In February of 2022, the Columbus Division of Police, through the Columbus Police Foundation, hosted our first ever Valentine’s Day Dinner and Dance in which we went to a local senior home and served the residents dinner. After dinner, police personnel interacted with the residents and danced with them. The event in 2022 was a great success, however, we strived to make it even better and include more seniors. The result was a 2023 Valentine’s Day Dinner and Dance in which we hosted senior residents from three local homes. This large scale event could not have been possible without the partnership we had with Byers Airport Subaru through their Love Promise®. Beyond a financial donation to help make the event successful, Byers Airport Subaru personnel provided transportation to residents from one of the senior homes, and also volunteered their time in assisting the police with serving dinner. The event was extremely successful thanks to the personnel at Byers Airport Subaru.
Volunteers of America - Veterans Resource Center is super proud to have Byers Subaru Auto Group on our team.

There were lots of cheer and plenty of laughter, needless to say, we had a blast! We are beyond blessed to have you as a community partner, and we sincerely appreciate all you do for our Veterans. Thank you!!
Beechwood Elementary School is fortunate to have a wonderful partnership with Byers Airport Subaru. They have supported our teachers in so many ways. This past Friday, February 17, was Random Acts of Kindness Day and they brought treats for our staff to show appreciation for what we do for our kids. We are so grateful for the support that we receive from Byers. Lindsey Tinsley is wonderful to work with and we are looking forward to working with her and the staff at Byers in the future.
“The Franklin County Sheriff's Office runs a free weeklong school for law enforcement agencies wanting to start a therapy dog program in their communities. These dogs are used in various assignments including community outreach, victim advocacy, and officer wellness. For the past several years, Byers Airport Subaru has partnered with us to provide food to the students during the week. We greatly appreciate their generosity and would like to give a shout-out to Marketing Director Lindsey Tinsley who has always went out of her way to make sure our needs were met. Thanks guys!”
On October 15th, 2022 Byers Airport Subaru hosted an adoption and microchipping event to support the foster program for local rescue Columbus Dog Connection. While only four of our eight adoptable dogs were able to be present, we were able to get all four adopted! Betty is our senior girl who met with a previous adopter at the event. Betty had multiple mammary masses removed and a dental cleaning with multiple dental extractions done prior to her adoption. She was an owner surrender and the previous owner had never taken her to the vet before. Brice is a young pup that we saved from starvation in September. He was living on the railroad tracks and wouldn't let anyone close enough to him to take him home. The two women who emailed Columbus Dog Connection asking for help both came to Byers Subaru Airport for our Subaru Loves Pets event to meet him. He also had his new family come for a first meeting at the event and it was love at first sight! While Rhett and Marshall's new adoptive families did not come to the event, the pictures from the event helped them get noticed. We appreciate all the love and support we receive from the Byers Airport Subaru family!
I am the Secretary at Beechwood Elementary School in Whitehall, Ohio. I am writing to let you know how much we appreciate and value the partnership that our school has had with Byers Airport Subaru for the past few years. With the Subaru Loves Learning program, they have provided our teachers with STEM books and classroom supplies. As part of Subaru Loves Learning in conjunction with the Adopt-a-Classroom initiative, they have awarded our teachers money for classroom resources. They have also been a source of encouragement to our staff with little things like a school bus full of thank you notes for teachers and an unexpected Friday Surprise of snacks and treats! Our students and staff have also been involved in the Subaru Loves the Earth Recycling Project since last Spring. We returned four filled boxes before the end of the last school year. This year we have continued the project and we recently gave eight filled boxes to Byers to send off to TerraCycle in New Jersey. Our students are very excited that we will be receiving a picnic table in the spring and even more excited that they had a part in the whole process! We absolutely love working with Lindsey Tinsley and the Byers Airport Subaru team. We look forward to our continuing partnership.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is so grateful for Byers Airport Subaru to partner with us again this year to deliver blankets and art kits to The James. Our goal is to one day live in a world without blood cancers. While we continue to make strides toward achieving this goal, our mission is to ensure that patients and their families are comfortable and have the resources they need to help them along their cancer journey. In June, we were able to visit The James where we met with a huge group of nurses and doctors from the oncology unit as we delivered the blankets and art kits to them. They were so grateful for the donation that would go to the many patients that they treat there every day. Thank you so much to Michelle and her team at The James for being there to accept this donation. Whether it is a blood cancer diagnosis they are facing or another diagnosis, we want patients and their families to feel some sense of care and comfort during their stay at the hospital. Byers Airport Subaru is helping us to do just that with their generous donation of blankets and art kits. By supplying this donation, they are providing warmth and comfort to patients through a very difficult time in their life. We are so grateful to have worked with a team like this who is passionate about helping others and can help The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society achieve their mission. Thank you so much to Lindsey, Andrew, Austin and the rest of the Byers Airport Subaru Team for your donation and for your care to the patients at The James.

Thanks to donations and volunteer work from Byers Airport Subaru, Starfish Assignment was able to host a series of five block parties in partnership with Columbus Division of Police in five underserved areas of Columbus. We were able to come together with games, food, sports, dancing, and a very popular dunk tank. None of this would have been possible without Byers Airport Subaru, as they were with us every step of the way, from project inception through cleanup, and we're so grateful to them for the smiles they put on the faces of neighbors and officers alike. Event while they we were still at the event, people were asking us to come back next year. What a great time! Thank you, Byers Airport Subaru!
This past month our Byers Airport Subaru team had a great time collecting bicycles for the Columbus chapter of Starfish Assignment. This amazing organization works with local police departments to help identify areas of need in the communities they live and serve in. Specializing in micro-actions, small efforts lead to big results. This is exactly what happened when we helped collect bikes and provide technicians for their bike drive. Over 400 bikes, and helmets were donated to the Bikes and Badges event and fun was had by children and adults alike.
