UVA Health Prince William Medical Center received a generous donation from Stohlman Subaru of Sterling. Stohlman Subaru partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society ®, (LLS) as part of the national Subaru Loves to Care® initiative supporting patients and families impacted by blood cancer. This is the ninth year Stohlman has donated comfort items and messages of hope to patients undergoing cancer treatment.

Every three minutes, a new patient in the United States is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. The treatment and rehabilitation process often can be long and arduous, leaving patients feeling cold, confined, and in a weakened state. The donation of comfort items, warm blankets, and messages of encouragement is just one way Stohlman Subaru is committed to supporting the health and well-being of the community.  

"We are deeply grateful for Stohlman Subaru's ongoing commitment to our patients," says Erik Shannon, CEO, UVA Health’s community medical centers and clinics in northern Virginia and Culpeper. "They continue to have a profound impact on the well-being of our community. Their partnership with LLS exemplifies their dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by blood cancers."

This year, the donation doubled to 130 blankets and 30 patient care kits, featuring coloring activities, reusable water bottle, sleep mask, games, and more. The donation also included heartfelt messages from customers and team members.

Stohlman Subaru of Sterling is a cornerstone in the community, as a family-owned business with 80+ years of service that continues to prioritize philanthropy and community engagements throughout the year. Their collaboration with LLS and participation in the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative is just one part of their broader mission to support local families and individuals facing health challenges.

"Stohlman Subaru in partnership with LLS is honored to support UVA Health Prince William Medical Center through Subaru Loves to Care®," says Adam Portzel, Marketing Director, Stohlman Subaru. "As a longstanding member of the community, our family-owned dealership has also been impacted by cancer. Here at Stohlman, we lead with our hearts and treat neighbors like our own family. It is our privilege to contribute to the well-being of our neighbors and friends during their time of need."

Stohlman Subaru of Sterling joins more than 600 Subaru retailers nationwide in partnership with LLS, collectively demonstrating the power of community support in the fight against blood cancers. At the end of 2024, Subaru will have supported nearly 350,000 cancer patients nationwide as the largest LLS automotive donor.
