Scout Troop 229, joined by the Cub Scouts, held their monthly meeting at NFL Subaru, where they respectfully retired the old flag during a Flag Retirement Ceremony and then with a new state and US flag preformed a Flag Raising Ceremony. Following the ceremonies, the Scouts and Cub Scouts enjoyed pizza and cupcakes before concluding the evening's meeting. Thank you to Nicole and Seth for opening up your dealership to our Troop and for trusting Troop 229 to preform your ceremony.
Amazing car buying experience - Jess J
I have to be honest—I am completely blown away by the experience we had yesterday at Subaru. I've been searching for a vehicle that could tow my vintage Airstream Salon, but because I have a handicap, I can't drive a large vehicle. I had been looking at Volkswagen since that's what I previously owned, but they told me I could trade in my car for $5,000 down and still pay $800 a month. I left there in December completely shocked. My daughters and I have recently gone through a domestic violence situation involving my younger daughter's father. He was our rock—our go-to person. He had the pickup truck and he built my Airstream. Now that he's gone, I've had to learn how to do all of this on my own. A client of mine mentioned how much she loves her Subaru and that it has a 3,000-pound towing capacity. I was stunned. I started looking it up on my phone and almost instantly got a call inviting me to come in. I told them I had only had two and a half hours of sleep, had no money to put down, and absolutely needed a vehicle that could tow. After my Volkswagen experience, I was very skeptical. I cannot say enough good things about everyone there. From Andrew, who welcomed me in the parking lot, to Quan, and the finance manager (I'm so sorry I forgot his name)—every single person was kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. The dealership itself felt warm and calming, from the beautiful smell to the healthy live plants. Andrew is absolutely amazing. He worked everything out for me, and I left with the most incredible vehicle—something I truly didn't think was possible. I am so grateful and so blessed. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Thank You NFL Subaru - Isabella P
Imagine facing daily life without shoes. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent needs across the country—including right here in Fort Lauderdale—this is a harsh reality. On January 12, 2026, North Fort Lauderdale Subaru donated Adult and Children shoes to Broward Partnership. These essential items provide more than warmth and protection—they help restore dignity and positively impact a child's mental and emotional well-being. Together, with North Fort Lauderdale Subaru we are taking meaningful steps toward a more hopeful future for those who need it most. Thank you again for your continued support.
Fifth Annual 'Fall in Love' Adoption Event Success - Melissa T
One of our favorite adoption stories from this year’s Subaru Loves Pets® event is Princessa Dairy. She was rescued from a hoarder situation along with nine other dogs, arriving severely matted, filthy, and extremely shy around people. This event was her very first adoption outing—and it changed her life. Thanks to the visibility and supportive environment of the Subaru event, Princessa met her perfect match. Her new dad, Richard, spent nearly two hours sitting with her, patiently earning her trust. The joy on his face when we told him he was approved to adopt her was unforgettable. And the magic didn’t stop there. At the event, Princessa was reunited with her buddy Swayze, another dog rescued from the same hoarding case. The moment they recognized each other, she lit up in a way we hadn’t seen before. Richard immediately saw how special their bond was—and because of the Subaru event bringing them together, he chose to adopt both of them. This beautiful double adoption simply wouldn’t have happened without the Subaru Loves Pets® Program. What began as two dogs coming from a home overwhelmed by neglect, filth, and fleas has transformed into a brand-new beginning. Today, Princessa and Swayze are safe, cherished, and living their best lives with their loving new dad. It was a moment that brought everyone to tears and reminded us exactly why these events and our rescue work matters so much.

North Fort Lauderdale Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Karen D

Achieving Professional and Personal Success - Susan M
Thanks to the unwavering support of Wael Ghali, Managing Partner, and his team at North Fort Lauderdale Subaru, the Dan Marino Foundation has been able to change many lives through the generosity of Subaru’s Share the Love annual events. Since 2021, they have donated over $163,000, to the Foundation, funding that helps children, teens, and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities reach their fullest potential. One of the many lives transformed by this support is Leo. When Leo first arrived at Marino Campus in 2018, he was quiet, unsure of himself, and had never held a job. He spent most of his time at home, playing video games, with few social connections and little sense of what his future might hold. At Marino Campus, Leo enrolled in the Computer Hardware and Networking program, where he began to build not only technical skills but also confidence. Internships at the Broward County Property Appraiser’s Office and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts helped him grow professionally and personally, teaching him the value of teamwork, responsibility, and perseverance. After graduating in 2019, Leo joined the Dan Marino Foundation as part of the IT support team, where he worked for two years before moving to a role in hardware assembly at Evolution Interconnect Systems. There, he proved himself as a capable and dependable employee. Today, Leo’s life is thriving. He lives independently with his girlfriend Gabby and their dog, London. He works full-time at the Publix Distribution Warehouse, has formed meaningful friendships with his coworkers, and enjoys a full social life. He still loves video games—but now he also plays pickleball regularly. One of Leo’s most exciting milestones is his enrollment in the Foundation’s driving program, where he’s preparing to earn his driver’s license, an extraordinary accomplishment, especially considering that only 30% of individuals with autism ever do. Wael Ghali has been a champion of this program, ensuring students like Leo have access to critical, real-world training tools. Leo’s story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when individuals are given the opportunity to grow in a supportive community. From a shy young man with an uncertain future to a confident, independent professional, Leo is now on the road to a limitless future—and it’s support from partners like Wael Ghali and Subaru that makes it all possible.
Another successful Fall in Love Adoption Event with Good Karma Pet Rescue at NFL Subuaru - Melissa T
This was our fourth annual "Fall in Love" adoption event partnership with North Fort Lauderdale Subaru! We LOVE working with Vanessa, Wael, and the rest of the staff at this location. They are always so amazing & welcoming to our foster families & volunteers! We had another fantastic event on October 19, 2024 with about 26 cats and dogs in attendance. We received several adoption applications thanks to this event but the highlight of the day was our shy little scruffy dog named Sisto meeting his future forever home during this event! He was rescued from a hoarding situation originally, extremely matted & neglected. It took several months for Sisto to even warm up to humans and he always had a shy demeanor. We decided Sisto was ready to start looking for an adopter so he came to the Subaru adoption event where the PERFECT adopter came in and fell in love with him! They applied on the spot and Sisto was happily adopted and is doing great in his new home! We're SOOO thankful for North Ft Lauderdale Subaru for hosting this amazing event year after year to celebrate Subaru's #MakeADogsDay campaign every October! This is one of our favorite events & we look forward to working with NFL Subaru next year!
