Subaru Owner Spotlight

Beginning this month, we will feature a testimonial from a Subaru customer about why they love their Subaru! Since it's a new feature on our blog, we are starting off this month with our receptionist, Brandy Thompson, explaining why she is a loyal Subaru customer.

In Brandy's own words:

I bought my first Subaru Legacy in July of 08. I took one for a test drive, not really looking to purchase one, but the AWD Legacy just blew my other car (a 2006 Pontiac G6) out of the water. It was a much smoother ride and I actually enjoyed driving it. After the test drive, I was sold! I bought my white Legacy a few days later. I never really felt safe driving in the rain in my Pontiac G6 but with my Legacy I have never felt safer.

I just purchased a new 2010 Legacy and I am loving the new body style and how much roomier it is. The one thing I will say is that my 2010 Legacy is much more luxurious looking on the inside than my old 2008; the inside was just a little plain to me in my 2008. It was functional and nice, don't get me wrong, but the new 2010 feels much more luxurious to me! I had the option to get seat warmers in my new car and it was probably the best decision I could have made--it makes it much more comfortable to ride in on those chilly days. I got the Ruby Red Pearl color this time and I love it! I can't imagine myself driving anything other than a Subaru!

Back to School Back Pack Program

The Back to School Back Pack Program is a non-profit charitable company created in 2007 by Steve Kendrick. Steve founded the charity out of a desire to give to those who are in need; especially the innocent victims that are unable to help themselves. He noticed how much pride a child associates with his or her personal belongings, especially a backpack, and from there the Program was born. The Program is now in its fourth year and provides backpacks filled with basic hygiene products and school supplies to many of the homeless children in Gwinnett County. As a dealership and with the help of members of our community, we work together to raise funds for our program. We also take a hands-on approach as we stuff each backpack ourselves. In our first three years, we purchased and stuffed almost 4,500 backpacks for homeless children of all ages in Gwinnett County.

Some of the organizations that benefited from our first two years of donating are Gwinnett Children's Shelter, DFCS, IMPACT, Norcross Co-Op, PADV, the Gwinnett County School Social Services, and the Salvation Army. As an organization, we strongly desire to help those in need and hope to offer a positive action in the lives of the children we help.

If you'd like to get involved, there are a number of ways you can contribute to our foundation. Our fundraising efforts begin with our Wine tasting and Shoe event on June 17th at Infiniti of Gwinnett & our Annual Charity Golf Tournament to be held on Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 at the Hamilton Golf Club. From now until August, we will be selling raffle tickets for a week-long cruise across the Eastern Carribean! You can get more details on these events at our webpage:
