Frederick Maryland is not the biggest city in Maryland. At Frederick Subaru, we believe our city has the biggest heart in Maryland, which makes the Subaru Love Promise a perfect fit for our community. Frederick citizens are quick to rally behind one another and the community for support and charitable relief. Whenever we hear about a good cause outside of our regular Love Promise events, we’re quick to lend a helping hand. During the month of October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we partnered with a local family charity, The Hurwitz Breast Cancer Fund, a fund of The Frederick Memorial Hospital. The Hurwitz Breast Cancer fund holds annual 5k and Gala events funded via charitable donations, our goal was to bring awareness and funding to support this great cause based out of and started by Frederick Maryland locals. Frederick Subaru gave employees the chance to purchase a custom-made pink Breast Cancer Awareness shirt and wear it on Fridays during the Month of October, if an employee wore the shirt, they’d donate funds to the Hurwitz Fund and Frederick Subaru, part of the Frederick Motor Company then matched donations collected by employees and donated the additional funds to the Hurwitz Breast Cancer Charity. Some accomplishments of The Hurwitz fund in the past decade include… • Funds help make the new James M Stockman Cancer Institute a reality for cancer patients in our community. • A special breast coil was purchased for use with digital imaging of the breast. • 3D & CAD Mammography Systems have been purchased to assist in the detection of breast cancer at an earlier stage; allowing for more successful outcomes. • Supported a Breast Cancer Symposium and other group events for patients. • Created a healing space for patients and families at the Center for Breast Care at FMH Crestwood. • Purchased a device that enables the surgeon and radiologist to examine biopsy tissue in the operating room; this makes biopsies easier on the patient and returns results more quickly. Frederick Subaru is proud to support causes like this and many more through our community outreach with the Subaru Love Promise in mind.

Frederick Subaru partnered with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for the second year to spread a little love and care. Customers and employees at Frederick Subaru joined by the Maryland Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma delivered 80 warm blankets, 30 messages of hope, and 12 arts and craft kits to those suffering with cancer. "There are different places that they focus on for community service, and this one is the second year now providing these blankets to these patients. It's good to see the smiles on their faces,"" said Patrick Blackwood, Subaru Sales Manager, Frederick Subaru. And the patients and staff appreciate their kind gestures. ""While they are receiving chemo, they are usually cold. We do provide blankets, but they were nice enough to bring blankets that they can take home with them, and the messages were definitely touching their hearts"" said Amber Shahab, Office Manager, Frederick Oncology Hematology Associates. The dealership has an event to give back each quarter. ""Customers come in, and they have the opportunity to just write notes of encouragement to these folks, just letting them know that they are here thinking about them, they are praying for them, and they want to make sure they get better,"" said Blackwood. http://www.localdvm.com/news/i-270/frederick-subaru-leukemia-lymphoma-society-deliver-gestures-of-warmth-hope/758608540
