Newtown Edgmont Friends & Neighbors is always proud to support and recognize meaningful community connections that promote our magazine’s mission of Bringing People Together. This month, we are pleased to highlight one of our loyal Sponsors, Rafferty Subaru, and their commitment to supporting local nonprofit organizations.
On Wednesday, May 1st, Kevin Rafferty and his team at Rafferty Subaru presented a check for $20,720 to Sow Good Now, a 501(c) (3) public charity dedicated to empowering youth in underserved areas through sports.
The award is part of Subaru’s ‘Share the Love’ program, which supports groups that make a meaningful impact in their communities. Mary Fischer-Nassib, President and Co-Founder of Sow Good Now accepted the donation from the team at Rafferty Subaru. “Thanks to their generous award, Sow Good Now can continue its mission of connecting volunteer athletes with youth in underserved communities through skill sharing and equipment drives,” she explained. “Since 2018, Sow Good Now has positively impacted over 1,700 young people, facilitated over 6,000 volunteer hours and distributed more than 2,500 pieces of athletic equipment to local children in need.”
Kevin Rafferty, Owner of Rafferty Subaru, explained how the partnership came about. “Our team at Rafferty Subaru has consistently been committed to supporting local schools and organizations for the past 47 years,” he said. “We are always looking for ways to help promote worthy causes.” Kevin said that he likes to keep it local while searching for partnerships. “65% of our Subaru sales come from the residents of Delaware County, so we knew that is where we needed to focus.”
