Napleton's Palatine Subaru Loves Their Local Library - Maridsa C
Palatine Library District is incredibly fortunate to have found a community partner in Napletons Palatine Subaru. Their donations help us achieve our mission of inspiring connection, curiosity, and joy through literacy and enrichment in patrons of all ages, especially children. This year as we celebrated our 100th anniversary, we wanted to honor our history and work with local businesses that make an impact in our community. Napleton's Palatine Subaru was the first business to support this tremendous occasion by donating to our mini golf fundraiser weekend. In September, we turned our library into a 19-hole mini golf course for a weekend of fun while raising money for a great cause. Subaru's donation helped us raise $10,000 that weekend to purchase a LiteZilla Lite Brite wall for the Youth Department. A Lite Brite is a fun, creative activity for children that develops their critical-thinking, problem-solving, and fine motor skills. As a library, we're ecstatic to be able to provide an activity for children that will help them develop and grow. The Lite Brite wall will be installed at Palatine Library's Main Branch this spring.

Napleton's Palatine Subaru helped pets find homes! - Christina M
Napleton's Palatine Subaru hosted an adoption event for the dogs of Second City Canine Rescue on June 22, 2024. We brought nine dogs to the adoption event and to say that Napleton's staff were helpful would be an understatement. They directed traffic and lifted all of our heavy items; they even bought us pizza! General Manager Theo Davis was particularly kind and helpful and everything you could want in an adoption partner. We were able to find new homes for several dogs and are so excited to be coming back to Napleton's Palatine Subaru in October for Subarus make a dog's day adoption event.

Oktoberfest 2023 Compostable Waste, Palatine Cool Cities & Napleton's Palatine Subaru - Rita P
Much credit and many thanks to Napletons Palatine Subaru and to Danny Napleton for their essential support of our low-waste objective for the local 2023 Oktoberfest held in Palatine, IL from September 15 to 17. In collaboration with the Palatine Rotary Club and the Palatine Cool Cities (PCC) organization, Napletons Palatine Subarus contribution was vital to the success of the goal (and the first ever attempt) to manage and reduce the amount of landfill waste generated at the Rotary Club Oktoberfest. Napleton was the sole sponsor of the low-waste initiative, and beyond sponsorship, Danny and his team were active and earnest in the planning process and were onsite for over 20 hours as enthusiastic event volunteers. The Palatine Rotary Club Oktoberfest is an annual three-day event that attracts between 15,000 to 18,000 visitors. (The 2022 Oktoberfest raised over $700k for charity so this is an impactful local event.) The focus is, of course, on food (9 diverse food vendors) and drink (beer and wine tent). As a result, a considerable amount of waste is generated. Napletons sponsorship funded a contract for services with Collective Resource, a local compost collection cooperative, who provided crucial expertise in planning and in onsite guidance. Food vendors had been instructed to use compostable containers and flatware for serving. Even the beer cups were compostable! Volunteers, including Danny and his team, manned multiple waste stations to ensure that trash was properly deposited into the right bin 1. Compost; 2. Recycling; or 3. Landfill. Collective Resource hauled away forty 32-gallon totes filled with organic compostable waste (total weight 1080 lbs) which amounts to .54 tons of waste diverted away from the landfill and the recycling bin to be sustainably composted! Collective Resource has expressed that for a first-time composting presence, this partnership resulted in a SIGNIFICANT amount of diverted waste with relatively seamless execution!. In addition to sponsorship and dedicated energies contributed by Danny and his team, Napletons Palatine Subaru also provided promotional and instructional signage. The onsite operation was unexpected and appreciated among fest attendees, fostering recognition and good will for Napletons Palatine Subaru and the partner organizations. This inaugural venture has jumpstarted momentum for similar success at future public events. Palatine Cool Cities, (a grassroots, all volunteer organization, and a local chapter of Go Green Illinois) had been engaged with Napleton Subaru as sustainability partners for over a year when Danny Napleton embraced the opportunity to collaborate with PCC on Oktoberfest, the first ever undertaking in Palatine to manage a low-waste public event. Napletons Palatine Subaru and Danny share PCCs mission to reduce the carbon footprint at the individual, community, and societal level by managing/reducing/preventing waste and directly reducing emissions. Dannys personal involvement throughout the project was enthusiastic and genuinely supportive. His purpose to support an important local environmental cause was clear and unwavering. Dannys good nature made the interactions with him comfortable and productive. We are looking forward to future collaborations! Palatine Rotary Club is a civic service organization founded in 1964 to support the people of Palatine and to promote international understanding and friendship. Napletons Palatine Subaru is listed among the sponsors of the 2023 Oktoberfest on the Clubs website (and was, of course in the list of sponsors onsite at the event). Additionally, and separately, Napletons Palatine Subaru is recognized on the Palatine Rotary Club website as an Oktoberfest sustainability partner. https://youtube.com/shorts/3zay6alq-4E?si=nL17axT-c5ghNzVk
Napletons Palatine Subaru Loves to Care Donation - Simone P
As an Leukemia & Lymphoma Society employee, I had a wonderful time assisting in a donation drop off for the Subaru Love to Care® program. I arrived at the Illinois Cancer Specialist center in Arlington Heights and was greeted by two staff members. We then met with three Napletons Palatine Subaru employees. Both parties expressed how grateful they were to be involved with this mission and process. The Napletons Palatine Subaru employees were so gracious and helpful carrying all the care kits and blankets into the center. I got to capture some terrific photos of a doctor, two staff members, and Subaru employees at the drop off. We were lucky to have some time to speak to amazing staff members who shared with us why these Subaru donations are so impactful for patients. One of the staff members said their [the patients] doing something; their fighting for their lives, which is why receiving warm blankets and thoughtful cards provides so much positivity. Staff at the center also shared that as soon as they put the blankets out, they are always gone by the end of the day. It was great to hear that, along with them sharing that on top of Subarus donations, other people in the community pitch in and donate handmade hats, pillows, and more. It is very evident to me that the patients at this center are well-cared for and loved by so many in the community. We are so grateful for Napletons Palatine Subaru and the staff members who love to participate in this program year after year.
Napleton's Palatine Subaru goes to the dogs for a day! - Christina M
Second City Canine Rescue had a wonderful adoption event at Napleton's Palatine Subaru on June 3, 2023! We showed up with 13 dogs and a dozen volunteers and the awesome Napleton staff didn't break a sweat. They moved a few cars out of the showroom and gave us plenty of space to spread the dogs out. This care for our dog's (and our) comfort was so appreciated! Helped by Napleton's great setup and promotion, we found homes for nine dogs in three hours! Those nine dogs are now living their best lives with their new parents and we have room in our rescue to save more lives. Thank you to the entire staff at Napleton's Palatine Subaru and letting your dealership go to the dogs for the day!

Napleton's Palatine Subaru Brings Love and Hope to Cancer Patients - Shelby W
This July, the Napleton Palatine Subaru team and myself had the pleasure of delivering 80 blankets and 25 arts & craft kits to the Illinois Cancer Specialists clinic in Arlington Heights, IL as part of Subarus Loves to Care program. Items of comfort like these show support and love to their cancer patients as they navigate their diagnosis and treatment journey. We were honored to be able to hand-deliver a blanket to Josephine, a current patient, and hope these blankets will provide for a brighter future for ICS patients. Many thanks to everyone at Napleton's Palatine Subaru for your continued support of LLSs mission to cure blood cancers and improve the quality of life to patients and their families, and to the team at Illinois Cancer Specialists for all that you do for your patients!
