Not Alone - Jennifer B

We’ve been fortunate to partner with LLS and Subaru Loves to Care for many years, and their annual donation is always something we look forward to. The blankets and comfort kits bring smiles to our patients and serve as a powerful reminder that they are not alone — that their community is behind them. This year, the comfort kits have been especially appreciated. One teen in the infusion room was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital, and the comfort box and blanket gave her something of her own to take with her — providing both practical items and a sense of comfort during a difficult time.

Kites for Kids North Natomas Kite Festival!! 😀 - Gary F

I just wanted to thank Glenn and all the staff at Miata Subaru of Sacramento for their continued support to the Kites for Kids for the North Natomas Kite Festival on March 15th from 10-2pm at Northlake Community Park. This is the 3rd year that Maita Subaru has supported the Kites for Kids organization's yearly Kite event here in Sacramento. Maita Subaru was one of the very first supporters of the Kites for Kids organization in helping bring free kite building and model rocketry workshops and events to the Sacramento community. This year we moved to Northlake Community Park to accommodate the expected 400+ people that attended the festival this year!! The Sacramento Taiko Dan Youth Performing Ensemble once again provided great Japanese Taiko drum performances for the kids as they flew their kites and made the event very memorable!! The Central Valley Kite Flyers were back again this year and were able to get some truly large kites in the air where people could see the massive large red octopus kite over 100ft long and the 35ft trilobite kite in the air from over a mile from the event location-we even had many people who saw the big Kites driving down Hwy 99 on the freeway that turned around and came to the event! Anwar and Naureen Kahn from Old City Kites in old Sacramento came and even held a class on how to fly fighter kites while the Kites for Kids organization had a small kite loan, and provided some very nice vintage trophies with model rocketry kits for the largest kite, smallest kite, most colorful and best handmade/home built as well as runner-up trophies with a model rocket to build as a bonus!! Another early and generous supporter of the Kites for Kids organization, Sacramento City Councilwoman Lisa Kaplan had a booth to meet the community and provided many volunteers to help with the event and SMUD-Sacramento Municipal Utility District-even had a booth for public outreach as well as Clark Pest Control and Chase Bank. We were also able to host a booth from the Aerospace Museum of California that had a special exhibit about the Makani power generating kite they have on display and staff to answer questions about this very unique kite and it's history!! It was quite the event this year and it seems like a heard nothing but good things about the event and how many people though the kite festival was a great event that they will be looking forward to coming again next year!! Once again I really want to say thanks again to Glenn and all the staff at Miata Subaru of Sacramento for their generous support to the Kites for Kids organization over the last 3 years and for the 2025 North Natomas Kite Festival!! 😃 Our community is blessed to have businesses like Maita Subaru in Sacramento that truly care about our community and are more than willing to help organizations like Kites for Kids have "old school" and family friendly events like this Kite Festival. To Glenn and the staff at Miata Subaru... Thank You for helping our community be a richer and better place for all our families!! 😃

Nature Detectives Discover the Mysteries of the Outdoor World - Janice K

Maita Subaru provided a grant to support the Winter 2025 session of Nature Detectives weekly afterschool program at Harry Dewey Elementary School in Carmichael. Nature Detectives creates multiple opportunities for kindergarten through third grade students to Discover the Mysteries of the Outdoor World on their school campus. Activities inspire curiosity and imagination, blend art, science, literacy and inquiry-based learning. Nature Detectives activities also build observation, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. Since all programs are based on the seasons of Fall: Trees as Habitat, Winter Wisdom and Spring: Nature in Motion, students can develop a consistent practice of noticing changes on their school campus throughout the school year. Nature Detectives mission is to inspire a lifelong love, curiosity and appreciation for the outdoor world and the series of connections that support life. This awareness will lead to advocacy and care for our communities, environment, landscapes and wildlife. Engagement and meaningful connection with the outdoor world also contributes to a child’s healthy emotional, physical and intellectual growth. Janice Kelley established Nature Detectives in 2018. Since then she has presented programs in six Sacramento area schools and to hundreds of children. Visit the https://naturedetectivesusa.com website to view activity photos, videos, program information, resources, blogs and Discovery Guides serving as leader training materials.

Natomas Kites For Kids Fun Fly, March 16, 2023 - Gary F

An enormous and special “Thank you!!!” to Glen and the staff at Maita Subaru in Sacramento for their invaluable support of the 2nd Natomas Kites For Kids Fun Fly on March 16, 2024! Members of the Sacramento community were invited to fly kites overhead at Blackbird Park in North Natomas. Our first year, we had over 200 people attend, and this year we had over 350 attendees! A "Kites for Kids" station was set up for children to hand-make kites, as well as a kite-loan station where both adults and children borrowed kites to fly. The kite-making station was so popular, Kites For Kids gave out over 100 kites in a single hour! Food vendors, local businesses, and community organizations (such as North Natomas JIBE and their free bike repair dock) all attended and showed their support for Kites For Kids! The Sacramento Taiko Dan children’s ensemble put on an outstanding performance that filled the air with a fierce, powerful atmosphere as the kids flew their kites. The owners of the Old City Kites kite shop, located in Old Sacramento, put on an informative demonstration on how to fly different types of fighter kites. The Central Valley Kite Flyers Association presented an educational showcase on flying stunt kites, but not before struggling to get their 25-foot kite in the air! Handmade custom trophies were awarded by judges, including Councilwoman Lisa Kaplan, members of the Natomas Unified School board, and members of the Sacramento Parks Commission. Individuals who had the largest kite, the smallest kite, the most colorful kite, and the best handmade or hand-built kite, as well as a runner-up for each category, were chosen. Staff and sponsors were awarded a special, mystical “Order of the Divine Wind” headband for their help and support throughout the entire process. Once again, our profound appreciation and gratitude is extended to Maita Subaru for their support of the Kites For Kids Fun Fly! We hope the families of the staff enjoyed the kite kits we gifted, and we also hope you are enjoying your “Order of the Divine Wind” headband, Glen!

Jonnie and Friends Reach for the Stars - Marc L

We are very grateful for the recent generous donation made by Maita Subaru of Sacramento on the Big Day of Giving. Your organization was the first to make a larger donation and by the end of May 2, Jonnie's Dream Playground had raised over $11 K!! You helped greatly with our achievement on this special day, and will forever be grateful to you! I wanted to tell you a brief story of what your meaningful gift will provide! In 2005 our son helped dedicate a new playground in Sacramento! He was disabled and relied on a wheelchair. Southside Park's Universal Universe Playground was special, it was built for our community's special needs kids. The entire playground was accessible and allowed children of all abilities to experience play, meet new friends and explore more fun at this space theme park!! Jonnie came here often to navigate around this wonderful playground where he could access the play structures, unlike many other playgrounds. Our family helped promote more programming that benefited all kids and the city of Sacramento continues to offer monthly playdates that provide rich opportunities for children of all abilities to interact and participate in playground activities. Our family has helped promote several other playgrounds by adding more accessible features that help a broader group of kids! In 2019 Jonnie died at age 20. The merry go round had been abandoned for some time and in late 2019 I approached the city of Sacramento to collaborate and bring a wheelchair merry go round to this special playground with private funding. Thus, Jonnie and Friends Reach for the Stars started a partnership with the city of Sacramento. Since 2020 we have raised over $ 70 K to add new new features. Many in the community have supported us. The We Go Round was installed in November of 2021 and is the only one in our region! See the website and pictures. The city of Sacramento renovated the playground in 2021 and 2022 and this accessible playground has been improved with kind donations like yours. We want to do more! After the first wheelchair accessible merry go round was installed in our region, Jonnie and Friends Reach for the Stars have started an effort to add even more great features and your donation will help fund three new items, the Sensory Play Station, The Serenity Spot and the Communication Symbol Panel! All affording new opportunities for all children to seek more fun and meet new friends on this magical playground. And Maita Subaru of Sacramento has kindly and generously supported this mission and we are so appreciative of you all. A special thanks to Glen and Levi for their great assistance in making all this possible."

Love when you are feeling down - jennifer B

Children come into the UC Davis Cancer Center feeling tired, cold and sometimes sick from their medications. The 80 blankets that Subaru Loves to Care Event and LLS comes and drops of 80 blankets each year it truly makes a difference in the lives of the child and their family. A perfect example is a child cam in feeling so sick and just wanted to lay down. He needed more than just our blanket. I presented him with the 2023 Subaru Loves to Care and LLS blanket and he was so excited. He immediately fell asleep cuddling with his new blanket. Not did it make a difference in the moment, but he also brought the blanket back to each of his next appointments because it brought him comfort and made the space his. Thank you for your support!
