Muscatell Subaru, Essentia Health, LLS
Customers who visited Muscatell Subaru the month of June helped spread the love with messages of hope to cancer patients.
During the month of
June, Muscatell staff encouraged customers to take a moment to write a small note
of encouragement to a cancer patient. In return they could receive a reusable
tote bag. The goal is to provide a little hope & care to patients, one
gesture at a time.
Over the past 2
years, over 70,000 patients have received the blankets, art kits & notes,
in more than 400 hospitals nationwide, from almost 500 Subaru dealerships.
A high point for the
Muscatell team was meeting 2-time cancer survivor, Rhoda Vander Root, Essentia
Cancer Clinic's ambassador. Rhoda's been a patient at Essentia since 2015 and was
a recipient of a note & blanket from Muscatell's in 2016.
As a company, the
team at Muscatell's believe it's important to do our part in making a positive
impact, simply because it's the right thing to do.
Subaru dealers
follow the Subaru Love Promise, which
is the company's vision to love & respect everyone & to support our
community. As a company, Subaru of America has donated over 120 million dollars
over the past 20 years.
It was a fun morning,
with the awesome group at Essentia Health Cancer Clinic, and we hope the
patients enjoy their gifts!
