Diablo Subaru Giving Multiplied - Courtney B
On behalf of our board, staff, and the students we serve, thank you for sponsoring AND attending our Annual Color of Impact Benefit to help provide high-quality backpacks, books, and school supplies to under-resourced youth across the Bay Area. Your support of local non-profits is absolutely amazing and we are so grateful to be one of them! Because of your help to make our event possible, we raised over $100,000, which will help us provide thousands of students with the tools and confidence they need to learn and thrive in school and life. A backpack is not seen as a utilitarian supply to a child and as such, should not be given in that way. Instead, it is received as a statement that they matter and that they are believed in. When high quality, it is a vessel they wear proudly and that gives them higher confidence in themselves and in their abilities. A student's self-worth is what drives their education success and through Diablo Subaru of Walnut Creek's commitment to donate high-quality products, your giving creates a deep and sustainable impact that you should be extremely proud of. For many parents, the choice to put food on the table or purchase school supplies for their child(ren) is a nightmare they have to relive year after year with the excruciating conclusion -- over and over again -- that they will not be able to provide for their child(ren) in this way. With education budgets cut and teachers left to fill in the supply gaps, many kids lack the most basic of homework supplies. Thanks to you, thousands of students will be equipped with inspiring backpacks and school supplies and things like attendance, homework completion rates, grades, and test scores will all improve -- one child at a time. We can't thank you enough for this tremendous impact on our work and community at large! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our mission and making a lasting impact.
Busch Found His Forever Home - Rosanna Salgado M
Dear Pedro, We sincerely appreciate Diablo Subaru of Walnut Creek's generous $4,000 adoption event sponsorship oron October 18, 2025. We are thrilled to report that we had a total of 19 adoptions for the day at both Diablo Subaru and on the Joybound campus! Early in the event, a family with two young daughters came to meet Busch, a beautiful 3-year-old Siberian Husky. The family also loved Breeze, a 1-yearold Labrador Shepherd mix, but had a hard time picking between the two dogs since they were both so great with their kids. They stayed for the entire event, interacting with the two dogs to help them decide. Ultimately, they chose Busch and were thrilled to welcome him to his new forever home. Because of caring friends like you, we're creating a community where every pet has a loving home, every person can experience the transformative power of animal companionship, and families have the support they need to thrive together. Your extraordinary kindness continues to spread joy today and for years to come as these beautiful bonds between humans and animals flourish and countless new stories of hope and healing are written. With gratitude, Rosanna Salgado McDonald Senior Director of Philanthroру
Leadville 100 Athlete Sponsorship - Zachary T
In the beginning of the year, I signed up for my first 100 mile race, the renowned Leadville 100! I've done other endurance events in the past, but nothing quite like this. 100 miles, 15,500 ft elevation gain, averaging 10,000+ ft altitude, 30 hrs to complete, halfway across the country, in Leadville,CO, highest city in the US - And Diablo Subaru helped me get there and get through! This trip meant the world to me, and my Subaru held strong, getting me through - The 18hr road trip (both ways), the mountainous terrain of the course for exploring and crewing during the race, and the icing on the cake, out to the lake where I proposed to my (now) fiancé! A lot goes into a trip like this, travel time, lodging, food, gas, hours upon hours of training. And I just want to give a huge thank you Diablo Subaru for their parts in funding the journey by helping with the travel and stay. Every bit helps,and this made a huge difference in making this trip happen and allowing it to be the full experience I hoped for!

Thank You for Sharing the Love - Shirley W
Dear Pedro and Diablo Subaru of Walnut Creek, Thank you for your generous gift of $16,587.50 for the Subaru Named Scholarship on March 13,2025. For over fifty years, the Foundation has, with gifts like yours, awarded scholarships to students who otherwise would find it very difficult to afford higher education. Chosen by our trustees, they all have a history of high academic achievement, financial need, service in the community, a variety of high school activities, and for many, paid work experience. By any measure they show great promise, which is borne our in the many letters we receive from them years later, relating their college and work success. Coming from backgrounds of limited education, many tell us that the scholarship also gave them the emotional support they needed to make the leap into higher education. Again, many thanks for your recent gift towards sending another student on his or her way to a higher education. Thank you for continuing to support our local students yours is a very meaningful gift. Sincerely, Shirley A. Wiegand, President
