Bangor Humane Society partners with Quirk Subaru to save animals! - Kathryn R
Giving back to the community is one thing Quirk Subaru is known for, and Bangor Humane Society is grateful to once again be selected to receive donations from Share the Love! This year's donation of $14,725 will go far in helping BHS manage the many needs of homeless and unwanted pets in the Bangor Region. With more than 2,000 intakes a year, there is a wide range of care that is necessary to prepare animals for adoption, from standard clinical care to more advanced medical and behavioral interventions. This donation will mean we are able to continue successfully stewarding to new homes over 97% of the animals in our care. Thank you, Quirk Subaru, Subaru of New England, and Subaru of America for focusing your charitable donations in hometowns like Bangor! <3
Sharing the Subaru Knowledge - Kyle S
Quirk Subaru invited students from United Technologies Center's Electrical, Carpentry and Plumbing and Heating programs to tour their new facility currently under construction in Bangor. The students were able to see first hand how their skills can be put to use in a commercial building setting. Students were able to interact with contractors and find out about future job opportunities. This was a very valuable opportunity for the mostly 17 & 18 year old students.
Quirk Subaru supports Children's Dyslexia Center Bangor - Charlie H
On behalf of the Children’s Dyslexia Center in Bangor, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation. Your support plays a pivotal role in allowing us to continue offering free tutoring to children struggling with Dyslexia. Dyslexia is a neurological learning disability that affects up to one in five people, making it challenging to read, write, and spell. Without proper treatment, these challenges can lead to difficulties in academics, social situations, and self-esteem. Thanks to donors like Quirk Subaru of Bangor, we can provide vital services to children who might not otherwise have access to the help they need. Your contribution helps us not only provide tutoring but also train highly skilled tutors, furthering our mission to tackle the difficulties Dyslexia presents. The impact of early intervention cannot be overstated. By equipping students with the confidence and skills necessary to approach learning without fear, we are helping to change the trajectory of their lives, both in the classroom and beyond. For many families, access to this level of support would be out of reach without financial assistance, making your generosity truly life-changing for these children and their families. With more than 40 Dyslexia Centers across 13 states, we are proud to be nationally recognized for the life-altering work we do, and we are deeply grateful to partners like you who make it possible. Your dedication to the Bangor community and to supporting programs like ours makes all the difference. Thank you again for believing in our mission and helping us transform the futures of children with Dyslexia. Warm regards, Charlie Haskell Children’s Dyslexia Center, Bangor

Fairmount School Benefits from Subaru's Generous Donation - Kate S
Fairmount School is so thankful for Subaru's generous donation this year. Our teachers have benefited in many ways. Here are some of the things our teachers had to say. "I bought posters that go with math concepts, fidget items, a wobble seat, and large poster sticky note easel pads. These items will add additional resources that are appealing to students that I would not normally have been able to purchase for my classroom." "I bought lots of books, comfy floor chairs, dividers for testing and a few teacher resources. These donated resources are huge for me and my students. I didn't have any comfortable seating for reading and most of my library was geared towards third graders. This was GREATLY appreciated! "Thank you so much, Quirk Subaru, for these much needed supplies for the classroom. The students and I are incredibly excited to use them! These useful tools have made an exciting new school year even better! Thank you again for your amazing support to Fairmount School!
