Driving History Forward - Erin S
Love isn’t just something Subaru talks about—it’s something they put into motion. And on February 15, 2025, that love powered something extraordinary here at LancasterHistory. Because of Subaru’s steadfast support, guests from across Lancaster and beyond gathered at the Thaddeus Stevens & Lydia Hamilton Smith Center for History and Democracy for An Evening of History & Celebration. With cocktails in hand and jazz echoing through the halls, they stepped into a breathtaking new chapter for LancasterHistory—and into a space where the stories of freedom, justice, and democracy will soon inspire generations. Subaru’s belief in community, education, and the power of history helped transform this beloved tradition—once known as the Valentine’s Gala—into an unforgettable Sneak Peek Soirée. Before any artifacts were placed or exhibits installed, Subaru made it possible for hundreds of supporters to explore the newly restored Center and envision the future to come. Lavish bites, lively conversation, and a shared love for Lancaster’s past made for a magical night—and none of it would have happened without Subaru’s enduring generosity. For years, Subaru has helped LancasterHistory drive educational programming, preserve heritage, and ignite curiosity. Their love drives more than vehicles—it drives change. Thank you, Subaru, for making this night—and this future—possible!
A Lifeline - Heather G
A Respite provided by the A Week Away Foundation is a desperately needed break for a family battling a life-threatening illness. It is NOT simply a vacation. We all desire vacations. At AWA, we custom-tailor each Respite Week to specifically meet the needs & even dreams of the family, no matter how particular, different, or difficult. It is not just about sending someone away. NO, we provide a stress-free, safe, and secure environment for everyone in this caregiving team to rest and recharge, to come refreshed and better equipped to fight their disease. When you remove the stress from their world, even for a short period, you enable the body to better fight the disease. We can buy time, when we buy time, we give God & science a chance to work & we win some of these battles. To accomplish our mission, it takes funding. A lot of it! To plan a Respite Week for a family of 5 with severe health needs, it takes a considerable amount of money. Our baseline Respite is around $4,500 and soars to over $7,000. A sponsor like Lancaster County Motors Subaru is our lifeline. As I look back over our 10-year partnership, I realize that the A Week Away Foundation would simply not exist without them! They have helped The A Week Away Foundation make a tremendous life-giving impact on our local community, accounting for more than 40 Respites. We are forever grateful!!
Moving Lancaster Forward - Demetrius A
At YWCA Lancaster, our mission to eliminate racism and empower women is powered by the strength of our community — and Lancaster County Motors Subaru has been a driving force behind that strength as a Justice Sponsor of our 2025 Race Against Racism. Their support wasn’t just symbolic—it was transformational. Thanks to their Justice Sponsorship, we were able to welcome over 3,100 participants to one of the longest-running Race Against Racism events in the nation. Their investment helped us uplift the community's voices. The impact of their commitment went far beyond race day. Because of their support, we’ve been able to deepen our year-round racial justice programming — extending the message of equity and inclusion into schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods across Lancaster County. This partnership was made possible by the leadership and passion of Jonathan Furukawa and Brian I. Brightbill, who championed this effort from the very beginning. Their belief in our mission and advocacy within Lancaster County Motors Subaru was essential in bringing this collaboration to life. They led the charge, embodying what it means to stand in solidarity and take real action toward justice. This is what a Love Promise looks like: a partnership rooted in purpose, leadership grounded in justice, and action that drives real impact. Thank you to Lancaster County Motors Subaru — and to Jonathan and Brian — for helping us move Lancaster forward.

Vilko Motorsports - Ryan P
Vilko Motorsports had a fantastic year in 2024 with the help of LCM Subaru! We are very thankful for the sponsorship from LCM Subaru which allowed us to travel to a new event for us, Lake Superior Performance Rally. At LSPR our team got to enjoy some beautiful scenery and one of our drivers, James, claimed First Place in the ARA East Region L4WD Championship. LCM provided us use of a loaner car for each event we attended this year. The loaner cars are a huge benefit to our team! The drivers use the loaner car for recce where they make the pace notes to drive the course competitively. The service crew uses the loaner cars on race day to transport them between service parks and refuel zones which can be in very remote areas. We were also able to have professional alignments completed before each race; ensuring our cars were in best possible condition. Thank you to LCM Subaru for an amazing 2024 and we are very excited to continue our partnership in 2025!
