Thanks Wayne Subaru - Wayne First Aid Squad - Dave P
For the eighth year, the Lesko Family and Wayne Subaru's donation of a Crosstrek CVT has allowed us to run a successful car raffle fundraiser. The fundraiser raised $50,000, due to the high demand for a chance to win a Subarua. The donation contributed to training expenses and lighting and security upgrades to our Hamburg Turnpike building. The squad will answer 5,000 requests for ambulance and rescue calls in 2025. As a volunteer organization, anyone who requests ambulance service is never charged thanks to the generosity of supporters like Wayne Subaru. Attached is a photo of members after completing annual rescue training.
Grateful for the continued support. - Thomas L

Wayne Subaru Supports Ryerson Elementary School's Leader in Me Program - Debora F
Here at Ryerson Elementary School, we have proudly been able to use the Wayne Subaru generous funds to support our Leader in Me program. This program helps to foster leadership, responsibility, and confidence in every student. Last year, because of the Wayne Subaru support, we initiated our very first Leadership Day and it was a tremendous success. That day brought students, staff, and families together to celebrate our student voices, goal-setting, and leadership in action. We are incredibly appreciative of the Wayne Subaru generosity and what the funds will allow our students to accomplish. As our partnership continues to enrich our school culture it will continue to empower every child to see themselves as a leader both in and out of the classroom.
Wayne Subaru Helps ADOPT and the Pequannock Township Animal Shelter pets find their Forever Homes - Ann C
Wayne Subaru has been a long time supporter of ADOPT (The Animal Dignity Organization of Pequannock Township) and the Pequannock Township Animal Shelter. It was with their help and donation through the Subaru Loves Pets program this year that two “underdog” cats found their forever homes. First up is a cat, Lawrence. Surrendered when his situation was untenable, this senior boy was quiet and friendly at the shelter. He had no idea what was going on. Lawrence received veterinary care, funded through the Subaru Loves Pets donation, and was in tip-top shape for an older cat following his veterinary visit and vaccinations. A kind woman came to the Pequannock Township Animal Shelter looking for an older male cat, who would fit in with her quiet homelife. Well, that was a perfect match His new mom reports Lawrence is settling in nicely and eating and just being a nice quiet gentleman. His mom has family who like visiting with Lawrence too. What a great story! Hooray for Lawrence and his new and extended family! Topaz came to us as a stray, about 12-14 weeks old. She was full of beans at the shelter, a very confident cat. She explored everything, got along with kittens and cats, and made staff and volunteers laugh every day! She received a full veterinary review, the necessary vaccinations, and was spayed, thanks to the donation by Wayne Subaru as part of the Subaru Loves Pets program. Following her vet visit she was ready, willing, and able to find a new forever home. She was soon adopted and her new family love her and are planning on doing harness training to give this Adventure Cat the life she wants! Hooray for Topaz and her new family!

Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Wayne, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Wayne Subaru is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like Wayne Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/14/2025, Wayne Subaru donated 120 coats to Strengthen Our Sisters. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.
Wayne Subaru generosity supports Wayne First Aid Squad mission - Leo David P
Once again it is our privilege to say thank you to the generosity of the Lesko family and Wayne Subaru. Because of the Lesko family’s donation of a new Subaru Crosstek Premium/RRB for the Wayne First Aid Squad’s annual raffle, the Squad was able to raise $50,000 for the purchase of equipment and supplies. This is the seventh year Wayne Subaru and the Lesko’s have donated a vehicle for the Squad’s raffle. The winner of this year’s new Subaru was Gail Eckstein from Wayne. Proceeds from the raffle will be used to purchase supplies, equipment and ambulance repairs in the Squad’s day-to-day operations. Examples of supplies which will be paid for include masks, gloves, splints, bandages, EPI Pens, AED pads, oxygen masks, Narcan, albuterol, blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes, etc. The Wayne Squad responds to over 4,000 emergency ambulance requests each year. As a volunteer organization, the Squad relies on donations from its friends and neighbors in Wayne Township and fundraisers to meet its expenses. Our volunteer Squad provides it's services at no charge to those in need. Anyone interested in serving their community as a volunteer EMT can contact the Squad through its website, waynefas.org, and fill out an application. The Squad will provide all training required to become an EMT. If you are in the market for a new or used vehicle, please consider Wayne Subaru at 600 Route 23 North, Pompton Plains.
