Dear Grand Subaru, On behalf of the Bensenville Park District and the participants who attended our annual Egg Hunt and Eggstravaganza on March 28, 2026, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued sponsorship of this beloved community event.

Grand Subaru Drives Opportunity for Fenton Musicians - Rick K
Thanks to the generosity of Grand Subaru in Bensenville, band students at Fenton High School performed on a new marimba during the school's 100th Annual Band & Choir Holiday Concert in December 2025. The previous marimba had served Fenton students for more than 40 years. While it had been re-tuned and re-strung numerous times, it was considered an antique and no longer met the demands of today's music. Many modern musical compositions are written for newer marimbas with an expanded range. Community members of all ages, along with alumni dating back to the 1960s, filled the auditorium for the milestone concert. The new marimba helped Fenton's percussion section perform music as it was intended to be played while showcasing incredible student talent. Beyond the concert, the new marimba will benefit students for years to come. Its expanded range gives students access to more contemporary music, while its reinforced frame makes it easier to transport for performances throughout the school and at outdoor events, such as football games. Thank you to Grand Subaru and the Bensenville Community Foundation for this $6,600 grant. Your partnership is making a big difference in our community! Band students modified the Fenton High School Fight Song to provide a custom thank you video. Enjoy!
Thank you for supporting the arts! - Paul P
Every community has a story. In Bensenville, it's a story of creativity, connection and opportunity—and thanks to the generosity of Grand Subaru, that story is reaching more people than ever. Through the generosity of Grand Subaru, the Bensenville Community Foundation awarded a $7,000 mini grant to the Bensenville Park District to support and expand its Cultural & Fine Arts Program. This investment is helping bring the arts to life for residents of all ages and abilities across Bensenville and Wood Dale. The impact is already being felt. Music students benefit from improved instrument storage to protect guitars and electric pianos, while new visual arts workshops connect the community with local artists and fresh creative experiences. On stage, young performers are shining brighter than ever with new costumes and set pieces for theatre programs and upcoming productions. Also, with the addition of a portable Marley dance floor, nearly any space can be transformed into a safe, professional-quality performance area. At its core, the Fine Arts Program is about access and inclusion—giving everyone, from beginners to experienced artists, a place to explore dance, music, theatre and visual arts. Enrollment is steadily growing, and with support from Grand Subaru, the program is positioned to continue that momentum while reaching even more families who may not otherwise have access to the arts. This is what Grand Subaru is all about—neighbors helping neighbors, and businesses investing in the communities they serve. The Bensenville Park District thanks the Bensenville Community Foundation and Grand Subaru for their support to ensure the arts remain a vibrant and welcoming part of Bensenville, because when creativity is supported, the community thrives.
Subaru Helps Rev Up Entrepreneurs at Fenton H.S. - Rick K
Fenton High School decided to upgrade its theory-based Business Orientation course into a hand-on Business Incubator course in the 2024-2025 school year. Students create and fully develop their own product or service and incorporate it into a real-world business they own. Guided by real-world entrepreneurs and local industry-leading mentors, students experience the full range of business operations, including ideation, research, marketing, accounting, human resources, as well as the legal aspects of running a business. The big incentive is competing against one another in a Pitch Night similar to the hit TV show "Shark Tank," in which each business presents their proposal to a panel of industry professionals for the chance to win real money that goes toward starting their real-life business. That prize money has to come from somewhere. Two of the Incubator students and their teacher attended a local meeting and made their pitch for a $5,000 Subaru grant to fund part of the prize money. Their presentation was spot on and Subaru made Pitch Night possible. The Fenton students took the spotlight in May 2025 and the prize was a major motivator. Thank you Grand Subaru for helping to create, nurture, and inspire our business leaders of the future.
Fenton High School Tennis Rally Backboard - Rick K
The boys and girls tennis programs at Fenton High School continue to grow and players had repeatedly asked for opportunities to continue practicing outside of normal team schedules. However, not enough players were available to come back to school at the same times, especially groups who compete in "doubles," which would require three or four students to be present for volleys to occur. Some students have jobs, while others are in multiple school activities or after school study groups. Purchasing a 24-foot Rally Master Backboard was the perfect solution. Individual students or a pair of "doubles" partners could take up their normal positions and use the backboard to have rallies. Although school budgets were tight, leaders at the school wanted these students to participate in healthy and productive activities. A team of students were encouraged to speak up for themselves and why tennis is beneficial to their health and academic standing. The partnership between the Bensenville Community Foundation and Grand Subaru offered an ear to these students and eventually approved an $8,100 grant to purchase the backboard. Now Fenton students, and members of the community, can play tennis whenever they want -- even if they don't have a partner or doubles pair to compete against. The generosity of Grand Subaru is keeping children in Bensenville involved with structured, healthy activities.
