Bert Ogden Subaru, in partnership with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and DHR Health, recently partnered on a heartwarming event for the comfort and support of local cancer patients—the “Subaru Loves Promise” Blanket Delivery. The event was held on June 22, 2023, at the DHR Health Advanced Care Center, which provides treatment and therapy to patients courageously battling cancer. 

The distribution of blankets was led by the esteemed Mrs. Janet Ogden Vackar, Vice Chairwoman of the board for The Bert Ogden Auto Group which includes Subaru and several other automotive dealerships in the Rio Grande Valley. Mrs. Vackar, Natasha Del Barrio, CEO of Bert Ogden Auto Group, and other Subaru staff, came together with the nurses and staff from DHR Health and LLS to also provide patients with bottled water and healthy snacks. The goal of the collaboration was to provide much needed comfort and support to individuals battling cancer, emphasizing the commitment of Subaru to compassionately assist those facing this challenging journey.  

“Bert Ogden Auto Group which includes Subaru is not only dedicated to providing top-quality vehicles, but also extending compassion, and comfort to those bravely battling cancer,” said Geoff Mauldin, General Manager for Bert Ogden Subaru.  “The “Subaru Loves to Care Blanket Delivery” reflects the company’s commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals affected by cancer, ensuring they receive the care and support they deserve.”
