Cavender Subaru Loves The Earth! - Nathan W
At Cavender Subaru of Norman, we care deeply about our community and are committed to keeping our neighborhoods vibrant and healthy. Trees are vital to this effort — they provide oxygen, cool our community, filter water, clean the air, prevent flooding, and improve health. But every year, our community loses trees due to age, disease, infestation, and extreme weather. We are proud to partner with the Arbor Day Foundation to help address this problem. As part of our Subaru Loves the Earth initiative, we are providing and distributing 100 mature, regionally appropriate trees to members of our community completely free of charge.

Cavender Subaru of Norman partners with Sleep in Heavenly Peace - Dustin D
The most basic things, like having a bed to sleep on at night, are sometimes taken for granted. Yes, this one really got to us, which is why we linked up with Sleep in Heavenly Peace right away. Their goal is to make sure that no child in our community sleeps on the floor. At Sleep in Heavenly Peace, they firmly think that a bed is essential to provide a child with the right kind of physical, emotional, and mental support they need to properly thrive. Here at Cavender Subaru of Norman, this message truly resonated with us, and we immediately started researching to figure out how we could be of assistance. Following discussion, we agreed to hold a building day! SHP provided the know-how, and we provided the materials and the people, and neither was lacking. On the day of our host, more than thirty beds were constructed, and more than forty-five individuals from our stores came to assist with their assembly. From smoothing down the wood to drilling holes in blank wood slats. We all felt like we contributed a little bit more that day after this enjoyable hands-on experience. The most significant accomplishment we made yesterday was getting thirty kids off the floor. It is a great pleasure for us to collaborate with Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Please visit their website to find out how you can help if you feel compelled to or if this story resonates with you. Every effort counts! https://shpbeds.org/
Cavender Subaru Trunk or Treat for Fostering Futures - Brooke A
This year, we held our retailer's annual Trunk or Treat for Halloween. Everyone who came had a terrific time, and we had a tremendous turnout! Compared to last year, this one was a bit more noteworthy. Our collaboration was with Fostering Futures. Just a little about their organization and why we chose to support them. Fostering Futures, formerly Citizen’s Advisory Board of Cleveland County (CAB), was developed and implemented in 1989 with one specific goal: fulfill the Christmas wish lists of children in out-of-home care in Cleveland County. The program received tremendous support from the community and the wish lists of 69 children were filled that year. Today, this program still fully relies on the community for support but has grown considerably. In 2022, Fostering Futures was able to fulfill the wish lists of 1067 children. This community makes a difference! Over the years, we began a Special Needs program to help with broader needs like clothing, food, and gas in order to assist children and their families in achieving permanence. As our community grows and as government assistance dwindles, the needs of our most vulnerable citizens continues to grow. It is our goal to not only meet the basic needs of these children but to provide opportunities for growth throughout the year. Fostering Futures is composed of members of our community that come from various walks of life and are dedicated to elevating the lives of children connected with Cleveland County Child Welfare. What made the treat or trunk significant? The trunk or treat had a deeper significance in addition to being a lot of fun. More than 20 area companies contributed unique goods, deals, or gift cards for our raffle. The goods that were "bid" on in the raffle were these. We were able to raise more than $1,500.00 for Fostering Futures with the help of the local companies. Up to 16 kids can be supported and given the Christmas they deserve with their help. Given how difficult this year has been for everyone, we are thrilled to be able to support our community and the children who need it most.
Cavender Subaru of Norman Loves Learning with John Adams Elementary - Nathan W
Cavender Subaru of Norman believes that all students deserve an equal opportunity for a quality education. That’s why we are partnering with AdoptAClassroom.org to make a difference in the lives of students at John Adams Elementary School in Norman this year. Millions of students in high-needs schools across the country, including right here in our local community, lack the supplies and learning materials necessary to be successful in the classroom. In fact, 92% of teachers in the United States have students whose families cannot afford school supplies, often requiring teachers to purchase resources using their own money. Cavender Subaru of Norman is supporting high-needs schools in our community through Subaru Loves Learning by adopting John Adams Elementary School and providing its teachers with funding to purchase the school supplies and resources they know are most needed to help their students thrive in the classroom. Subaru is the largest corporate donor to AdoptAClassroom.org. Thanks to this partnership, Subaru and its retailers like us have provided support to over 750,000 students across the nation and 1,550 students in Norman, Oklahoma.
