Subaru is a company that’s committed to spreading love and doing good in local communities. At Wyatt Johnson Subaru, we feel the same way! We’re passionate about giving back to our Clarksville community, and that’s why we were thrilled to partner with Tennova Healthcare for the Subaru Love Promise event. Tennova Healthcare in Clarksville, TN, is a cornerstone of our community, providing compassionate care for patients of all ages. To bring joy and encouragement to those receiving care at Tennova, our team donated customized blankets that fold into pillows, stationary supplies, and crafts. On July 11, 2024, a group of local student volunteers from VolunTeen gave out the gifts and care kits to Tennova patients, and it was truly heartwarming to see how the teens interacted with those staying at the hospital. The gifts boosted the patients’ moods, and being visited by caring volunteers brought a smile to the faces of those undergoing treatment. Partnering with Tennova Healthcare gave us the opportunity to live out the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. This is Subaru’s way of supporting those facing medical challenges, bringing hope to patients and their families. A special thanks to Sandy Wooten, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Tennova, who worked with us to coordinate this Subaru Love Promise event!

We participated in the national Operation Warmth Coat Drive in February 2024, joining forces with the Salvation Army to donate 288 new winter coats to children in need. Events like this show how powerful it can be when we come together to support our neighbors! Every coat donated, every patient care package, and every other way that we give back is our way of embodying Subaru’s core value: Love.
