Local car dealership brings blankets, care kits to Akron Children’s cancer patients
The team at Boardman Subaru and vice president John Stanko are on an ongoing mission to support local patients diagnosed with blood cancer at Akron Children’s Hospital Beeghly Campus.
Every three minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukemia, lymphoma or myelomas, according to statistics.
“We understand how difficult cancer treatment can be, and hope that these donations can help ease the challenges and provide comfort for these wonderful members of our community and their families,” Stanko said.
Boardman Subaru dropped off 80 blankets, 30 patient care kits and handwritten notes with the help of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Through June 30, Subaru of America will match any donations made to LLS online up to $100,000 in total.
By the end of 2025, Subaru of America and its network of more than 640 retailers will have supported nearly 500,000 cancer patients in communities such as the Mahoning Valley.
Boardman Subaru also donated $5,000 to the LLS Urgent Need, Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Fund.
The program provides critical financial assistance to families of pediatric blood cancer patients, covering non-medical expenses such as transportation, childcare, food, and housing.
