February 2011:  Subaru of Orange Park sponsors a Dream Genie Day for a local cancer survivor.

As a company that is known for being very community oriented, we are often approached by charities, non profits and other causes to help with their cause.  As often as we can, we say yes.  Every once in a while, we are presented with an opportunity that truly knocks our socks off, and this is it. 

The Experience Genie (pictured below) travels the world surprising terminally ill cancer patients (they like to call them "survivors!") with a day of their dreams to help get their sickness off of their minds and treat them to a day beyond their wildest dreams. 

Subaru of Orange Park was able to facilitate this cause by making a donation to make the day happen, and providing a fully loaded 2011 Outback to chauffeur the survivor around in.   The surprise of the day took place at the dealership.  The survivor's name is Bob Kahle, a Jacksonville resident who is a former Marine.  Many tears and smiles came throughout the day, and it was an opportunity we will never forget!  Learn more about the Experience Genie here: The Experience Genie.

Please enjoy the photos below.

December 16, 2010: Subaru of Orange Park and Subaru of Jacksonville Christmas Party.

Each year, Subaru of Jacksonville and Subaru of Orange Park hold a holiday party for all employees and a guest of their choosing.  This year, our event was held at Ocean 60.

April - May 21, 2010: Subaru of Orange Park and Subaru of Jacksonville bring back the "Subaru Star" Reading Event!

Subaru of Jacksonville and Subaru of Orange Park are back at it again to help the community!  We have a strong desire to help Jacksonville's high needs youth conquer and excel in reading and comprehension.  We first did the program during fall of 2009 with area elementary schools.  This semester, we took it to the next level: Middle Schools!  We volunteered at J.E.B. Stuart Middle School and Joseph Stilwell Middle School.  We provided prizes to all of the teachers, staff, administrators and students for their participation!  J.E.B. Stuart came out to be the winner and was awarded a $2,500.00 donation as their prize!  Because everyone is a winner with the Subaru Star Reading Program, we also donated $500.00 to Joseph Stilwell Middle School!  It was an incredible 6 week journey, we loved being in the schools and interacting with the students!
