VALDOSTA – Subaru of America and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society are working together to provide support and warmth to cancer patients and their families in communities across the country. 

During Subaru’s “Loves to Care” month, messages of hope for cancer patients were written by visitors to the Valdosta Subaru retailer, O’Steen Subaru, 4140 North Valdosta Road, according to a press release. 

The messages, along with blankets donated by O’Steen Subaru of Valdosta, were delivered July 12 to the South Georgia Medical Center Pearlman Cancer to keep patients warm as they continue their fight against cancer.

“Despite the summer heat, many cancer patients get cold easily. Since treatments can be lengthy, the Cancer Center has a year-round need for blankets. These bright, colorful throws and messages of hope will be truly appreciated by our patients,” said Bridgett Young, administrative director of the Pearlman Cancer Center. 

According to Chip O’Steen, the Subaru Love Promise is a promise to do right by partnering with non-profit education, health, community, environment, and animal organizations – “to set Subaru apart through our deeds and the deeds of our partners.”
