for helping us with the season. With sincere appreciation, The MechaRAMS

Quality Subaru Partners With Arbor Day Foundation - kelly H
April 12, 2025 – Wallingford, CT – In celebration of Arbor Day and in keeping with a strong commitment to sustainability, Quality Subaru proudly partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to give away free trees to customers on April 12th. Through this special initiative, Quality Subaru distributed 94 trees to customers, helping promote environmental awareness and encouraging greener communities. The event, part of Subaru’s larger “Subaru Loves the Earth” campaign, reflects Quality Subaru’s dedication to making a positive impact both locally and globally. By teaming up with the Arbor Day Foundation, one of the most respected environmental nonprofits in the country, Quality Subaru is helping to ensure a cleaner, greener future for all. “We’re proud to support our customers in making an impact through something as simple—and powerful—as planting a tree,” said a spokesperson for Quality Subaru. “These trees will grow to clean the air, provide shade, and add natural beauty to our neighborhoods. It’s one small way we can give back to the planet and our community.” Each tree handed out came with easy planting instructions, making it simple for recipients to plant them in their own yards or neighborhoods. Customers were enthusiastic about the opportunity to take part in something meaningful, with many expressing gratitude for the chance to contribute to a healthier environment. The Arbor Day Foundation’s mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees aligns perfectly with Subaru’s environmental values, and this event highlighted the powerful change that can occur when businesses and customers work together. As Earth Day approaches, Quality Subaru continues to look for ways to support sustainability efforts and strengthen community ties. The dealership encourages everyone to plant a tree, take care of the Earth, and drive change—literally and figuratively.
Warming the hearts of Meriden youth - Jaime G
Quality Subaru of Wallingford generously donated and handed out 120 brand new coats to the youthful members of our Club. Not only did this incredible act provide warmth for our kids during the winter, it also instilled a sense of joy, belonging, and confidence in the children who received them. Ann, Peter, Jack, Ben, and Nadia were all undeniably impactful as they each helped youth choose and size out their jackets, ensuring each child felt heard and seen. Although it’s already been a few days since our event, the kiddos are still talking about how much they appreciated these incredibly kind individuals, and are even asking to see “Subaru” again! These types of moments are what we strive for, and this was made possible by the wonderful staff at Quality Subaru’s commitment to giving back. Thank you Quality Subaru, and thank you Jack, Ann, Pete, Nadia, and Ben – your act of kindness exemplified the power of community partnerships in supporting and uplifting our youth.
