Missions Beyond Borders - Melissa P
For the past four years I have had the privilege to serve the people of Dominican Republic and Haiti by working with a team to share the gospel, provide medical assistance and build homes and churches through out multiple villages there. I am grateful to Paul Moak, who has been a generous sponsor our annual golf tournament where all proceeds benefit this trip.
Thank You, Rebecca and John, for Sharing the Love!! - Caitlin F
I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with two of Paul Moak Subaru's team members, Rebecca McCarty and John Scarbrough, when they served as committee members for one of Friends of Children's Hospital's annual fundraisers, Over The Edge With Friends. Over the last five months, Rebecca and John have given so much time, thought, energy and care into planning Over The Edge 2023—and always with positive attitudes and bright smiles on their faces. They consistently went FAR above and beyond what was asked or expected of them, simply because that's the type people they are. As a small nonprofit, we rely on donors and volunteers to support our fundraising efforts throughout the year, and are very fortunate to have a number of very generous donors—including Paul Moak Subaru—that contributes annually to our mission. The volunteer manpower is equally as critical though, and oftentimes harder to come by. The support provided by Rebecca and John as representatives of Paul Moak Subaru was truly invaluable. As a result of their months of work, along with the work of a small number of other valued volunteers, nearly $130,000 was raised for Mississippi's sick and injured children. Volunteers don't often receive the appreciation or recognition they deserve and I felt compelled to share just how much of an impact Rebecca and John have had on Friends of Children's Hospital through their support of Over The Edge, and as a result, on Mississippi as a whole. Thank you so much, Paul Moak Subaru, for encouraging your team members to share the love with their community. We are TRULY so grateful!!!!

CARA's 14th Annual Dog Days of Summer took place on April 29, 2023.

Giving Back to the Youth of the Jackson Metro - Peyton B
Founded in 2007, the Phoenix Club of Jackson (“PCOJ”) has gained recognition and support from the community by raising over one million dollars for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Mississippi (“BGCCM”). PCOJ is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on raising monetary funds and community awareness for the BGCCM. PCOJ is a body of diverse, young professionals whose goal is to enable Jackson’s youth to prosper. Our donations to the BGCCM are not possible without the commitment of many corporate and individual sponsors, like Paul Moak Subaru. With these funds, we are able to provide our regular general fund donation to the BGCCM which provides for the day-to-day financial needs such as bills, salaries, food, etc. Also, the funds are invested in the PCOJ Endowment Fund and PCOJ Non-Endowed Directed Fund. These accounts were created to ensure stability in the annual general fund donations and allow PCOJ to assist the BGCCM with large-scale special projects and day-to-day needs upon request. All of these monetary funds allow BGCCM to continue to invest in our community's youth. We are excited and thankful to have Paul Moak Subaru as a partner in supporting this worthy organization.

Lighting Up Learning - Dawn J
When I first saw a light table in a classroom, I knew I wanted one. As a teacher, I desire to reach all of my students in a variety of ways to help them learn and grow. Placing items on a light table brings a new level of engagement and learning. The funds provided by Paul Moak Subaru through Adopt a Classroom enabled me to purchase a light table to enhance the learning in my classroom. My kids absolutely love using it and seeing how the light shines through different shapes and how they can build letters numbers, shapes and structures. We've also explored how to mix colors using the light table. The possibilities are endless and we can't wait to explore them all! Thank you Paul Moak Subaru!
