Ullr Fest - Sponsored by Ertle Subaru - Ashley B
We are proud to share that this year's Ullr Fest at Camelback Mountain was a memorable celebration of winter tradition - made even more special with the generous support of Ertle Subaru. As one of our most anticipated annual events, Ullr Fest continues to honor ski culture, community, and the spirit of the upcoming snow season. A longtime highlight of the event is our signature bonfire, where artificial skis are ceremonially sacrificed in honor or Ullr, the Norse god of show - a tradition that draws both local skiers and first-time attendees year after year. Thanks to Ertle Subaru's contribution, we were able to sustain this iconic element of the event while also expanding the overall experience. Ertle Subaru's support also allowed us to introduce new children's activities, making Ullr Fest more inclusive and family-friendly than ever before. These additions helped broaden the event's appeal while preserving the authenticity and heritage of this beloved annual tradition. We are incredibly grateful for Ertle Subaru for their continued partnership and for helping elevate Ullr Fest through both sponsorship and engagement. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to growing this tradition together for years to come.
Howl O Ween Parade - Ashley B
We are excited to share that this year's Howl-O-Ween Dog Parade at Camelback was a howling success - made possible with the generous support of Ertle Subaru. With 60 participating dogs, the event was filled with creativity, laughter, and an incredible sense of community. Thanks to Ertle Subaru's support, along with the enthusiastic participation of our dog owners, we were able to purchase awesome prizes for a variety of crowd-favorite categories, including Best in Show, Pet/Owner Look-Alike, Group Costume, and Best Celebrity. The costumes were impressive, the competition was friendly, and the energy throughout the parade was unforgettable. From spooky to silly, each participant brought the Halloween spirit to life, making the event enjoyable for both spectators and competitors alike. The creativity on display truly exceeded expectations and made judging no easy task. We are incredibly grateful for Ertle Subaru for believing in this event and helping bring it to life, as well as to everyone who participated and supported the parade.

Help with Classroom Essentials - Kimberly J
The Subaru money was so valuable to my classroom this year. I started the year with 27 students. I used the money for paper towels, markers, stickers, bookmarks, and other essentials that are required in an elementary classroom. Typically I buy all these things myself. Last year, I spent almost a hundred dollars just on paper towels for the year. This year, I have a huge supply thanks to the Subaru grant! Thank you so much!!
Classroom Donations - Kristie I
This story comes from one very grateful and happy 3rd grade teacher. This month I was one of ten classroom teachers at my small community elementary school who received your amazing gift box of classroom materials along with $500 to spend on our classroom and students. Having the opportunity to shop for items I both want and need for my classroom was such a gift. In the increasingly challenging world we live in, so many teachers, students and families struggle to provide students with all they need. Your generous donation allowed me to purchase an abundance of classroom items to support my students both academically and emotionally. I am truly thankful for your generosity.

Pups cooled off in our Wave Pool, floated along the Lazy River, enjoyed delicious pup cups (courtesy of Ritas Custard), and showed their spirit cheering on fellow furry friends at Dock Dogs. We are especially proud to share that event admissions raised over $2,000 for AWSOM Animal Shelter of Monroe a testament to the power of community and compassionate partners like Ertle Subaru.

How $200 Made All The Difference - Shelly S
TeamTommy Inc., a pediatric cancer foundation based in the Slate Belt, set out to raise $10,000 in support of children and families bravely facing cancer. As the bingo/tricky tray closed, we were just $200 short of reaching that goal. One of our volunteers who is also an Ertle Subaru employee, mentioned what occurred and what happened next was nothing short of incredible. Without hesitation, Subaru stepped in and donated the final $200, pushing us across the finish line. Because of their generosity, we didn't just meet our goal - we celebrated it with joy, knowing every dollar will go toward supporting children in treatment and their families. This story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes it's the "last little bit" that changes everything. We are so grateful to Subaru for believing in our mission and helping us make hope possible.

Helping with Education - Kasey R
Ertle Subaru was kind enough to give money towards school supplies for my students who need them. Each year there are students who do not have folders, notebooks and pencils. This could be for a variety of reasons. All students want to fit in and have what they need. With the help of this money, I was able to purchase the needed items so that I could provide the supplies without hesitation. I will be able to continue this throughout the year so that no student will struggle with organization. Thank you Ertle Subaru for making it easier for me to help my students get off to a good start this year.
Happy Hour Street Festival - Eric S
Happy Hour Streetfest was created as a way to give back to the community that stood by Happy Hour Bar & Grill through the challenges of Covid. What started as a neighborhood gathering has grown into a major annual music festival that now operates as a nonprofit organization. Each year, proceeds from the festival go directly toward supporting local schools through music scholarships, ensuring the next generation has access to the arts. A huge part of making this possible is thanks to our dedicated partners. Ertle Subaru has been a proud sponsor of Happy Hour Streetfest for several years, and their ongoing commitment has played a vital role in helping us grow while strengthening our shared community. Together, were keeping the music alive and giving back where it matters most.

Together, we are growing greener, healthier communities for generations to come within Stroudsburg and the surrounding areas. This was the largest corporate community tree distribution ever and we were happy to be a part of it. Planting didn't stop with just our customers-there were many employees who took part in growing a greener community. It was truly a magical day!

Zachs Effect Third Annual Golf Tournament - Kaley E
On July 25th 2025, we proudly hosted the Third Annual Zachs Effect Golf Tournament at Great Bear Golf Club, bringing together family, friends, and supporters to celebrate Zachs life, legacy, and love for community. Zachs Effect was created to honor the incredible spirit of Zachary Englehardt whose passion for helping others and his encouragement, motivation, and unwavering support for those around him left a lasting impact on everyone he met. A dedicated member of the community and a Type 1 diabetic himself, Zach inspired us to create something meaningful in his memory a mission to help others live better, fuller lives. Each summer, this tournament serves not only as a tribute to Zach but as a powerful fundraiser that helps provide diabetic alert dogs to individuals living with Type 1 diabetes a cause deeply connected to Zachs journey and love for animals. This year, we were thrilled to raise over $15,000, which will be donated directly to Diabetic Alert Dogs of America to help unite more families with life-saving service dogs.

Ertle Subaru Sharing the Love with the Monroe County Hospice House - Denise D
The Monroe County Hospice House is extremely grateful to have been chosen as a hometown charity for Ertle Subarus Share the Love event. Since its reopening in 2019 following a groundswell of community support, the Monroe County Hospice House is the only location in Monroe County for inpatient hospice care. With six inpatient rooms with private bathrooms, a family style kitchen and living room, and a view of a peaceful garden patio with native flowers and plants, this unique facility looks and feels more like a home than a medical building. Through an individualized plan of care, we help you and your family make the most of those final days and achieve serenity at its end. Thank you to the customers and partners of Ertle Subaru who helped make this gift possible to ensure inpatient hospice care remains available to all in need in Monroe County.
Ertle Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Karen D
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Stroudsburg, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Ertle Subaru is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like Ertle Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/17/2025, Ertle Subaru donated 120 coats to Pocono Area Transitional Housing (Path). These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.
Stroud Lodge FOP Golf Tournament - Stroud L
Ertle assisted us with our golf tournament by donating to our local lodge. The Fraternal Order of Police is about 300,000 members strong national. We help support legislation, support elections, offer assistance to our membership, training for law enforcement officers and more. With Ertle's assistance we were able to put some funding aside for an upcoming conference. Thank you.
Quiet Valleys Legacy Gets a Boost from Ertle Subaru! - Julie K
It has been quite a journey from the 182-horsepower engine of the rugged Outback at Ertle Subaru back to the two-horsepower wagon at the colonial era homestead which is now known as Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm. While both are located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, there exists another timeless bond between thema mutual commitment to getting things done, reliability, and the significance of core values. As a nonprofit organization, Quiet Valley relies on every dollar to fulfill its mission of preserving agricultural history for the education and enlightenment of future generations. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Jim Ertle and the entire Ertle Subaru team for their invaluable support in helping us achieve this goal. Their generous contributions have made a significant impact on the museum and grounds, and ultimately, on the thousands of visitors who come through our gates each year. As a functioning living history museum and farm, we face the same daily tasks and challenges as would any small operational farm. Key activities include animal care, haymaking, gardening, and harvesting. The difference is that the land known as Quiet Valley has been continuously farmed since the 18th century, resulting in structures that require the specialized care of centuries-old buildings to continue serving as public historical education spaces. Reflecting on Ertle's essential support, their financial gifts have allowed us to acquire a much-needed newer farm truck (yes, these modern things keep us going behind the historical scenes!). Additionally, their ongoing donations have been crucial for the restoration of our iconic 1860s bank barn, aiding both the structural restoration phase in 2024 and the current masonry work in 2025. This 1850s barn is the heart of the farm; easily recognizable, irreplaceable, and essential for providing safe shelter for our animals. It serves an additional, and perhaps equally as crucial, purpose as a time-honored facility and a unique learning environment, showcasing traditional and historical farming practices for thousands of visitors. Moreover, Jim has graciously offered us the use of his digital billboard on a nearby major highway to promote Quiet Valleys significant events. Through Jim and Timothy Hammond, Ertles Business Development Director, we have gained valuable marketing insights for creating billboards, learning what truly captures people's attention. We genuinely appreciate the time and effort Jim and his staff dedicate to sharing their exceptional knowledge in marketing and we are forever grateful for all their incredible monetary gifts have helped us to accomplish over the years!
Helping Provide Opportunities for Students Education - Jimmy T
Ertle Subaru has been a staple in our community providing means for people to achieve their college education. Their support of the Bill Bergen Memorial Golf Tournament is a small example of their commitment to building community leaders. The mission of this event is to provide financial assistance to college students in the form of scholarship. Since the beginning of this initiative the event has raised over $250,000 dollars that go directly to student scholarship. The award is given annually to students that show qualities of servant leadership, work ethic, and competitive drive. The past recipients have ranged from majors education, athletic training, business management, criminal justice, sports management, exercise science, psychology and many more. Ertle Subaru has gone above and beyond to help support these young students. Students have been academic All-Americans, Deans List students, and people of high character. It is obvious that Ertle Subaru is dedicated to the development of future community leaders. They believe in in philanthropy, and their steadfast commitment has been reciprocated from past East Stroudsburg University students who have also supported the event. It is a true pleasure to work alongside of their amazing staff. At East Stroudsburg University, we are blessed to have such a strong community that believe in our students. Ertle Subaru is the gold standard. Special thanks for their continued support, and we look forward to the future WARRIOR students making the same impact in their communities. #BloodRunsTHICK
