Be the good. See the good. Feel the good.
There are so many good things to celebrate in our daily lives. At CARR Subaru we want to highlight the good, and more importantly, the good people in our lives. Good CARRMA is our commitment to the community and part of Subaru’s Love Promise initiative.
Each month we will celebrate the top Good CARRMA recipient. This is someone who embodies the true meaning of what being a good human is all about. We’re recognizing and rewarding selfless acts that are often overlooked or unseen. Do you know someone who did a random act of kindness or who regularly helps others? Nominate your favorite person who makes a difference in the world around us so we can honor our everyday heroes. Once a month one wonderful person will be recognized by CARR Subaru with the Good CARRMA award, simply for being a good human. To qualify, all nominees must be local and able to meet at CARR Subaru in person.
MAY GOOD CARRMA WINNER,
Kevin H.
Kevin is hands down the most selfless person I know” is a common refrain amongst people who know him. Not only does he work full time, but he also volunteers his time coaching youth sports in the local community and has for the past 20 years. Many former athletes approach Kevin, telling him he was their favorite coach, or recounting an inspirational story he had shared with them. Kevin has truly made a difference in the world through coaching and inspiring young student athletes. Additionally, Kevin has also coordinated housing for his employees as well as finding reliable vehicles for them to purchase for either $1 or a very, very low cost. Recently, Kevin found a reliable vehicle for a former employee who was battling cancer. This woman needed a dependable vehicle to get her to and from her chemo appointments, and Kevin was able to secure one for her at no cost. Kevin also footed the bill for a vehicle for one of his employees, who is a US Army Veteran. Kevin told him “Not to worry about the cost of the vehicle,” and he could pay him when he could. Kevin is always performing random acts of kindness like this, most are never acknowledged, nor would he ask for them to be acknowledged. Countless times, Kevin has covered the tab for a meal of someone sitting at the same restaurant as him. Whether they were an elderly couple or someone wearing a Veteran's hat, he asks to pay for their tab and then scoots out of the restaurant, so they are unaware it was him. Kevin is so deserving of this award and the fact that he would not want to be acknowledged is even more proof that he’s spreading truly Good Carrma.
APRIL GOOD CARRMA WINNER, Shelby T.
Shelby has been an animal lover since she was a child, Shelby has taken her love for animals one step further by starting a non-profit for kittens and cats called Shelby's Kitten Safe House. It began when someone advertised some kittens on Craig's List who were missing the tibias in their back legs. They could only drag their back legs. She bought them so she could help them. She raised over $50,000 and worked with a vet from OSU to build tibias for them, and with surgeries and physical therapy, the cats got new back legs and were able to walk on all fours. Shelby spends many hours caring for the most vulnerable kitties and raising money to make them healthy before getting them adopted to forever homes. Over the years, she has saved countless kitties and vets contact her when they have a cat they can't save because they don't have the funds. Her compassion, energy, and non-stop love for these cats is truly admirable.
