Supporting Local History - Nicole H
Eric and the entire team at North Country Subaru have been consistent supporters of the Chapman Museum and our Wine and Chocolate fundraising event. Year after year, I know I can count on Eric to come through for the Museum, no matter what we need to make this important event a success. As we look ahead to 2026 and celebrate the 20th anniversary of Wine and Chocolate, it is especially meaningful to recognize that North Country Subaru has supported this fundraiser for many of those years, always with a generous contribution. Their long-standing commitment has helped shape the event into what it is today. Wine and Chocolate is the Museum's largest fundraiser of the year, and its success directly supports our ability to offer engaging public programs for children, families, and adults throughout the year. Because of sponsors like North Country Subaru, we can ensure that all children's programs remain free of charge and accessible to our community. We simply could not serve our community at the level we do without the partnership and generosity of local businesses like theirs, and we are very grateful for their continued support and belief in the Chapman Museum's mission.
Under the Woods Foundation receives funding to support grant program - Heidi U
Under the Woods Foundation has been honored the support of the Lendrum family and the Love Promise. The support has directly impacted the children and families in our local community. This year UTWF was able to support Corinth, Abraham Wing and Warrensburg Elementary special education classrooms. These classrooms were awarded sensory and learning materials to support children's learning. Lake George High School Life Skills Program was awarded funds to create a mock apartment. The classroom received a refrigerator, stove, table and cooking equipment to foster growth and independence of their students. The Kringle Cottage, a safe and warm environment for children to have an experience with Santa, was awarded a variety of sensory/toy gifts for each child who attended. Additionally, UTWF granted Hippo Therapy lessons to two children at A Dapple A Day, provided the funds for two children to have swim lessons, purchased a stroller for a child with adaptive needs and financially supported a child during a three week intensive therapy program. From the bottom of our hearts we are very grateful for the continued support of the Lendrum' s and the Love Promise.
SUNY Adirondack Student Success Fund - Kris D

More than 90% of SUNY Adirondack graduates stay and work in the region, so North Country Subaru's support is yet another example of their care and love of the communities they serve.
Riley's Village - Melinda W
2016 was the most difficult time of our life. Our son was involved in a serious ski accident in February which took him to a Vermont Hospital. He never regained consciousness and passed away March 2016. Thru our grief, we searched for a purpose. Sitting in our sons hospital room we observed the most caring and compassionate professionals fight for our son and support our family. The nurses worked tirelessly day after day. On our sons last day, many nurses who had been with us during our time at the hospital, stayed past their shift to hold our hands and cry with us. When we left the hospital, we knew our purpose was to support Nursing Education and Front Line Workers. Their compassion for their patients and families is unmatched. From our tragedy, we established The Rileys Village Foundation. We came up with this name because of the Village that surrounded us at the time of our sons accident and continue to support us to this day. Initially we reached out to Eric Lendrum and North Country Subaru to participate in our Charity Golf Tournament to raise funds for Nursing Education. After getting to know Eric and Jared Lendrum and North Country Subaru, he approached us regarding Subarus Share the Love campaign to be their home town charity recipient. North County Subaru believed in our passion to support nurses and front line workers so a partnership and friendship was born. Throughout the 9 years of our involvement with Share The Love campaign, North Country Subaru and the Lendrum family has provided generous funding to establish multiple scholarships for nurses at the Vermont Hospital where our son was hospitalized, the nursing program at SUNY Adirondack, Glens Falls Hospital ER nurses and Hudson Headwaters Health Network nursing program.The funding allows for initial nursing education, continued nursing education, advanced training for nurses in their specialties and supporting front line workers with recognition of a job well done. When we award scholarships to up and coming nurses or nurses who are seeking advanced training in their specialities, they feel valued and proud of their profession. Thank you North Country Subaru and the Lendrum family for believing in our mission and honoring our sons memory.
Amazing Support - Brandon E
As someone who loves to ride mountain bikes at Gurney Lane, Ive seen firsthand how much care and effort goes into keeping the trail system in great shape. The ongoing support from North Country Subaru and the Lendrum Brothers has been a huge part of that. Their love for outdoor recreation isnt just something they talk aboutits something they show up for. The Lendrum brothers and the North Country Subaru team have volunteered their time to help remove downed trees, leaf-blow trails, and pitch in wherever needed to keep Gurney Lane safe, fun, and welcoming for riders, runners, and families. In the winter, their commitment goes even further. By donating and operating a snow groomer, theyve helped transform Gurney Lane into a four-season playground where our community can enjoy fat-tire biking and cross-country skiing on beautifully groomed trails. Its incredible to see how many people now get outside year-round because these trails are so well cared for. The Lendrum Brothers and North Country Subaru dont just sponsor our outdoor spacesthey live them, love them, and make sure the rest of us can, too.

Lucky Puppy Best Day Ever at North Country Subaru - Rebecca E
North Country Subaru has partnered with The Lucky Puppy Rescue, our local animal welfare organization located in Argyle, NY to help support shelter pets in our community through the Subaru Loves Pets® initiative. Lucky Puppy Rescue planned to bring several of it's available pups to North Country Subaru during Subaru Love's Pets Campaign for National Make A Dogs Day in October. Last year, approximately 6.5 million animals entered shelters in the U.S, according to the ASPCA®. Many of these animals live day after day without the love of a family or a home. Subaru and its retailers like us believe all pets deserve a loving home and thats why we are the largest corporate donor to the ASPCA. Subaru and its retailers like us believe all pets deserve a loving home and thats why we are the largest corporate donor to the ASPCA. The Lucky Puppy Rescue was a fortunate recipient of ASPCA funding for the first time in 2024. North Country Subaru hosted an adoption event, food and supply drive and employees volunteered their time and laps to welcome our pups on October 19th. Through this effort, we were able to support six dogs to be adopted, donation of new pet parent kits and Suba-chew toys and countless bags of much needed dog food, leashes, chew bones and treats for our pups back at the shelter. On the day of the event, a last minute swap was made by a Lucky Puppy Volunteer who would be attending the event. She decided her favorite and long-time resident of the shelter, Zander should attend instead of one of the young pups. She thought it might be his lucky day and that turned out to be the case. Zander, an adult hound mix who spent over 80 days in the shelter got his last ride in the shelter van when he hopped on to attend the event at North Country Subaru. A couple who attended noticed that he was so calm and well behaved in a crowd of people, he played nicely with the young pups who had tons of energy and excitement for the event and he walked so gently on the leash when they took him for a trial walk around the dealership. Zander headed back to the shelter only briefly for his official adoption paperwork to be completed and found a loving home thanks to the Subaru Loves Pets event and we cant thank them enough for their hospitality, generosity and for all of the pets and love they showed our pups.
Healing Horse Tales - Krista S
This love promise story comes from a place in my heart of overwhelming gratitude. I am a 30+ year Physical Therapist who did not grow up around horses. After my husband passed away 6 years ago, I began searching for new areas to grow, and found myself volunteering at A Dapple A Day Equine Center( ADADEC). This is where my journey begins- shoveling out stalls, sidewalking for the owner during her therapeutic riding sessions, and various horse care. I quickly became drawn to the special healing touch that the horses instilled on clients, as well as on myself. I wanted to be a part of this healing resource and join in with this amazing barn family. I wanted to learn as much as I could about horses. From there, I began pursuing a specialty in utilizing the horse's coordinated, rhythmic movements in Physical Therapy. I earned my National Certification through the American Hippotherapy Association. Once I became certified, I gradually started establishing my LLC with plans to begin offering services at ADADEC. However, I realized that I needed adaptive equipment for clients . This was daunting because adaptive equipment is expensive and this was a new environment which I had no funding. I learned about The Under the Woods Foundation through a colleague, and I applied with my " Wish List". I never expected my wish to be granted.... so when I discovered that A Dapple A Day was selected, I was overjoyed! I then shared the news with the owner of ADADEC and my therapy team. Your gift provided the physical support for the client, and mentally, boosted my confidence and motivation as a new PT in this arena. My therapy team was thrilled as well, which positively impacted the whole unit. Because of your generosity, one of our clients, who is not able to hold onto reins due to having hemiplegia, is able to be stable and centered through the use of a surcingle. The surcingle provides her midline support in which she is able to work on a variety of exercises. Additionally, she is able to work on sit to stand transitions while only being on a bareback pad with adjustable stirrups. Due to the ability to use the bareback pad, with the support of the surcingle, she completes 10 repetitions of sit <-> stand transitions. Bareback pads are ideal because, the client receives the horse's input more effectively than in a saddle. The adjustable stirrups allow the ideal position to experience weight bearing through her affected side. With this safe, optimal positioning, she is receiving the most beneficial form of input which improves her overall weightbearing, strength, balance, and coordination. Other items which were gifted included balance equipment- balance beams, stepping wedges , which are used as assessment tools for the preliminary Physical Therapy evaluation. Positioning wedges will be used for seating and a gait belt to ensure safety while on the horse. A double handle surcingle has been purchased and will be used as one of my client progress. ( I have not been able to take any photographs with the client that uses the surcingle, however, I have attached a photo of one of our volunteers using the surcingle. The other pictures are of one of my clients using the bareback pad only . He will be using stirrups when he progresses with his strength and stability. *** Please note, I have worked to adjust the size of the submitted photographs, however, could not fit to scale. I did include them for you to be able to see the bareback pad and the positioning.***) Ultimately, my dream and passion is to grow in my practice in order to be able to provide healing for a variety of clients with multiple diagnoses, ranging in age. Research indicates that the use of equine movement improves overall coordination, balance, strength, functional mobility, and motor planning. The horse provides 3,000 repetitions over a 30 minute session. As a clinician , I can not manually provide 3,000 repetitions in 30 minutes. I have witnessed the success during my final course in Indiana with our assigned client. I am so very excited to be able to provide this amazing service to our community and my aim is to continue to learn , develop , and grow as a Physical Therapist in this field. Your amazing gift has enabled me to set forth on a firm foundation with safe and effective adaptive and assessment equipment. I am humbled and honored to be a recipient. I would invite you to come to our barn to witness the sessions. You are making a significant difference in children's lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Respectfully, Krista Strafford, PT AHCB Hippotherapy Certified Therapist
My Subaru Family - Linda D
I moved to the Queensbury area in 1989 and was driving a Subaru then. I looked for a dealer in the area and found North Country. My first visit there and it felt like home. There was something about the people who worked there and the owners that made everyone welcome. I traded my older Subaru in and bought a new one that year. That was the start of my extended Subaru family. Since that time I have never driven anything but a Subaru and have never bought one from a dealership other than North Country. They have been there for myself and now all of my family. The retention that they have with their employees speaks volumes for their honesty and business ethics. I serve on a Board of Directors that awarded an Ethics in Business award in the area and North Country won the award in the early years and was consistently nominated year after year by community members for the next 7 years. There are many ways they have touched the lives of folks in our area without seeking credit for doing so. I can truly say I love my dealership as much as my car.

Jackson Heights - Ryan E
Northcountry Subaru's incredible support has continued to grow our school's learning environment across every grade level. Their generosity has touched each student through investments in education. Our youngest learners now explore with learning toys and STEM activities that spark curiosity, while first-grade classrooms are equipped with essential materials like construction paper, flexible seating, and math manipulatives that help make learning engaging. Second-grade students benefit from expanded classroom library resources and innovative learning tools, and third-grade classrooms now feature flexible seating and learning manipulatives that support diverse educational needs. This support goes beyond physical materials it's about believing in our students' potential and strengthening the future of Glens Falls. Northcountry Subaru has shown that true community support means investing in our children's growth, creativity, and learning potential. Their commitment demonstrates how local businesses can make a profound difference in education, one classroom at a time.
Thunder 5k Run/Walk - Melissa D
The Glens Falls Civic Center Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) with the goal of providing funds for capital improvements to the Cool Insuring Arena. It was founded in June of 2003 by Paul Pontiff. Paul was a founding member of the Glens Falls Civic Center Foundation in 2003 because, like all of his charitable pursuits, he saw a need in the community and instinctively wanted to help. He had a vision to gather community leaders to devote their expertise and efforts to fundraising in support of capital projects at the Glens Falls Civic Center (now known as the Cool Insuring Arena). Paul was a tremendous and tireless leader who was able to garner the support of our community to help preserve and improve the arena, which he considered one of our communitys greatest assets. He was the founder and first President of the Foundation but, more importantly, he worked side by side with his fellow board members to ensure the Foundations success from 2003 until his passing. Paul loved hockey, Glens Falls, and the Warren County area and would do anything he could to see that the three joined forces and were successful. Today we continually raise funs to help support the arena and updates. A couple of the updates include safety netting behind hockey goals, safety handrail, seat replacement, improvements to Heritage Hall including bathrooms. We have also donated tickets to the Glens Falls Youth Center and Big Brother Big Sisters so everyone can come and enjoy a night out and some hockey. North Country Subaru has continually supported our yearly Thunder 5k Run/Walk and there generous sponsorship has made our event a successful. Personally I am highly involved in the community and North Country Subaru is always willing to help out and give there support not only financially but volunteer and participant in events.

World Ride Mountain Bike Movie Night - Hyla K
In April 2023, North Country Subaru sponsored a mountain bike movie night at a local theater to benefit World Ride, a non-profit dedicated to empowering women globally through mountain biking. Through these movie nights and other fundraisers, World Ride is able to train and employ female guides, build and maintain a bike "library" to provide bikes for social rides, and cover travel expenses for female athletes to attend races. On top of covering the expense of the theater, North Country also provided goody bags at the door for all attendees plus popcorn, drinks, desserts and a raffle prize.

North Country Subaru and SUNY Adirondack-Partners on the Road to Community Success! - Rachael P
We're so appreciative of Tyler and Eric and the entire North Country Subaru team for their support of the SUNY Adirondack Foundation's Lyman A Beeman Golf Outing. This is SUNY Adirondack's Foundation's largest fundraiser each year - allowing the us to provide nearly $450,000 in scholarship support annually as well as continue the good work of SUNY Adirondack CARES, which provides emergency grants to students to alleviate unforeseen financial emergencies that threaten their ability to remain enrolled in coursework.

Sweet Scarlett - Brooke M
Through our partnership with North County Subaru and their wonderful generosity to us year after year, the North Shore Animal League Adirondack Region saw a whopping 34 kittens and cats embark on their happy trails in October; getting adopted into loving families. We celebrated with each and every one, but the cat that we were particularly overjoyed for was Scarlett. Meet small, but mighty Scarlett, weighing in initially at 4.56 lbs. and desperately needing our help. She had been discarded on the side of the road in a carrier during the cold winter month of February 2023. We immediately intervened medically to warm her up and set her up for a pathway of recovery. Skittish at first, she had a loud meow and a precarious disposition. It took a few months of slow yet steady progression to figure out her diet and health concerns. Our staff worked with her to diagnose her medical issues while volunteer socializers exposed her to positive interactions with people. She blossomed into a friendly girl on her terms who loves to be pet and curl up on a warm lap. She developed a new appreciation for life, which so warmed our hearts to see! We could tell she wanted a quiet house, a loving home and an adopter all her own. Months later, still on the small side, at 5.82 lbs. she did her best to show off to potential adopters, greeting those lucky enough with rubs and head bumps. On October 16th, 2023, Scarlett found herself being looked at by a nice lady in need of companionship. She saw Scarlett and instantly fell in love. The rest is history. Currently she is dozing on her new owner's lap and enjoying the rest of her days lazing around the windows looking at the birds. She sits regularly in her cat tree, always talking to her new owner and ruling her roost. It took Scarlett a little bit longer to be adopted than others, but she has found her forever home and we could not be happier for her!

We were also able to get craft supplies and other learning tools that have enhanced math and ELA instruction. Awarding the funding to individual teachers allowed each classroom to load up on materials that meet unique needs for each grade level. For example, third grade teacher Liz Gross was able to put her donation towards multiplication and division tiles to help students practice their math more effectively. students building with lego robotics sets provided with funding from Subaru. The tiles are stackable and the kids love calling out the answers, said Mrs. Gross. Another item I was able to order was hands-on literacy centers. These centers are great because the kids are practicing various literacy skills and having fun while doing them. UPK teacher Sue Williams said her funding from North Country Subaru went towards letter building kits, climbing steps, and a new magnetic board for her students to use. She echoed the sentiment all Jackson Heights Elementary teachers were feeling. A HUGE thank you for their continued support towards our childrens education!

Common Ethos - Bert W
At Common Roots Brewing Company, one of our core beliefs is that we are better when we all work together and support one another. Especially critical to our business has been the ability to seek community business partners that share in a common ethos to help each other in times of need. Our good friends at North Country Subaru have been that reliable partner that we can always lean on for support and inspiration. After our business suffered a devastating fire in 2019, we learned first-hand how important and humbling it is to have the support of ones community. In the months that followed that fire, we established the Common Roots Foundation as the not-for-profit arm of our brewery. We modeled it after our businesses founding principles of promoting an active lifestyle, supporting environmental stewardship, creating a more just and inclusive community, and helping others in crisis. Since the fire and in our mission to pay it forward, we have now donated well over $100K in grants to support other organizations and individuals that align with our vision to help lift our community to a better place. None of this would have been possible without the support of our members and key business partners like North Country Subaru. They have been alongside us in almost every fund raiser and event that weve hosted or participated in, and we look forward to many more future collaborations. While the brand Subaru is synonymous with quality and reliability, all of us at Common Roots Brewing Company and the Foundation have learned first-hand that Subaru is more than just a car company. We are extremely proud of our partnership with North Country Subaru and look forward to future collaborations that support our mutual goals to show more love and respect in our community and beyond. And here is a photo of our companys sales car! Cheers, Bert Weber Common Roots Brewing Company Common Roots Foundation

Rocco's Journey - Shannon B
Through our partnership with North County Subaru and their wonderful generosity to us year after year, the North Shore Animal League Adirondack Region saw a whopping 38 kittens and cats embark on their happy trails for the month of October; getting adopted into loving homes. This exceeded our adoption goal for the month! We celebrated with each and every one, but the cat that we were particularly overjoyed for was Rocco. At eight years old, Rocco had arrived to us in early August 2022 as a former neighborhood stray. You could tell based on his appearance alone that life hadn't been kind to him. He bore the physical scars of his struggle to survive, had several broken teeth that were later extracted, was diagnosed with a lower urinary tract disease that required him to be switched to a special diet, and perhaps worse of all was harboring a crushed spirit. He was so shut down, he would try his utmost best to shrink himself down and disappear. While we were able to immediately intervene medically to help with his physical ailments and set him on the path toward recovery, his emotional wounds took a lot of time and patience. Our staff and volunteer socializers alike worked with him as much as possible, exposing him to positive interactions with people. After a couple months of slow yet steady progression, he eventually did blossom into a friendly boy who had the deepest purr whenever he was pet. He developed a new appreciation for life, which so warmed our hearts to see! On October 7th, Rocco's journey of healing was completed with his adoption. Now going by the name of Skipper with his new family, he has truly left the trauma of his past far behind him for a bright future. He has made himself quite comfortable in his new home, already bonding with his owner. We were told by his owner's daughter: "he's the best thing that has happened to my mother in a long, long time."

Camp Under the Woods - Summer Camp for Children on the Autism Spectrum - Robert U
Camp Under the Woods was started over 10 years ago and has been the recipient of funding from the Subaru Share the Love Event many of those years. Under the Woods Foundation's mission is to support experiences that are unique, creative and adventurous for children that are differently abled including, but not limited to autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities, and their families. The foundations goal is to support community development and awareness of children and their families who are impacted by autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities by providing grants and funding for children to attend camps/activities around the region to enrich their lives. Over the years, the Subaru Share the Love Event and North Country Subaru in Queensbury, NY has allowed us to expand the camp and service over 900 kids in a true summer camp experience. Campers have been able to experience all the great opportunities that our area has to offer. We have taken our campers, White Water Rafting, Canoe and Kayaking, Zip lining, Ropes Courses, Hiking, Mountain biking, as well as all the other activities associated with summer camp. Without the support of Subaru and our Local dealer, North Country Subaru, this would never have been possible. Many of these children would never have the chance to experience a true summer camp. The Subaru Share the Love program has enabled us to expand the offerings we have at camp while keeping the costs to parents and families very low. Nearly half of our campers each year pay no fee to attend the camp. All our workers are volunteers and 100% of our funding comes from donations and fundraising. The Lendrum family, Owners of North Country Subaru, have gone above and beyond to help us run our camp. They are great supporters of our local Mountain Bike race which is a major fundraiser for our camp and foundation. North Country Subaru supports so many events in our area and you could not think of a better representative that epitomizes the fundamentals of the Subaru Share the Love Event. Thank you Subaru and North Country Subaru for allowing us to Share the Love in our community!!
Playground toys for BKW Elementary School - Annette L
Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary is a small, rural school located in the southern part of Albany, NY. Last spring we were fortunate enough to be able to replace our 35 year old playground using grant money provided to schools during the pandemic. During this process the primary teachers shared that many of the playground toys were worn out or broken and requested permission to ask for donations from community members. North County Subaru heard about the request and sent a huge donation of toys to our school including Tonka trucks, bulldozers, jeeps, basketballs, sidewalk chalk and hula hoops. We are so thankful to Eric Lendrum and his team at North Country for their generosity. Sincerely, Annette Landry Principal
