Each year, via the Subaru Share The Love Event, Walker's Renton Subaru partners with the Renton Schools Foundation to support the Renton community and Renton Schools. This year, Walker's Renton Subaru was able to raise and donate $69,945 to support Students in STEM, music & arts, literacy and teacher grants.
Each year this unique partnership has funded and advanced the mission of the Renton Schools Foundation. For more than six years, Walker’s Renton Subaru, through the Subaru Share The Love Event, has made an incredible impact on students and classrooms throughout the Renton School District. Walker's Renton Subaru has donated a total of $613,000 to the Renton Schools Foundation.
Renton Schools Foundation estimates Walker's has improved the lives of over 16,000 students. Funding provided by Walker's Renton Subaru has directly impacted music and arts in classrooms including funding for new trumpets, flutes, basses, cellos, elementary sheet music and a new high school drama program. Music and arts are not the only programs impacted. Free STEM and robotics summer school camps for hundreds of elementary, middle and high school students were funded by donations from Walker's Renton Subaru. Additionally, MyOn digital literacy programs were purchased to personalize student literacy and digital reading content that students can use at school and at home. Even funding for teacher grants were allocated to directly impact classroom projects, after-school programs, hands-on classroom resources, video production equipment and enhanced student learning materials.
