A Big thank you for our Elementary School !! - jasmin d.
On behalf of the entire Alfano School community, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your continued partnership and support through the Adopt-A-Classroom program. Your generous donation of the classroom supply boxes at the beginning of the school year made an immediate and meaningful impact on our students and staff. The supplies were distributed to our new teachers across each grade level, helping them create welcoming, well-equipped learning environments from day one. We are incredibly fortunate to have community partners like Competition Subaru who consistently invest in the success of our students and educators. Your kindness and generosity help ensure that our teachers have the resources they need to provide engaging and enriching learning experiences for all children. Thank you for your ongoing support of Alfano throughout the year. We truly value our partnership and look forward to continuing to work together to make a positive difference in the lives of our students. With sincere appreciation, Principal Jasmin Dengeles

Dear Mr. Buzzetta, I wanted to take a moment to tell you about the wonderful experience I had with Regina Medina. Regina recently met with me to go over all of the features and capabilities of my new Subaru Forester. She was absolutely terrific. Regina is bright, knowledgeable, energetic, personable, patient, and incredibly thorough. She took her time explaining everything and made sure I was comfortable with the many features of my new car before I left. What makes this even more meaningful is that this was not my first experience with Regina. She also spent time with me when I purchased my Subaru Crosstrek, carefully teaching me how to use all of its features. When I purchased my Forester, I was very happy to have the opportunity to work with her again. My husband and I have purchased five vehicles from your dealership over the years, so we have had a long relationship with your dealership. People like Regina are one of the reasons customers feel good about coming back. It is easy to sell someone a car, but the experience after the sale is just as important. Regina made sure I understood my new vehicle and could enjoy everything it has to offer. Her enthusiasm and genuine interest in helping her customers really stand out. Regina Medina is truly an asset to your dealership, and I hope you will recognize her for the outstanding job she does. I wanted to personally make sure you knew how much I appreciated her time, patience, and professionalism. Best, Shelley Stockner

Trees have been planted in Georgia thanks to you! - Tara J.
We are thrilled to share that, thanks to your generous support, a total of 302,500 trees were planted across southern Georgia.This project was designed to foster active participation among family forest landowners across 37 counties. Our primary objective was to enhance the habitat for at-risk species, including the gopher tortoise and Eastern indigo snake, by revitalizing longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood ecosystems through prescribed fire and strategic plantings. Projects like these are only possible because of dedicated supporters like you. We sincerely thank you for your donation and the vital support your trees will offer to the people, nature, and wildlife of Georgia.
Our New Love! - Jessica S.
We got our dog from the Competition Subaru of Smithtown, Subaru Loves Pets Adoption Event. We had recently lost our family dog a few months prior to the event. Our family was sad, our kids missed their dog. When we met our little guy, we just knew it was meant to be. He has transitioned beautifully into our home. He goes everywhere with us. He is the sweetest boy and we just adore him. Thank you Competition Subaru for making our family whole again!
