Last weekend, I witnessed something extraordinary at Flatirons Subaru amidst a biting snowstorm. After a full day’s work, our team transformed our dealership into a beautiful wedding venue for James Wells and his bride, Emily. 🚗💍 This event was a true testament to our culture – a culture that values support and celebration, especially in the face of adversity. It’s about embracing new experiences and thriving in the uncomfortable, which perfectly aligns with Subaru’s ‘Love Promise’ motto. 🌟❤️ I had the honor of returning to my roots as a wedding photographer for this special occasion. Capturing the moments of joy and love at James and Emily’s wedding was incredibly moving. Editing these photos reminded me how fortunate I am to be surrounded by such inspiring people. 📸🥰 My marketing manager, Davis, joined the photography, helping me capture these memories. It was an excellent opportunity for me to mentor him in using the camera to tell stories, adding another layer of depth to this remarkable day. 📷👨🏫 Thank you to Scott Crouch for his willingness to embrace such a unique and memorable event. Congratulations to James and Emily Wells on your beautiful wedding day! Your story adds another chapter to the unique tapestry of our Flatirons Subaru family. 🥂💑 Here’s to embracing diversity, overcoming challenges, and coming together as a family, no matter the weather. ❄️💪

Every last Sunday of the month, there's a special buzz at Flatirons Subaru. It's where our community of cyclists gathers, brought together by our shared love for biking and helping others. Our non-profit, Supertraining, focuses on supporting world health, human rights, and the environment. We raise funds through these sporting events, and Flatirons Subaru plays a big part in this. Their Service Drive turns into our meeting spot – a place to start our rides, meet new people, and enjoy some pizza. After a good ride, we all love to relax, eat together, and talk about the day. It's also a chance for everyone to donate to the causes we care about. I'm deeply grateful for the support from Flatirons Subaru, whose space and volunteers help make these events truly special. It's more than just cycling for us. It’s about coming together as a community, supporting important causes, and enjoying the moments we share. Every month brings new faces and new stories, and I'm excited to see how we continue to make a difference together.
As a parent and supporter of Boulder County United's DPL league, I am filled with immense appreciation for Flatirons Subaru's generous involvement in our community's youth soccer program. Their sponsorship at our recent golf tournament fundraiser, particularly the $500 hole sponsorship, significantly enhanced our efforts to provide a high-quality soccer experience for the girls, including my 12-year-old daughter who plays in the league. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly Flatirons Subaru's provision of a Hole-In-One car giveaway. This amazing contribution not only added excitement to the tournament but also demonstrated their deep commitment to supporting local sports and community initiatives. It's gestures like these that truly make a difference, fostering a sense of community and encouraging the development of our young athletes. The support from Flatirons Subaru goes beyond mere financial assistance; it serves as an inspiration to our girls, showing them the power of community backing and the importance of striving for excellence both on and off the field. We are incredibly thankful for their support and look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership that helps in nurturing the talent and dreams of young soccer enthusiasts in Boulder County.
As CEO of Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible generosity we've experienced from Flatirons Subaru. During their Share The Love event, Flatirons Subaru presented us with a donation of $25,000, a gesture that speaks volumes about their commitment to our community.

These gift cards will be crucial in purchasing essential supplies that directly improve our students' learning experiences. From educational materials to much-needed classroom resources, this donation empowers us to better support our educational programs.

This contribution will touch the lives of many students and is a testament to the power of community partnership in fostering educational growth.
Each year, during one weekend in October, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley hosts a Subaru Love Pets Adoption weekend. The goal of the Adoption Event is to find deserving animals homes by highlighting our partnership with Flatirons Subaru, our local Subaru dealership, and the generosity of the ASPCA. This year we offered half-price adoptions for adult animals ages 3 years+ at a multi-day onsite adoption event. This year our adoption event was held from October 21st- 23rd and over 30 animals found loving homes. This was also the weekend where the story of Chase and Cheeto began. Chase grew up surrounded by dogs and all the love they bring. The last couple months he had been living without a dog and started to really miss that presence in his home. Being an advocate for shelter animal adoptions and local to Boulder, Chase knew it was time to check the Humane Society of Boulder Valley’s website and see what dogs were available. Online, he found an adorable 1yr old German Shephard. This sparked his interest and he decided to go to the shelter for a meet and greet. While at the shelter and on his way to meet the 1yr old pup, he caught sight of an 8.5yr old Pit Bull Mix staring up at him with the most sincere and gentle eyes. He knew at that moment he had to meet him. That dog was Cheeto. The minute Chase walked in to meet Cheeto, Cheeto immediately rested his head in Chase’s hands. From the moment they met, Cheeto showed his sweet and loving personality, reminding Chase of the first dog he had. It did not take long for Chase to know that he was going to bring Cheeto home. On October 21st, Chase adopted Cheeto. Since that day, Cheeto has been enjoying life. He loves running around his new backyard, going on his daily walks, and always finding time to cuddle! Being the extravert he is, you can find him wherever the people are, which is why he has a bed in multiple rooms. Now he never has to miss out on the action! Oh, and Cheeto will tell you it is just not an option to stop petting him! Chase is grateful he found Cheeto at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley exclaiming, “He is the best dog ever, I am so happy”. We are ecstatic they found each other during the Subaru Love Pets Adoption Weekend. We cannot wait to see what the rest of the story brings for Chase and Cheeto.
I am immensely proud to share my experience with Flatirons Subaru, a retailer that goes above and beyond in providing exceptional service and supporting causes close to our hearts. Flatirons Subaru recently sponsored the Bowties & Tails event, a significant initiative benefiting the Canine Partners of the Rockies. The work this organization does is invaluable, dedicating their efforts to training service dogs to assist individuals with disabilities, thereby enhancing their quality of life. Being a passionate advocate for community welfare and animal well-being, I was genuinely touched by Flatirons Subaru’s commitment to such a meaningful cause. Their participation and sponsorship not only underscored their dedication to community service but also highlighted their willingness to contribute to the well-being of our canine companions, who play a crucial role in our lives. The involvement of Flatirons Subaru in the Bowties & Tails event is a testament to their belief in giving back to the community and the Subaru Love Promise®. Their contribution and support were instrumental in the success of the event, fostering an environment of care, commitment, and connection between individuals and animals. I witnessed firsthand the joy and difference this event made, both in the lives of the people and the dogs, contributing to the formation of life-changing partnerships between service dogs and those in need. The enthusiasm and dedication of the Flatirons Subaru team were contagious, radiating positivity and encouraging others to participate and contribute. It’s refreshing and inspiring to see a business like Flatirons Subaru, renowned for their exceptional service, extend their commitment to community welfare and causes that make a real difference in the lives of individuals and animals alike. Their actions echo the values that Subaru holds dear, fostering love, respect, and a sense of community.
Dear Flatirons Subaru Team, On behalf of There With Care, I wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous $30,000 contribution as part of the Subaru Share the Love® Event. Your donation is changing lives in profound ways. One such example is the Johnson family, whose youngest daughter, Lucy, is battling a rare form of leukemia. Your contribution has allowed us to step in, providing meals, housecleaning, transportation, and sibling support. This assistance has given the Johnsons the chance to focus on Lucy and each other during this tough time. Flatirons Subaru's not just providing financial support; it's a beacon of hope for families like the Johnsons. It's a reminder to them, and many others, that they are not alone during their darkest hours. Thank you, Flatirons Subaru, for demonstrating the true meaning of the Love Promise, and for your commitment to making a difference in our community. Sincerely, Hannah Hostetler Director of Community Engagement
Check out this heartwarming story! Flatirons Subaru , POWDR , Eldora , and @subaru_usa came together to give a brand new 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness to a lucky elementary school teacher from Longmont, Colorado. This amazing teacher entered the contest at one of last year's Subarus Winterfest events and was randomly chosen out of 30,000+ entries! We're thrilled to see such a deserving individual receive such a fantastic prize. Congratulations to the winner, and thank you to everyone involved in making this incredible moment happen!
Thank you specifically to Andres Cantieri! And thank you to Flatirons Subaru for the most singularly positive car dealership encounter of my entire life, this is not a superlative. This review is for a dealership that had no skin in the game and treated us as if we just purchased a fleet of vehicles, truly incredible. Words cannot describe what a positive experience I've had dealing with Flatirons Subaru! A very long story but my father elected to purchase his last new car while visiting me in Oregon. The car was purchased locally and shipped to Flatirons Subaru so my Dad could take delivery at home. I took a huge chance hoping to find someone at the dealership that would help with the delivery (my Dad hadn't purchased a new car in 21 years) and only contacted Flatirons after the car was shipped. I was told the person to talk to at the dealership was Andres Cantieri. Andres picked up the ball and ran with it, had the car cleaned when delivered and was ready to help him get his car on the road. Without any asking, Andres went totally over-the-top and made arrangements to pick up Dad to take him to the dealership so he didn't need to find a ride or take the bus. Even more crazy, he picked Dad up in one of the dealership's classic cars, the 1983 Subaru GL US Ski Team edition!! He took so much time and care explaining all the new features of the car, how to use them and how to stay safe while driving such a new vehicle (it's been a very long time for Dad since he had a new car!). Perfect seems to fit as a word to describe the assistance. Words cannot express the level of gratitude to Andres and the the rest of the Flatirons team. We didn't buy the car there but they treated us with a level of decency and respect I've never had before, it was so unexpected and amazing. Every time we need service, we'll go there. If we ever need to purchase another car it will be a Subaru and I will commit to buy it at Flatirons, no matter where I'm living. Thank you all, and especially Andres, again. You've made my entire day, week and year infinitely better. I can only hope to return the generosity soon.
We are grateful for Flatirons Subaru and their participation in the 28th Annual Boulder Shelter Golf Classic! Thanks to them, it was a great success, raising more than $47,000 to support the critical services provided every day to adults experiencing homelessness in our community. The team at Flatirons Subaru generously sponsored $7,500 to support the Shelter in conducting this work and fulfilling our mission: to create avenues to stable housing for our community’s homeless adults, from a foundation of supportive and safe shelter. We couldn’t do this without them!
When Flatirons Subaru began hosting the ride with its larger facilities, the ride blew up to host as many as 200 riders! Because of Flatirons Subaru’s partnership with Project Supertraining, 100% of the donations go towards benefiting a different local nonprofit organization. They are generous enough to provide us with a Subaru Ascent, catered lunch for the riders, and a great facility where riders can stretch out and relax. One of the benefits of this ride is that it makes an often and otherwise daunting car dealership a comfortable and hospitable place for the Boulder community.
Shortly after adopting my dog, Jeff, we discovered he had a murmur in his heart. Not knowing how long Jeff has left in this world, I decided to take him on a journey of a lifetime to see the world and its beauty. The team at Flatirons Subaru was kind enough to provide Jeff and I a Subaru Ascent for our trip across the west coast. Their kindness and understanding meant the world to Jeff and I, and we were able to travel in comfort and style thanks to their support. Thanks again, Flatirons Subaru, for making our trip a success and for providing us with the support we needed.
Flatirons Subaru has changed the lives of thousands of pets in our community through their partnership with the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. Scott, Brian, and Morgan are there whenever we need them to help shelter animals in need, and they support safety net services for families facing hardship to keep pets in their loving homes. Through Flatirons Subaru’s title sponsorship of HSBV's annual fundraising events, Puttin’ On The Leash and Doggie Dash, they help us generate critical funds to serve as many animals as possible. In October we celebrated Adopt a Shelter Dog Month by hosting another successful Subaru Loves Pets adoption event. Flatirons Subaru stepped up to generously sponsor discounted adoption fees for harder to adopt pets, with the goal of finding these animals loving homes more quickly. Over the course of the weekend, 43 special animals found new homes. One animal in particular – eight year old Estrella – found her new beginning after a long journey. When this senior German Shepherd arrived at HSBV, she was overwhelmed with worry from all the changes she was experiencing. As our team worked to earn her trust with treats, gentle pets, and giving her as much choice as possible, her sweet self began to shine through. Within the first couple of days, our veterinarians discovered she was suffering from several painful medical conditions that needed immediate treatment. Our team got to work providing much needed dental extractions, medications for a bad ear infection, a spay surgery, along with a microchip and a much needed bath. Finally feeling better, Estrella’s personality truly blossomed. Soon, a wonderful family adopted Estrella after seeing her during the Subaru Loves Pets Adoption Event to let her live her golden years free of pain and full of life in her golden years. Thank you, Flatirons Subaru, for showing up for pets and people in our community when they need it most.

Thanks to the generosity of Flatirons Subaru, we were able to celebrate the love of dogs (and all animals!) throughout the entire month. Thank you, Flatirons Subaru, for helping animals find their new, loving homes!
For the second consecutive year, our signature fundraising event, our EMERGE 5K has been disrupted by Covid-19. Flatirons Subaru has again teamed up with Rise Against Suicide to help give youth hope throughout the greater Boulder County area. They not only were the principal sponsor of our virtual 5K, they opened the dealership early on a Sunday morning to broadcast a video of our opening ceremony! Their dedication to preventing youth suicide is heartfelt and they continue to be a fantastic community partner. We are grateful for their partnership in raising awareness and funds to provide therapy to at-risk youth.
Flatirons Subaru provided the main sponsorship for Moving to End Sexual Assault’s (MESA) Spring fundraiser, the Canine Classic. The Canine Classic is a 5K run or walk where participants are encouraged to complete the 5k alongside their dogs. MESA is the sexual violence resource center serving Boulder County. MESA provides support and services through a 24-hour hotline and text line, victim advocacy, group therapy, sexual violence prevention education, and custom trainings within the community. Through Flatirons Subaru’s generous support, MESA raised over $12,000 to support our services. Since the Canine Classic in April, MESA has served 340 individuals through the hotline and text line and provided over 50 survivors with ongoing advocacy support. One recent survivor stated: “I felt so much better having talked with an advocate. I know the next steps to take and know that I have support. I’m grateful this resource is here.” Thank you, Flatirons Subaru for supporting MESA’s mission and reach in the Boulder community.

In the face of a pandemic, their support never wavered, and that support was crucial in serving a record number of 720 families in 2020. The team at Flatirons Subaru are not just supporters – we consider them part of the There With Care family, working with us every step of the way to bring love and care to local families and helping them feel supported during an incredibly difficult time.

Flatirons Subaru truly has our appreciation and the heart of a Buffalo!
As part of our Subaru Love Promise and the Subaru Loves Learning program, Flatirons Subaru dropped off 200 books for the students at Sanchez Elementary School in Lafayette last week. The students were so excited! #SubaruLovePromise #SubaruLovesLearning
We are proud to be the title sponsor for the Second Wind Fund of Boulder County - Emerge 5K race on May 3rd. All money raised from Emerge 5K, SWFBC matches uninsured or underinsured children and teens who are at risk for suicide with local, licensed therapists, helping cover the cost of therapy. In March, the Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Behavioral Health reported a nearly 50% increase in calls and texts to its crisis hotline compared to 2019. The hotline staff estimated 60% of calls in April were regarding the coronavirus.- A HUGE thank you again to all of you who participated in yesterday's virtual Emerge 5K presented by Flatirons Subaru!!! The turnout we had across the country and across the world was unbelievable! We are truly touched by your support of our mission to get help for children and teens are at risk for suicide. We loved seeing all of your pictures, the costumes, the different locations, and all those Subarus! We really did come together as a community, and that's something to feel pretty proud of - especially in a time where a sense of community can be kind of difficult to attain.
Through the Subaru Love Promise, Subaru and its retailers will be donating 50,000 blankets to nearly 600 local homeless shelters across the country in recognition of National Homeless Youth Awareness Month.

Kyle was a new employee at the Flatirons dealership when we purchased our new car. While I had previously owned another Forester I wanted something that had more leg room in the back seat. That is when he promised if we could come and look they had been totally redesigned and I would be surprised. So we went and looked at several other dealerships and talked about many aspects and still not sure what we wanted. So on the next Saturday we went and dove several of the cars, a Forester, Ascent, & Outback. We both loved the way the outback handled and all the fun new features on the Outback. Kyle truly made the purchasing so easy and was always very patient with us as we asked to drive several different vehicles. Kyle took extremely good care of us and walked us back to finance and had communicated to finance ahead of time so that part was easy. We would go back to Flatirons and recommend Kyle for any of our friends.
The Project Supertraining mission is to provide athletes with sporting events as a means to exercise philanthropy. Project Supertraining offers a unique, monthly training ride for recreational and elite level athletes. This is the only fully supported training ride in the country from start to finish that’s by recommended donation of $20. Because of Flatirons Subaru’s partnership with Project Supertraining, 100% of the donations go to charity. Each month, these donations benefit a different local nonprofit organization. The ride doesn’t ask much from participants, which allows Coloradoans to come from near and far month after month. This is truly a well organized, grassroots level event that’s become a staple for the endurance community in Boulder, CO - the mecca of training grounds for the USA’s best athletes! Last year we raised about $15,000 for local charities, and, with help from Flatirons Subaru, Project Supertraining looks forward to building more events in 2020 and continue supporting nonprofits like There With Care, Second Wind Fund, and Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence, Pedaling Minds, Davis Phinney Foundation, etc…The Supertraining ride began with a small group of committed riders convening once a month, offering a $20 donation for the beneficiary nonprofit. When Flatirons Subaru began hosting the ride with its larger facilities, the ride blew up to host as many as 200 riders!Athletes enjoy complimentary coffee and handmade Belgian wafels by Vafels before the ride. A Subaru Outback provided by Flatirons Subaru as the support vehicle outfitted with 25 gallons of water and all the endurance nutrition you could ask for. The ride is challenging - up to 200 kilometers in distance depending on the season and weather - Supertraining welcomes everyone from weekend warriors to the best riders that compete in Grand Tours like the Tour de France, Vuelta a Espana and Giro d’Italia. Supertraining is not for the faint of heart. It’s a gran-fondo type of event, but with a low barrier to entry. Following the ride, Flatirons Subaru welcomes riders to stretch out and relax with a catered lunch - a true expression of community support on a Sunday afternoon when auto retailers typically close their doors.One of the benefits of this ride is that it makes an often and otherwise daunting Car Dealership a comfortable and hospitable place for the Boulder community. Flatirons Subaru has become the go-to spot for the group ride, a networking place for cycling enthusiasts in a low pressure atmosphere that doesn’t push a sales agenda. I love hearing from athletes how appreciative they are of Flatirons Subaru’s help - especially when they say “I bought my car from them BECAUSE of the Supertraining ride,” which came Lia E., a frequent participant in the Supertraining ride and Boulder resident. Many thanks to Subaru as always. Big things for 2020!!
The team at Flatirons Subaru lives by the promise to spread its love in our community; from the first day I met them, I knew they were a group of individuals that genuinely care about the well being of others. Second Wind Fund of Boulder County's mission is to decrease the incidence of suicide in at-risk youth by removing the financial and social barriers to treatment. The SWFBC Emerge 5k Fun Run is our largest fundraiser every year, and Flatirons Subaru was our presenting sponsor this year. Their donation provided 71 therapy sessions to our at-risk youth with suicidal ideation and helped saved nine kiddos' lives. Our organization would not be capable of serving youth struggling to stay alive in our county without exceptional community partners like Flatirons Subaru; we are so grateful for the kindness and support they have provided our organization.
The ongoing partnership between There With Care and Flatirons Subaru brings welcome and tangible support to families in our community living through the critical phase of their child’s medical crisis. As a 3-year recipient of Subaru’s Share the Love Event, There With Care has leveraged these funds to deliver a wide range of services – Groceries, Prepared Meals, Toiletry Kits, Activity Bags, Baby Essentials and more – to over 1,500 families with critically ill children. Our friends at Flatirons Subaru embody the true spirit of partnership, helping the families we serve in so many ways. Our collaboration allows us to deliver care to those who need it most. On behalf of There With Care and all the families we serve, thank you Flatirons Subaru!
On July 12, 2018, Flatirons Subaru partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to deliver blankets to Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers location in Boulder, Colorado. While the volunteers could not directly interact with thepatients, they did get to meet Quigley, the Rocky Mountain Cancer Centertherapy dog, who happily posed with a blanket.
Here's the story--We leased a brand new Subaru Outback in December in Boulder Fred Rudd was our salesman. Our interactions with him were always very friendly and enjoyable. We hadn't been in touch since we finalized the lease until last Friday, Feb 2, when about an hour before we were to pack up the car and head out to a long-planned ski trip, my husband went to go run a quick errand and the car was completely dead. Unsure what to do, he called me. I was working and told him to just call Fred because I couldn't remember how to connect with our roadside service. He did, and within 20 minutes Fred personally came to our house and jumped our car! How's that for service, ehh? And why had the car battery died? Not sure. We actually think it might be a bigger problem because two days prior we lost complete control of the radio/navigation/app/etc panel. Regardless, Fred provided absolutely outstanding service.
The end of May, 2017, the primary belt snapped in our Outback. I called and talked to Jason, who said the next available appointment was on the order of two weeks, but if i could bring it in and leave it the next day, he'd see if he could work it in. I did, he did, and it was fixed by 3:30pm. I've yet to have a bad experience with Flatirons service; this was special
Flatirons Subaru, in partnership with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, participated in a “Share the Love” campaign to help blood cancer patients at Rocky Mountain Cancer Center - Boulder. Team members from Subaru, LLS and RMCC - Boulder donated 80 warm, fuzzy blankets with care cards and messages of hope from the community. They also delivered 10 care kits to younger patients so the children could draw, do crafts and break away from hospital life. The program is a great way for LLS and Subaru to connect with local hospitals and help blood cancer patients. “It was a rewarding experience to be able to brighten the patients’ day and wrap them in love by providing the Subaru blankets! The cancer journey is tough, so to lift their spirits is a wonderful feeling,” LLS Sr. Campaign Director Beth Muehlethaler said.
We are honored and grateful for the generous support provided to There With Care from Flatirons Subaru and their heartfelt team. Together, they have eased the burdens for families with critically ill children during a fragile time in their lives, giving them more time with it’s needed most. They have helped in many ways including: PROGRAM SUPPORT-They have provided a car to There With Care to make deliveries of groceries and needed items to support the family during their crisis. VOLUNTEER-They have volunteered regularly at our Team Chop, where volunteers prepare foods for families that can be easily reheated after long days in the hospital. COMMUNITY OUTREACH-They have promoted our mission and partnership through on-line media, website, social media, newspaper, television ads and signage on the dealership floor. IN-KIND DONATION-They have provided a donation of a vehicle for a There With Care family to ensure they can get their young son who is critically ill to treatments. SPONSORSHIP-They have provided event title sponsorship to help underwrite the cost of the annual signature event and golf tournament, that helps raise nearly one-third of the annual revenue allowing more resources to directly help the families. DONATE FINANCIAL SUPPORT-They have included There With Care in their Share the Love campaign, helping to raise awareness about the organization and to provide support for the programs with a generous gift of $60,000.
This is our second year in supporting the Circle of Care Project. The founder, Joan Raderman, has been a Flatirons customer for many years and when it came time to choose a local charity, she was our first choice. Joan uses her Subaru to assist the elderly in attending the theatre and the arts. The $10,000 she received has gone a long ways in helping even more clients. This picture really says it all.
Every year, Flatirons Subaru gives away a used car during the, "After Prom" party at the 2 local high schools. This encourages students to stay at the prom, overnight, rather than attend parties outside of the school and risk driving tickets or underage drinking dangers. A name is pulled at the party and a student actually wins a car! It has become a huge tradition and we try to find a "fun" car that a high school student would love to drive.
Flatirons Subaru has been the major sponsor of MESA, Moving to End Sexual Assault, for the past several years. MESA's mission is to end sexual assault and the suffering it causes in our community. The largest fundraiser for Mesa is the annual Canine Classic, a 5K run/walk, dog friendly event, with all proceeds going to MESA. We look forward to this fun event every year and the community continues to make this a bigger and bigger event. Flatirons Subaru is proud to be part of this outstanding charity.
Did Flatirons Subaru go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
