THANK YOU FROM LLS, CITYSIDE SUBARU! - Tasha M
For the past 10 years, Subaru of America and its retailers have partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. The partnership has involved delivering blankets, patient care kits, and messages of hope to cancer patients across the country. On June 24th, Cityside Subaru personally delivered these items to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. These blankets, patient care kits, and messages of hope provide warmth and comfort to patients in treatment. The love and support shared through this cherished partnership means a lot to everyone involved! This year, Cityside Subaru also opted to support the LLS Urgent Need Program, which will provide blood cancer patients financial relief to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, utilities, etc. Thank you for your commitment to supporting your community as well as the LLS mission to create a world without blood cancer and improve the quality of life for patients and their families!
Cityside Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Nate R
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Belmont, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Cityside Subaru is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like Cityside Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/23/2025, Cityside Subaru donated 300 coats to Watertown Housing Authority. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.
Loves to Care - Sierra M
Thank you so much for your generous donation of 80 blankets and 10 patient care kits. Patients will absolutely love them! Your commitment to helping our patients is really appreciated. Thanks to donors like you, patients in need can receive what they require. Your kindness is felt by many. Again, thank you for all you continue to do for our organization.
Belmont Education - Amanda L
Cityside Subaru of Belmont has long supported FBE as an Investor in Education, our highest level of sponsorship, and since 2012 has been the Platinum Supporter of the FBE’s annual Apple Run fundraiser (previously named the Dan Scharfman’s Memorial Run). We are extremely appreciative of Cityside Subaru’s commitment to help the FBE in our mission to support and promote excellence in Belmont public schools. Thank you, Cityside Subaru of Belmont, for all your generous donations through the years, your steadfast dedication to the town of Belmont and the Belmont Public Schools, and for this year’s incredible Subaru Share the Love donation of $33,500. The FBE is an independent, non-profit organization run by local volunteers who are dedicated to improving educational opportunities for Belmont’s students. The FBE awards grants to teachers and staff for a diverse array of projects, from small grants that benefit a single classroom to large programs designed to benefit students in an entire grade, school, or district wide. FBE grants are awarded in all school curriculum areas, special initiatives, and professional development. Grants for the 2024-2025 school year included awards to revitalize elementary school libraries, enable teachers to learn from experts in education and attend professional development at the Massachusetts Reading Association Language & Literacy Conference, purchase high tech laboratory equipment for biology classes at Belmont High School and, as a special initiative for over $60,000, assist the district-wide implementation of new math curriculum in grades K-6. Together, Cityside Subaru of Belmont and the Foundation for Belmont Education are making a difference for over 4,400 children in the Belmont Public Schools.
Lone Tree Hill Cleanup - Radha I
Thank you for your generous gift to help support the Belmont Citizens Forum’s 11th Annual Lone Tree Hill Volunteer Day that was held on April 26, 2025, in conjunction with the Judy Record Conservation Fund. This year, despite the steady rain, our volunteers accomplished a lot. We had two different work sites, one at the Meadow Edge Trail and the Pine Allee for planting white pine saplings and invasives removal, and a second at the Coal Road on Pleasant Street for trash and invasives removal. At the Meadow Edge Trail, volunteers removed garlic mustard and planted 55 white pine saplings and 10 eastern red cedar saplings. At the Pine Allee, volunteers transplanted 7 white pine saplings to replace either dead or missing trees. At the other end of the property, the volunteers collected 10 bags of garlic mustard and trash that included 4 chairs and a table. We greatly appreciate your support of our mission to educate and inform community residents about important local issues and to help improve our town. Also, thank you to Glen and Mike (CitySide Volunteers) for helping pick up trash and removing invasive plants on the property.
Plympton Elementary Loves CitySide Subaru - Adrienne N
Good morning, Thank you so much! We are so appreciative of your generosity! The money given to teachers allows them to purchase things for their classrooms that are not in our budget. They love being able to shop for items that make the learning spaces better for students. The boxes of supplies were such an amazing surprise! We handed out some yesterday afternoon and will be surprising more teachers today. People kept saying things like, "These are EXPO markers! For real?!" and "Actual brand name Post-it notes?! That aren't yellow?!" You were so very thoughtful with your choices and it is very much appreciated! Thank you again!

Celebrating $1.5M Raised to Make Wishes Come True - Peg W
Over the past 13 years, Make-A-Wish has been both honored and grateful to partner with our Subaru of New England Retailers as one of the four national charity partners of the Share the Love campaign. We are thrilled to share that following this year’s results, the combined support of our local Massachusetts and Rhode Island retailers has just surpassed $1.5 Million for Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island! It is proven that wishes can have a positive impact on the medical outcomes of children facing critical illnesses. A wish experience can improve a child’s quality of life and emotional well-being, while also strengthening families. A wish enables a child to imagine a future that is bright and provides motivation and hope when they need it most. The transformative impact of a wish cannot be overstated, and we depend on the generosity of partners like you to move closer to our vision of granting the wish of every eligible child in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Your support benefits not only a local child and family, but their community as well, reminding every one of us that we are capable of uplifting one another. Thank you Cityside Subaru for your compassionate partnership in bringing hope and joy to local kids.
10th Annual Lone Tree Hill Volunteer Day - Radha I
Thank you Cityside Subaru for volunteering and for your generous gift of $500 to help support the Belmont Citizens Forum’s 10th Annual Lone Tree Hill Volunteer Day that was held on April 27, 2024, in conjunction with the Judy Record Conservation Fund. This year, we had two different work sites, one at the Meadow Edge Trail for planting white pine saplings and invasive removal, and a second at the Coal Road on South Pleasant Street for trash and invasives removal. At the Meadow Edge Trail, volunteers removed garlic mustard and planted 40 white pine saplings. In a few years, the saplings will become a greenery screen for the houses on Summit Road. At the other end of the property, the volunteers (including your group from CitySide Subaru) collected 11 bags of garlic mustard and a total of 20 bags of trash. We greatly appreciate your support of our mission to educate and inform community residents about important local issues and to help improve our town. Again, thank you for your donation to the Belmont Citizens Forum.
