June marked Subaru Loves to Care month, Jenkins Subaru in Bridgeport has partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to bring warmth to cancer survivors being treated at the Cecil B. Highland Jr., & Barbara B. Highland Cancer Center at United Hospital Center (UHC). Through their generosity, more than 150 blankets were donated.
“This kind gesture makes a huge difference and warms the hearts of our patients, as well as puts a smile on their faces during the most trying of times,” said Maggie Lowther, RN, BSN, OCN, oncology program coordinator at the Cecil B. Highland, Jr. & Barbara B. Highland Cancer Center at UHC. “I want to personally thank Jenkins Subaru and LLS for conveying such care and hope to those who need it most.”
Subaru retailers and the LLS joined together to deliver 230,000 blankets through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative for cancer survivors across the country.
“Jenkins Subaru and Subaru of America are happy to have made this gift possible. UHC and its staff are highly valued assets to the community and state, and we have enjoyed working with them once again to spread our message of care and love to cancer survivors in the region,” said Matt Jenkins, general manager at Jenkins Subaru.
