Carr Auto Group has been a part of Beaverton since 1941, when Guy Carr
rolled his first new Chevy out the door. Guy knew and we know today, that our
greatest opportunity and our greatest area of influence are one in the same. As
such, we strive to be more than a car store, we strive to be part of the
community. Our neighbors have been good to Carr over the years and we enjoy not
only celebrating Beaverton, Portland and Oregon, but giving back to those who
have welcomed us all these years. We do that by being a good neighbor, employer
(Oregon's Top 100 Places to Work for 10 out of the last 12 years), caring
for our local environment (Washington County's first auto service business to
earn a pollution-prevention award), sponsoring local athletic teams and schools,
and many things that we all do, as good neighbors. We also like to help those
less fortunate or with a hard row to hoe when we can do it in a way that makes
sense. Many times that help comes in the form of supporting non-profits and
charitable organizations that we have vetted, and have deemed to be on the up
and up, and that have a long history of putting their money where their mouth
is. Albertina Kerr, The Oregon Humane Society, Toys for Tots, Katie's Kause for
Cystic Fibrosis, The American Cancer Society, Tour de Cure, and the Nutter
Foundation's Vancouver Dozer Days, just to name a few. We also contribute to
important causes and organizations that find resources declining, in what has
been a less than optimal economic environment over the last few years. Oregon
Ballet Theater, Oregon Public Broadcasting and Freshwater Trust come to mind. We
try to have great FUN DAYS with our fellow workers (and occasionally some of the
local folks) to take part in, several times throughout the year. We support
families at Christmas, host blood drives for the Red Cross, and loan our
facilities to local police and Sheriffs departments for training. You'll find
Carr vehicles in Hood to Coast, Beaverton Celebration Parade, and again being
used by local law enforcement agencies every now and again (watch out
y'all).

At CARR, for Subaru's Share the Love Event this year, we selected as our local charity "Bill's Kids Fund with Providence Child Center." Bill Schonely, Mayor of RIP CITY and the Trailblazers, is the motivating force behind this charity, aimed to help Oregon's most vulnerable children. We at Carr Subaru have gotten behind this force of a man, and his charity, and are proud to do our part !
For years, he was the legendary voice of the Trail Blazers. Now, Bill Schonely is lending his voice in a new way to the medically fragile children at Providence Child Center. Providence has established "Bill's Kids Fund" to honor Schonely's longstanding dedication to and compassion for the medically fragile children who call the center home.
Bill's Kids Fund will help endow the Center for Medically Fragile Children at Providence Child Center, ensuring the provision of complete and compassionate care.
