Making Strides in Spring Valley

It’s time for a building update – only a few more months to go! There’s certainly more work to be done, but each day we are making great strides towards our brand new Chevrolet dealership in Spring Valley.

Sponsorships & Upcoming Events

Polar Plunge

On February 11th, James Albien & James Schmidt took the ultimate plunge to support Special Olympics Minnesota!

The Polar Plunge is the biggest fundraiser for Special Olympics Minnesota. All funds raised by Plungers provide year-round training and services to thousands of athletes with intellectual disabilities across the state.

We’d like to thank you both for braving the elements for the sake of a wonderful cause such as this!

Subaru Loves to Help

Subaru Loves to Help means that we are dedicated to supporting those who need it most in our communities – we believe our communities get stronger when everyone is cared for.

This is why we chose to donate our Subaru Loves to Help socks to the Dorothy Day House in Rochester – a temporary homeless shelter for people in crisis & in need of basic essentials.

A big thank you to the Subaru Sales Team for getting these socks together & taking time out of your days to drop them off.

Chili Cook Off

This time around, we decided to do things a little different for our Employee Appreciation Lunch!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the first ever PAG Chili Cook Off! And thank you to our executive team for taste-testing every single pot of chili. Lastly, we want to thank YOU – we want all of our employees to know that we appreciate them & their hard work every day.

A big round of applause for our first ever PAG Chili Cook Off winners, Craig Easler & Emily Tollefson. It’s probably the thing you do best.

National Share a Smile Day

March 1st was National Share a Smile Day!

To honor the day, our team put together & dropped off treat bags with hand written notes of encouragement for children & families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Rochester.

The Ronald McDonald House is a nonprofit that provides a home away from home and gives support to families seeking medical care for their children.

Thank you to everyone who helped with this – you truly shared a lot of smiles!
