Baby's Second Chance - Ann B
Dear Fox Marquette Subaru Team, I wanted to share with you a heartwarming tale from our shelter, UPAWS, that truly embodies the spirit of love and compassion for animals in need. This story is about Baby, a senior Shih Tzu lady who found herself in our care after her elderly owner could no longer provide for her due to failing health. Baby was confused and afraid when she arrived at UPAWS, with her eyesight damaged and her hearing failing. But fate had a special plan for her. A kind lady, who was visiting our shelter in search of a new furry companion, happened to see Baby being surrendered. Though the dog she initially came to meet wasn't the right fit, something about Baby tugged at her heartstrings. The kind lady decided to keep an eye on our website for when Baby would be available for adoption. When the day finally came, she drove an hour to meet Baby in person. It was love at first sight, and Baby found her forever home with this compassionate soul who knew that a senior dog like Baby would be the perfect fit for her family. In an email to us, Baby's new owner shared how well Baby was adjusting to her new surroundings. She marveled at Baby's intelligence, noting that despite her visual and auditory impairments, she seemed to navigate her new home with ease. Baby's new owner expressed her gratitude to UPAWS for caring for Baby and for giving her the chance to bring love and companionship into her life. We are immensely grateful to Subaru and Fox Marquette Subaru for their unwavering support of UPAWS and for making stories like Baby's possible. Your commitment to animal welfare and adoption initiatives through the Subaru Loves Pets program has truly made a difference in the lives of countless animals, including Baby. Thank you for being a part of Baby's journey and for helping us spread love and compassion to those who need it most. With supporters like you, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. We are forever grateful for your partnership and your dedication to our mission. With heartfelt gratitude, Ann Brownell Community Outreach Coordinator UPAWS
Lake Superior Performance Rally, powered by Fox Marquette Subaru - Chris H
For the fourth consecutive year, Fox Marquette Subaru was the title sponsor of the Lake Superior Performance Rally (LSPR). In 2021 the event moved from Houghton to Marquette, and with the move Fox became our main sponsor, as well as one of our main venues. LSPR is a stage rally event, held for the last 30 years all over the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and is the final round of the American Rally Association (ARA) National Championship. Not only does Fox Marquette Subaru financially support the event as our title sponsor, they allow us to use their facilities for many of the important off-stage activities of the course of the week of the event. First, the day before the event begins, all competitor cars must be inspected by the ARA to make sure all rules and safety regulations are followed. Fox allows us to take over half of their service lane for the day, which gives us a great place to inspect the vehicles. Then, on Friday morning Fox hosts our Parc Expose, which is the rally version of cars and coffee. All of the competitors and their cars line up in the dealership parking lot, and spectators, volunteers, and local media interact with them for a couple hours. Once Parc Expose is over, one at a time the competitors drive under an arch in the parking lot to officially begin their event. This has turned into a real highlight of our event, with local TV crews, sponsors, vendors, and 1,000s of rally fans turning out to interact with the competitors before they leave for the forest stages. Even the Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist stopped by Fox to see what was going on this year! LSPR relies on a large volunteer force to run the event, with over 350 people donating their time over the course of the weekend to ensure the event operates as smoothly and safely as possible. We supply the volunteers with swag bags that contain event shirts, stickers, and other goodies, and Fox Marquette Subaru always generously donates a unique giveaway item for all volunteers. LSPR brings 1,000s of people from all over the US (and some from overseas) to the Marquette area and pumps millions of dollars into the local economy. Without the financial and facilities support of Fox Marquette Subaru, this event simply would not happen on the level that it does now. Their team is amazing to work with, is always looking to help us grow the event, and is an integral part to everything we do! Thank you to Brenda, Bob, Luke, and the whole Fox Marquette Subaru team!

Subaru Loves to Care - Mary T
Fox Marquette Subaru shared the love with us at the Mariucci Family Beacon House; we could not be more thankful for it! At the Beacon House, we have many cancer patients stay with us while they are going through their treatment. Their stay can be for extended periods. As we try our hardest to make sure they feel the love, Fox Marquette Subaru has helped us to accomplish this goal by providing luxurious blankets and pillows to provide extra comfort. These cozy items remind us all of a hug from a loved one! It is comforting for both us and them to find guests curled up with blankets and watching TV. Some guests have even kept these pillows in their cars for emergencies. The love has been shared is such a gift to us all, especially the encouraging words from the team at Fox Marquette Subaru, where our guests can be reminded every day of their strength. It makes a world of difference to have this wonderful support surrounding our guests when they are going through these treatments. Thank you!

Subaru Loves to Help - Fox In Socks - Brenda H
Fox Marquette Subaru is supporting those in need with donations of socks to shelters in our communities as part of the Subaru Loves To Help initiative. Members of the Fox Marquette team sported their Subaru Loves to Help Socks to bring awareness to those experiencing homelessness by providing one of the most requested items by shelters, socks. This small item that many of us take for granted, can truly have an enormous impact by providing comfort and maintaining the health of those who are experiencing homelessness. Through the Subaru Loves to Help® initiative, Fox Marquette Subaru along with retailers across the country will have donated over 500,000 pairs of new socks, 50,000 of which are youth socks, along with 100,000 warm blankets to those experiencing homelessness. We’re grateful to be able to help make this gesture of compassion for those who find themselves needing warmth this winter.
