Subaru Loves to Help - Edwards A
Dear Sheehy Subaru Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I received at your dealership. Recently, I had the privilege of experiencing excellent customer service, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the complimentary services you provided. I especially want to thank Adam Edwards, Russ Zakeri, and Ben Ong. I recently came into the dealership just to get an oil change. After inspection of my vehicle, I was told that I needed work totaling over two thousand dollars. This was quite the blow considering I had just buried my father; my husband was laid off and my family was now struggling to surviving off of my special education teacher salary. Hearing thisI am a bit embarrassed to say it, but I just broke down right there. It was too much and too soon. I walked outside to get some air and catch my breath. As I did, Adam walked over and simply asked, How can I help? This was comforting to me. I needed to be able to vent or simply release. Adam was so very kind and patient as I shared the recent events that broke me on the spot. He was just what I needed at that moment. He listened and responded with words of comfort and understanding. He explained that he had loss his father and that his wife has been an educator for quite some years. I believe he said she was nearing retirement. Adam understood the pain of the loss of a parent and what stress of educators. To get my mind off things for a moment he provided moments of laughter of the things his wife has experienced through the years and funny stories with his father. I believe we spoke for over 20 minutes, but his attentiveness never once waivered. I knew he wanted to make sure that I had a good laugh to lift my spirits. At the end of the conversation, he insisted on giving me a loaner car and asked me if I could trust him with my Subaru Legacy for a couple of days. Two days later, Mr. Edwards called and asked if he could drop my car to me at my home. When he arrived with my Subaru Legacy, I couldnt believe it was the same car. It was absolutely spotless. He also relayed to me that the dealership took advantage of a very special discount that Sheehy has for Educator! Mr. Edwards would not take any credit but gave all the praise to both Ben Ong and Russ Zakeri. He explained that after retelling my story that they wanted to help! I cant tell you how much I needed this and thank God that there are still good, kind, compassionate people in this world. With all the divisiveness going on in this world today, this gives me peace and hope for our future. It is not often that a company goes above and beyond to make their customers feel valued, and the free services I received were truly unexpected, thoughtful, welcomed, and very much needed gesture. Please extend my gratitude to everyone involved in making this all possible and easing the mind of one overwhelmed teacher. Your team's commitment to customer satisfaction is evident, and I will certainly sing the praises of Sheehy Subaru to all my friends, family, coworkers, and anyone I come across for their future car-buying or service needs. Once again, thank you for your kindness and generosity. It is greatly appreciated, and I am forever grateful. Warm regards, Julie A.

Sheehy Subrau of Springfield Wow! You and your staff are amazing! Sheehy Subaru of Springfield supported another great entity within the community in partnership with Operation Hope to help provide coats to children of need in the Fairfax, VA area. They donated more than 120 coats for all youth ages during the event. The Sheehy Subaru staff came to the Culmore Resource Center and personally distributed the coats to each child who participated in the event. While they waited they were also invited to refreshments to create a more delightful time while waiting on being sized for their coats. The children and their families were very happy to have a warm, good quality, new coat. Most of our community members do not typically receive new clothes so it is extremely exciting for them when they receive a new item. It is also wonderful for those we serve to know that there are caring individuals in our communities! Again, thank you! Ann Hill Second Story
Subaru Retailers Team Up to Support Hurricane Relief Efforts - Jess M
At Sheehy Subaru, were always ready to step up and support our communities, especially in times of crisis. This commitment is at the heart of the Subaru Love Promise®. When Hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated the Eastern region, Subaru retailers like us immediately sprang into action. Alongside other Subaru retailers, Subaru of America, and local organizations, we assessed the most urgent needs in the affected areas. It quickly became clear that local food banks were struggling to keep up with the surge in demand as they worked to support people hit hardest by the storms. In response, we teamed up with 67 Subaru retailers across the region to launch a $400,000 match campaign to aid the hurricane relief efforts of Feeding America®. Sheehy Subaru proudly contributed $2500 to this initiative. While the immediate impact of the storms fades from the headlines, many of our neighbors continue to face long-term challenges like food insecurity, water shortages, power outages, and limited access to essential services. Thanks to the collective generosity of Subaru retailers and the communities we serve, an additional $18,427 was raised. This brings the total impact to $418,427, or over 4,100,000 meals for those in need. "As one of the nation's largest disaster relief organizations, the Feeding America network of food banks and partner agencies is deeply rooted in communities across the country. Together, our partnership with trusted Subaru dealers has helped expedite emergency food assistance and supplies to people who need it most. We are immensely grateful," said Feeding America Chief Development Officer Casey Marsh.
Vinnie's Inova Children's story - Kirstin M
As shared by Vinnie's mom. "On November 9, 2022, shortly after our 20-week ultrasound, we found out our babys heart didnt develop as expecteda message delivered very carefully by our Inova Childrens pediatric cardiologist. Paralyzed, our heads spun, and our hearts sank. But there was hope. From that moment on, our Inova Childrens team never left our side, helping us figure out the path ahead through every obstacle. They prepared us with a plan so that when Vinnie joined us on February 16, 2023, we were as ready as possible to save his life. Over the next four months, the team became familycaring for Vinnie with the constant goal of ensuring the best outcome and giving us steady hope and support at every turn. Our Inova Childrens family is the reason Vinnie sailed through his big open-heart surgery in June 2023 with as short a recovery as possible and no complications, no surprises. And our Inova Childrens team continue to protect and empower Vinnie, from regular cardiology follow ups and procedures that buy him time before his next open-heart surgery, to the celebratory milestones they remind us of along the way. As a family, my family and our Inova Childrens family, were now celebrating one year of Vinnies new heartbeat and the miraculous way he responded to life-saving strategies. Every child should have the chance that Vinnie has had, to have an Inova Childrens family cheer them on and go beyond the call to deliver new hope and life." Thank you Sheehy Subaru for helping support our team members and families at Inova Children's.
Thank you, Sheehy Subaru, for helping us care for our smallest patients at Inova Children's! - Kirstin M
Harvey was born a Heart Warrior! For the first 32 days of his life, Harvey was never more than 3 feet from his bed. A life-sustaining network of cables, IVs and oxygen tubes kept him close to home base at all times. This is where the "Child Life" Program, and the specialists within it, played such a crucial role as part of the care team at Inova Children's. When Harvey was a newborn they helped bring normalcy to his extremely abnormal situation as possible. They helped us make ink prints of his feet and hands, celebrated milestones and holidays, tasks that would have been simple at home but were daunting for first time parents in the hospital with a complicated newborn. As Harvey got older the Child Life team provided a mobile to help keep him calm in his hospital bed and eventually toys to play with and a play mat to crawl on while he recovered from surgery. Along the way the Child Life Specialist in the Cardiac Unit was there to be a shoulder to cry on during setbacks and a teammate to celebrate the wins. She brought books, helped soothe Harvey during blood draws and was there to sing him to sleep in the operating room. We are so grateful to Sheehy Subaru for supporting Inova Children's and our Child Life Team!

Sheehy Subaru Honors Jordynn's Memory - Trevor R
On behalf of our family, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sheehy Subaru of Springfield for their incredibly kind gesture in memory of our daughter, Jordynn. The plaque donated to Inova Children's Hospital, where Jordynn received such compassionate care, means more to us than words can express.

We are so grateful to be part of a community and company that cares deeply about family and legacy. Thank you for honoring Jordynn in such a meaningful way. - Trevor and Kim
Taking care of our youngest community members - Kirstin M
Inova Children's provides the highest quality of specialized care for the youngest patients in the communities we serve. Take Asher's story, for example, Asher was rushed to Inova's Pediatric Emergency Room battling acute respiratory distress after a severe choking incident involving strawberries and nuts. Thanks to the expert care of the entire Inova Children's team, he was swiftly admitted and placed on ECMO, a heart-lung machine to take over heart and lung functions. This life-saving intervention was crucial for the 18-month-old. Today, Asher is a thriving three year old, a testament to the exceptional care he received. Sheehy Subaru's support helps us to continue this vital work, ensuring every child receives the compassionate and expert care they deserve.

Heartfelt Thankyou from Garfield Elementary - Adam E
This is our 5th year anniversary partnering with Sheehy Subaru of Springfield, VA. With the Subaru Loves to Learn initiative, in conjunction with the Sheehy Subaru partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, Garfield Elementary School received a generous donation that directly benefited our students. Teachers were able to purchase items for their classrooms that aided in students learning experiences this school year. There where gift boxes which contained items such as post it notes, pens, pencils dry erase boards and many other well needed supplies to distribute throughout the school. We are incredibly grateful for the coordination and outreach done by Sheehy Subaru to make such a positive impact at Garfield. Our teachers and staff felt extra special when Sheehy Subaru treated them to a beginning of the year breakfast with all the coffee and doughnuts that could be consumed to kick off another successful school year. Its encouraging when members of our community share in our mission to educate young learners. Thank you so much Sheehy Subaru! We appreciate your generosity and support of Garfield Elementary School!
Title IX and Making a difference - Adam E
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The impact of Title IX on womens sports is significant. The law opened doors and removed barriers for girls and women, and while female athletes and their sports programs still have fewer teams, fewer scholarships, and lower budgets than their male counterparts, since Title IXs passage, female participation at the high school level has grown by 1057 percent and by 614 percent at the college level. I would like to take the time to recognize Sheehy Subaru of Springfield, Virginia and Adam Edwards. Together, these two partners have made significant donations totaling just under three thousand dollars over the past two years. Temple Womens Gymnastics team sent out a call to its audience and Sheehy Subaru and The Edwards Family answered the call! These funds went to help promote, train and instill the true meaning of placing womans sports on a level playing field with regards to its male counterparts. With these funds, they where also earmarked to upgrade aging equipment, additional safety training for coaches, and other team related expenses. I would like to acknowledge Sheehy Subaru of Springfield, VA once again! I couldnt be more pleased with the abundance of support. Not only where they very instrumental with donating much needed funds. They were very instrumental in helping volunteer for Temple University gymnastics camps, Philadelphia outreach events and moral support for these amazing young women. Title IX created a more equal playing field for male and female athletes, something that did not exist before. It finally allowed women to get the recognition they deserved. In a society with a long history of sexism, advances of this magnitude for gender equality are crucial in beginning to reverse deeply-embedded sexism. We would like to take the time and Thank Sheehy Subaru of Springfield, Virginia and the Edwards family of making a difference in not only Temple Woman Gymnastics but a true difference within the community.

Warm Feet for all to LOVE! - Adam E
Sheehy Subaru Of Springfield kindly donated 500 pairs of socks to ECHO Inc. (Ecumenical Community Helping Others) in Springfield Virginia back in April of 2023.

Thanks to Subaru and its Love Promise initiative, we are very thankful to have a community partner at Sheehy Subaru of Springfield. Socks are love!

Sheehy Subaru of Springfield stands by its Love Promise for ECHO - Adam E
In 2023, Sheehy Subaru of Springfield once again stepped up to help their neighbors in the Springfield and Burke, Virginia communities. For the tenth consecutive year, the dealership made generous contributions to the local 501 (c)(3) organization, ECHO. Ecumenical Community Helping Others is a 100% volunteer organization that has assisted neighbors needing a helping hand since 1968. Thanks to the Sheehy challenge, ECHO exceeded its Food Giving Challenge. On Tuesday Nov. 22 the Sheehy's generous assistance will help ECHO's goal of providing food for the needs of the 1,200 plus families seeking food relief in 2023. Sheehy Subaru sponsored a food drive that resulted in 487 pounds of donated food. This beat the previous year goal by almost 100 lbs. This very generous donations of food contributed to the 315,270 pounds of food! ECHO's weights and measurements don't tell the whole story. One recently unemployed mother loaded her donated groceries in her car in tears. As she expressed her gratitude for the abundant food, she shared that with today's inflation things are tough for everyone. The counselor encouraged her to return for help from ECHO and to come back for clothing. Perhaps this much needed help might allow her to provide some household relief. This would not be possible if not from great community corporate sponsors like Sheehy Subaru.

Exceptional Service - Olivia M
This morning I spent two long, boring hours at my local Subaru dealership. I went in because a button on my tailgate wasnt working properly. I watched customers come and go and I still waited. Well, when my car was ready, Trevor walked me to my car, showed me how they fixed the button, and sincerely offered future assistance if I ever needed it. My annoyance immediately faded. Trevor was polite, thorough and made sure I left with a now-perfect car. I love my 2022 Outback Wilderness (and my 2021 Outback Onyx XTyes I have 2 lol)! It takes me where I need to go, along with my two dogs comfortably in the back. Sometimes I let my two teenage sons ride too. Thank you for a wonderful product and a wonderful company. I trust Trevor at Sheehy Subaru in Springfield, VA, with both of my Outbacks, even if I have to wait. The Outback Wilderness is my 4th Subaru and I couldnt be happier.
