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.
Rafferty goes pink during October - Rafferty S
The Rafferty Family, like so many families, has come face to face with the realities of a breast cancer diagnosis. We know first-hand that the days following a breast cancer diagnosis are filled with a variety of emotions, fear, sadness and anger to name a few. Faced with the realities of constant testing, treatment decisions and emotional unrest, the afflicted and effected loved ones often feel alone and confused. Thankfully, organizations like Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) are here to help by offering knowledge resources, stories of survival and the positive emotional support needed to beat breast cancer. In recognition and appreciation for the support the Rafferty Family received throughout their journey, Rafferty Subaru donated $100 per car sold for the month of October, raising a total of $17,500 for Living Beyond Breast Cancer’s mission! The cars were complete with custom pink license plate holders.
Rafferty Subaru- A True Partner - Colleen F
Partners in Outreach is a non-profit organization connecting generous community members with children in Chester County who need additional support. Rafferty Subaru has been a loyal partner giving over $129,555 throughout the years. These funds support our programs- Operation Easter Basket, Operation Easter Outfit, Classroom Reading Partners, REAL Tutoring, and Summer Camp Partners. The PIO programs emphasize literacy, extracurricular activities, and the celebration of religious and cultural traditions. They provide children in Chester County with essentials like books, bathing suits, beach towels, and more, ensuring they can enjoy meaningful experiences with their peers. Thanks to Rafferty Subaru’s longstanding generosity, countless children have been able to attend summer camp and make strides toward closing the literacy gap. This year, Rafferty collected over 250 warm winter coats during the Share the Warmth Coat Drive. In addition, Deb Davis, a dedicated Partners in Outreach volunteer, hand-knitted winter hats to accompany each coat. Working with the team at Rafferty to collect and distribute these coats was a joy. Rafferty’s support has been invaluable to the work of Partners in Outreach, and we are deeply grateful for their generosity!
