Subaru & Its Dealers Will Help 750,000 Students Across America This Year

As kids prepare to head back to class across the country, Subaru of America is sharing a milestone in its Subaru Loves Learning Initiative. The automaker says this year's program will help provide critical supplies to 750,000 students in high-needs schools nationwide. 

Subaru says in its fourth year partnering with AdoptAClassroom.org, it and more than 630 of its retailers will continue to provide access to the critical supplies and resources that teachers need to help their students succeed in the classroom. Subaru is the largest corporate partner of AdoptAClassroom.org

Affording school supplies is a big problem for many families these days.  According to AdoptAClassroom.org, 92% of teachers nationwide have students whose families cannot afford to purchase school supplies for their children. The nonprofit says teachers spend an average of $860 per year to help provide for their classrooms.

Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc.: "At Subaru, we believe that every student deserves a fair opportunity at a quality education. We are incredibly proud of the progress achieved in supporting over 750,000 students, and we know the importance of continuing to support students and teachers around the country to have the best learning environment possible."

Along with working to help students in high-needs schools by providing teachers across the country with funding to purchase these supplies and resources, Subaru says many of its participating retailers will also be donating school supply kits with materials that are highly requested by teachers.

Ann Pifer, Executive Director of AdoptAClassroom.org:  "This record number of students being supported would not be possible without the help of the Subaru community. We are grateful to extend our partnership with Subaru for a fourth year in a row and sincerely thank Subaru and its retailers for the difference they make in the lives and educational opportunities of students and teachers around the country."

To kick off the 2024 program, Subaru says it will continue to support students in the Camden City School District (CCSD) by once again adopting all kindergarten to fifth grade (K-5) classrooms near the automaker's headquarters in Camden, NJ. This latest hometown effort will impact over 2,090 students and 122 classrooms across eight different schools. Subaru says adopting every elementary school in the CCSD is just one of the many ways it continues to do its part to be More Than a Car Company for its community.
