Rafferty headed to Auto Dealers Caring for Kids Foundation's headquarters to load up boxes upon unboxes of coats for our community partners, including Partners in Outreach (PIO), one of Rafferty's hometown charities.

At Rafferty Subaru, Subaru Loves Pets isn't just an October focus - it's all year round, which is why Rafferty Subaru hosts quarterly adoption events with local lifesaving animal welfare organization Providence Animal Center (PAC) - and even sponsors 50% of the adoption fees of the pets who find homes at these events. In April and June of this year, Rafferty and PAC's events were so successful that over 70 homeless pets found forever homes. Not to mention, every week, Rafferty and PAC partner to feature an adoptable pet in their Rafferty Rescue Vehicle - one of two donated cars - and those pets go on to find forever homes as well! It's truly a lifesaving partnership that has resulted in a remarkable number of orphaned pets finding their way out of the shelter.

How does a car dealership bring a roomful of teenagers and their parents so much joy? Bob Rafferty, along with Finley and the team at Rafferty Subaru, graciously hosted Greater Philadelphia students for the 2025 Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Student Visionaries of the Year kickoff. The evening was filled with inspiration—reuniting with Matt Hauser, a blood cancer survivor, meeting Maddie, our 2025 Honored Hero, and celebrating the incredible students and families fundraising to support patients and their loved ones. Moved by their dedication, Bob took it a step further, personally jumpstarting each team’s fundraising efforts with a generous gift. Bob, from all of us at Student Visionaries of the Year, thank you.

Subaru Retailers Team Up to Support Hurricane Relief Efforts - Jess M
At Rafferty Subaru, we’re always ready to step up and support our communities, especially in times of crisis. This commitment is at the heart of the Subaru Love Promise®. When Hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated the Eastern region, Subaru retailers like us immediately sprang into action. Alongside other Subaru retailers, Subaru of America, and local organizations, we assessed the most urgent needs in the affected areas. It quickly became clear that local food banks were struggling to keep up with the surge in demand as they worked to support people hit hardest by the storms. In response, we teamed up with 67 Subaru retailers across the region to launch a $400,000 match campaign to aid the hurricane relief efforts of Feeding America®. Rafferty Subaru proudly contributed $2000 to this initiative. While the immediate impact of the storms fades from the headlines, many of our neighbors continue to face long-term challenges like food insecurity, water shortages, power outages, and limited access to essential services. Thanks to the collective generosity of Subaru retailers and the communities we serve, an additional $18,427 was raised. This brings the total impact to $418,427, or over 4,100,000 meals for those in need. "As one of the nation's largest disaster relief organizations, the Feeding America network of food banks and partner agencies is deeply rooted in communities across the country. Together, our partnership with trusted Subaru dealers has helped expedite emergency food assistance and supplies to people who need it most. We are immensely grateful," said Feeding America Chief Development Officer Casey Marsh.
