Years of influence, built on integrity - Mireya S
When I was 16 years old, I was a choir student at a local high school. One of our fundraisers was selling a calendar with advertisements/sponsorships from local businesses. Each of us was assigned certain businesses to contact, and Cascade Subaru was one on my list. I remember calling the dealership, which was about 30 minutes away but still within the same valley, and asking to speak with the marketing manager. The marketing manager was out that day, but the person who answered connected me with the owner, Steve Baldock. I gave Steve my spiel, despite being VERY nervous, and I'll never forget he said, "Come down to the dealership and sell it to me, and I'll see what we can do." I was hesitant at first, but I figured that he was a salesman and he wanted me to pitch it to him, and I could respect that. So, the next day I went into the dealership, asked to speak to Steve, and was directed to his office. I'll never forget this encounter because he taught me an important lesson that day. I walked into his office and, surprised, he said "Wow, you showed up. I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, let's hear it" And so, I gave my best explanation of why my school's choir was fundraising, what it meant to us to be able to perform at competitions, how music was a comfort and escape for some kids, and what community support meant to us. He listened carefully the whole time, and at the end he said "Give me the biggest space you have left available. Young lady, that was quite the pitch. Don't ever lose that passion for what you love, and don't ever forget what it feels like to have your community's support. That will drive you to want to pay it forward one day, and I hope to be around to see it." This happened 22 years ago, and I remember it clear as day. I am now the Co-Director of a Legal Aid Organization in the same town as Cascade Subaru, and recently we were the recipients of this year's Share the Love event. Steve, and now his son Jordan, continue to be some of the most committed, loyal supporters of so many local nonprofits, service providers, and other efforts to increase a sense of true community in our area. They go above and beyond for their customers, their employees, their local partners, and it's just incredible to see that decades into this, they are still operating from a place of unshakeable integrity. During this year's Share the Love, Cascade Subaru was able to raise/donate over $35K to our organization, which is such a massive contribution to our services. The spirit of Cascade Subaru is truly the spirit of community, and I'm so glad to be "around to see it", as Steve said. Picture of some of my team for tax!
For the love of justice! - Eloise B
Cascade Subaru has been so supportive of Chelan Douglas County Volunteer Attorney Services. Our program offers free civil legal services for folks in our community who otherwise could not afford it. Through the Share the Love program, Cascade Subaru became a partner, strengthening the lifeline that legal aid provides and our community deserves. Subaru stands for strength, and as a vehicle that can navigate rough roads. That's what our program does too, helping folks navigate rough roads. We are so grateful for the partnership and for your commitment to this valley!
Cascade Subaru Giving Back, One Step at a Time - Ariana M
Cascade Subaru has proudly partnered with Akin for the past four years in honor of Subaru Loves to Help through their partnership with Operation Warm. This year, Akin hosted a wonderful event featuring hot cocoa and coat distribution, and it turned out to be a huge success!
Popcorn, Cocoa, Cookies and COATS Akin – Wenatchee February 2026 Subaru's Operation Warm Coats - Susan S
Akin's doors were open to families in the communities we serve to join our Akin staff and members of the Cascade Subaru Team for a fun evening and warm coats. Kids one through 18 were able to pick out new winter coats in colors and sizes that were just right for them. Fifty-three coats went home this evening in addition to 98 coats that were given out prior to the event. Smiles, laughter and gratitude was abundant. Akin – grateful for having the opportunity to partner with Cascade Subaru for our third year. Two sisters were giggling that they both got favorite colored coats while their little brother threw popcorn at them. Then the brother got his red coat and the girls said he was a Fireman. Kids did fashion shows with big smiles all around. Adults and kids wrote on a sign that was for Cascade and kids drew happy faces and thumbs up signs. Operation Warm tag line is "more than a coat". Operation Warm focuses on the whole child, providing warmth, confidence, and hope through their basic needs programs that connect underserved children to the community resources they need to thrive. Akin and Cascade Subaru share their goals of serving the needs in our community to provide a network of support to families before they fall into crisis. Being able to provide a coat allows children the opportunity for outdoor play, participating in outdoor events and allows families to spend their resources on food or other basic needs. Together we can all have long-lasting impact on children and our community.
Hot Cocoa and Coats - Penny W
Cascade Subaru team came to deliver coats to our office so we could provide them to local youth needing a warm coat. We had an event on February 12th, Cocoa and Coats where we stayed open late in order provide coats, cocoa and popcorn to children in our area. The cascade team was on hand to help, and we provided more than 50 coats to local youth. Two girls came in with their parents and were happy to have matching coats and even signed our "Thank You" board.

Wenatchee Valley Humane Society and Subaru Loves Pets Adoption Event - Shelby H
On Saturday, September 20th, 2025, Wenatchee Valley Humane Society was proud to partner with Cascade Autocenter, in Wenatchee, WA, for a heartwarming Subaru Loves Pets adoption and community outreach event. Our team brought as many of our available cats and pups as possible, all with one shared goal: to help them find loving, forever homes. Thanks to the incredible turnout and support from the community, 15 pets were adopted that day—each one leaving with a fresh start and a family to call their own. In addition to adoptions, the event allowed us to serve pets already in our community by offering vital services on-site. Together, we provided 10 rabies vaccines, 8 microchips, and 14 pet licenses, helping local pet owners keep their animals healthy, safe, and legally protected. These resources are critical in reducing lost pets and improving overall animal welfare, and we are grateful to have been able to offer them in such an accessible and welcoming environment. We are especially thankful to Cascade Autocenter, who generously covered all adoption fees for animals adopted during the event. Removing that financial barrier truly made a difference and helped several families say "yes" to adoption. A huge thank-you also goes to Karly, whose dedication and hard work were instrumental in making the event such a success—from thoughtful promotion to even filming a commercial featuring our longest-stay pup at the time, Pei Pei. The event looked incredible, ran smoothly, and was filled with positive energy from start to finish. Thank you to Subaru and Cascade Autocenter for their continued support of pets and the people who love them. Partnerships like this make lifesaving work possible, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make this day such a meaningful success for animals and our community. 🐾💙

In 2025, thanks to the generosity and heart of Subaru Wenatchee, 15 pets found their fur-ever families.

We Love Kenroy Elementary! - SALVADOR M
I just wanted to take a moment to share something from the heart. At Cascade Subaru, we do a lot of things —service vehicles, sell cars, and help people find their next adventure — but one thing we care deeply about is learning. We truly believe that every child deserves the chance to grow, explore, and discover the world around them. That’s why being connected to Kenroy Elementary means so much to us. When we think about supporting our community, we think about you — the students who show up every day ready to learn, the teachers who go the extra mile, and the families who cheer everyone on. We love being able to help with school supplies, help with books, or simply show up when we’re needed. Because it’s not just about giving — it’s about believing in you and your potential. You are the future of this valley, and we’re proud to stand beside you. From everyone at Cascade Subaru, thank you for letting us be a small part of your big journey. We’re cheering you on, every step of the way.
