Ferguson Subaru Sponsors 8th Annual Bark Walk & Pet Fest

One of our most favorite, yearly events is the annual Bark Walk. The Bark Walk is a fundraising event hosted by The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma. Ferguson Subaru has been a Bark Walk sponsor for over 7 years! 2017 marked the 8th Annual Bark Walk & Pet Fest, and once again Ferguson Subaru was a "Top Dog" presenting sponsor! 

Ferguson Subaru has been a long-time sponsor of the Bark Walk for many reasons. The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma uses donations raised during the event towards a cause we deeply care about - animal rescue. Funds raised from Bark Walk help support The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma by allowing the organization to save the lives of homeless animals and help promote animal welfare in our community. But, as an added bonus, we also get to meet dozens of four-legged friends and their proud owners. 

This year's Bark Walk was held in Central Park, in downtown Broken Arrow. The event included the annual 1 mile walk around the park, and the popular PetFest; which featured a KidsZone with a bounce house, face painting and more, lots of vendors, food trucks, pet adoptions and much more!





Each year we bring some of our newest Subaru models to the event. This year, Ferguson Subaru brought the new 2017 Subaru Forester, and the new 2017 Subaru Outback Touring. The 2017 Outback Touring features a dark gray grille and a new Java Brown perforated leather-trimmed upholstery with contrasting ivory stitching.Learn more about the 2017 Subaru Outback Touring here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsQb0KtlX-c

Our Pursuit Of Making Knowledge Available To As Many Minds As Possible

Ferguson Subaru is proud to call Oklahoma home. While there is plenty for Oklahoma to be proud about, it's well known that the education system in our state is hurting. According to the National Education Association, Oklahoma ranks 49th in expenditures per student [1] and 48th in average salaries for public school teachers [2]. 

On top of being paid well below the national average, Oklahoma teachers, on average, spend up to $500 of their own money, each year, on supplies for their classrooms. Needless to say, it's not always easy to be a teacher in the state of Oklahoma. 

At Ferguson Subaru we have a Love Promise commitment to making a positive impact in the world in which we live and work. It’s our aim to spread this impact as far as we can. As part of our Subaru Loves Learning initiative - to make the pursuit of knowledge available to as many minds as possible - Ferguson Subaru teamed up with Kendall Whittier Elementary for our 2016 Subaru School Supply Drive. 



Kendall-Whittier is an elementary school located in north-central Tulsa, just west of the University of Tulsa campus. The school has been providing students in the area a place to grow and learn for generations. Kendall-Whittier Elementary is a lighthouse to our community. According to the school, “As a Title I school, we don’t require that students bring school supplies at the beginning of the year to respect the limited financial situations of many of our families.” 

For the 2016 Subaru School Supply Drive, Ferguson Subaru raised school supplies during the month of August. At the end of the month, our Ferguson team, along with Fergie Bear - our Tulsa-area community mascot - drove a stuffed Subaru Crosstrek to Kendall-Whittier Elementary, and presented teachers with the donations. In the spirit of making a positive impact, Ferguson Subaru also donated $500 to Kendall Whittier Elementary!

Ferguson Subaru’s focus on education in the month of August and September was part of the Subaru Love Promise, a pledge to do right in our communities and the world.

'STUFF A SUBARU' School Supply Drive


Aside from your parents, can you think of someone who inspired you, pushed you, and prepared you for life's journey? Many of us owe a "thank you" to our teachers. Teachers leave lasting impressions on our lives and on the lives of our children. 

The work of a teacher impacts the community as a whole. As Helen Caldicott once said, “Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth.” Given the right tools, our teachers have the ability to shape not only the future of Tulsa and the surrounding communities but effectively the world. There's just one problem; not every teacher is equipped with the right tools and/or resources. 

On average, teachers spend up to $500 of their own money each year on supplies for their classrooms. This is a fact that doesn't sit well with us at Ferguson Subaru. We love learning, and we love our teachers. We want to see the Tulsa/Broken Arrow area, our community, continue to grow and flourish, and we know the role of the teacher is vital in this. So, we decided to do something about it; something to help our local teachers. 

We decided to 'Stuff A Subaru' with school supplies.


We decided to host a school supply drive, but we need your help! 
With your help, we can make sure Tulsa-area students have what they need to succeed.

 Help us provide the necessary school supplies our Tulsa area teachers need to teach! 
Help us provide the necessary school supplies our students need to learn! 

Help us 'Stuff A Subaru!' 
Needed School Supplies:
Pencils
Crayons
Dry Markers
Clorox Wipes
Hand Sanitizer
Dry Marker Erasers

Kleenex
Pens

The supplies you donate will go directly to local teachers including teachers at Kendall-Whittier Elementary, in Tulsa. Located off the edge of the University of Tulsa, Kendall-Whittier is a lighthouse to our community. Kendall-Whittier has a staff of wonderful teachers who welcome your support. Ferguson Subaru is proud to partner with Kendall-Whittier Elementary and its staff of dedicated teachers!

Ferguson Subaru More 2 Love Launch Event a Success

Community pride is a big deal in Green Country. Nowhere is community pride more on display then at a local Friday night high school football game. Simply attend a local Jenks, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Owasso, or Tulsa high school football game and the sense of community pride is palpable. Residents in our Green Country communities have built strong bonds and continually support one another. One thing we’ve seen in the thirteen years since we first opened our Subaru dealership and brought Subaru to Tulsa has been a similar sense of pride shared by our Subaru customers. There’s a new community found here in Green Country – a Subaru community.

Subaru owners love there Subaru’s. They enjoy going on adventures in their Subaru’s with friends whether to the dog park, a nearby camping site, or a local bike trail. Subaru owners enjoy hanging out with other Subaru owners. We see time and time again Subaru owners coming together, building life-long friendships, and growing this new Subaru community.

We love opening our doors for the Subaru community, and that’s exactly what we did last week. We opened the doors to our showroom for Subaru enthusiasts, Subaru owners, Subaru followers, and to the Subaru community. We welcomed anyone and everyone who wanted to get a first look at the new 2015 Subaru Legacy and 2015 Subaru Outback. No surprise, we had a great turnout and an even greater time!

It’s not hard to draw a crowd with great products like the new 2015 Subaru Outback and the new 2015 Subaru Legacy. During our Ferguson Subaru More 2 Love Launch Event we had the two models on display with our team of friendly, dedicated Subaru sales associates available for questions. Our Subaru team also provided free refreshments and treats. We had over a dozen Subaru fans come to our More 2 Love event. Attendants and our sales associates had a great time learning about the new Outback and Legacy.

The Subaru Legacy has been completely re-designed for 2015. The Legacy features the largest interior passenger volume in the midsize sedan segment and is the only car in its class with All-Wheel Drive as standard. While the 2015 Subaru Outback’s bold new design delivers an even more compelling blend of on-road agility, off-pavement control, ride comfort, interior refinement and safety technology.

Subaru Love Promise | Our Pledge to Greater Tulsa and Green Country

Nobody likes broken promises….but indubitably at some point in our lives we’ve been let down by a promise. Some people have a pessimistic view when it comes to promises, and live more by the motto that promises are meant to be broken. And, it is true that promises can be broken as quickly as they were made. That’s why it’s a special thing when an automotive company comes along and sticks to their promises.

Subaru of America says that love is what makes a Subaru, a Subaru. It’s not a love based on monetary gain, or about pushing sales numbers. And, it’s not just simply a word within a slogan. It’s a love for their customers, a love for the environment, and a love for life. It’s a promise.

That’s why Subaru created the Subaru Love Promise. It's a pledge to do right by the communities in which every Subaru employee lives and works. Every member of Subaru, from top to bottom, has signed it. The Subaru culture is spreading, and Subaru customers can feel the love. Subaru dealers across the country, including Ferguson Subaru right here in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; have pledged to uphold this promise. This is our promise to continue making a positive impact in the world and in our neighborhoods.

Subaru of America and Ferguson Subaru believe in making the world a better place. That's why Subaru of America has built fuel-efficient vehicles in eco-friendly plants. That's why, over the past 20 years, Subaru of America has donated more than 50 million dollars to a variety of causes and charities. That’s why Ferguson Subaru has worked closely with several non-profit organizations in our community. That’s why Ferguson Subaru has donated to several causes that have an impact in our community, and that’s why were extending the Subaru Love and the Ferguson Advantage to Tulsa, Owasso, Bixby, Jenks, Green Country, Oklahoma, and beyond.





Causes We Promise to Support

It’s our aim to spread the Love Promise as far as possible. That’s why we work with a diverse range of organizations. Many of them fall under one of these areas of focus.
