Providing warmth, love,
and support to those facing cancer.
Subaru believes we all should have a chance to lead a healthy life. That's why for the past 10 years, Subaru and our retailers have partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS). Together with LLS, we donate warm blankets, patient care kits, and encouraging messages of hope written by Subaru retailers and customers in our stores to support patients facing cancer. We also partner with LLS to provide cancer patient households financial relief to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, and utilities.
Celebrating 10 years of partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS).
Nearly 500,000 cancer patients supported nationwide by the end of this year.
We are proud to be LLS’s largest automotive donor.
Our Retailers In Action
Baxter Subaru La Vista
The Baxter Subaru La Vista team visited the CHI Health Henry Lynch Cancer Center to gift 30 patient care kits, thoughtfully packed with warm blankets, comforting items, and handwritten notes. In partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Urgent Need Program, Baxter Subaru La Vista also provided financial relief to 10 pediatric blood cancer households to help alleviate non-medical expenses such as transportation, food, housing, and utilities — support that makes a meaningful difference during a challenging time.
Subaru of Jacksonville
The team at Subaru of Jacksonville delivered handwritten notes and warm blankets to Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center patients receiving infusion therapy. The cancer center staff told the retailer that their heartfelt gesture was a tremendous source of joy, especially for those patients who come to treatment alone, and that the words of encouragement and care brought many tears of gratitude.
Dewey Griffin Subaru
For the seventh year, Dewey Griffin Subaru donated blankets and messages of hope to patients at the PeaceHealth St. Joseph Cancer Center. The center relayed their sincere thanks and said the gifts were very much appreciated by their patients. They added that they had witnessed hundreds of smiles and hugs generated between the patients and the staff who have the privilege of sharing the blankets.
Patient Story
Jelien’s Circle of Support
In July 2018, slow-healing cuts and bruises were the first signs something was wrong with 3-year-old Jelien Ramos. As the months went by, constant spiking fevers led to multiple hospital visits but no diagnosis. Finally, a bone marrow biopsy confirmed she had leukemia. Jelien began her treatment in January 2019 and LLS was there to support her and her family — help that became even more essential during the COVID-19 pandemic. This chapter of Jelien’s story closed with a happy ending. She went on to “ring the bell” and finished her treatment on April 16, 2021. Jelien’s family remains forever grateful to LLS and her school district is raising funds to help them support more patients.
