We have spent countless hours on fund raising for the event such as candy sales, tag sales, bottle returns, among many other things. We support the relay for life because they provide a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and support of cancer research. They also provide a great level of support for those who have cancer and the family members of those who are fighting against cancer.


 

Bennington Little League

We here at Bennington Subaru strongly support the goals of the little league organization and strongly support the message that they bestow upon the individuals who participate. The little league is more than just a baseball league it is a community and it is a tradition. A tradition of fairness and sportsmanship. It provides a great opportunity for kids to grow skill and maturity. The Bennington Vt. little league organization has been providing children a place to learn the sport for over 50 years which is amazing. Good job everyone who is involved.   




We have just recently begun to support the local Bennington Vermont Ducks Unlimited but there cause is very close to what we support. There goals are:

Grasslands are used to protect waterfowl from predators and serve as a natural concealment for nests.

Eighty percent of forested land has been cleared and natural flooding has been reduced by 50 - 90%.

When watersheds are disturbed, contaminants wash into wetlands and disrupt the plants, fish and animals. DU utilizes buffer strips to protect stream corridors and filter contaminants out.

Promoting economic viability while being conservative of resources. An example is the planting of winter wheat, which is planted in the fall and undisturbed while ducks are nesting in fields.

Areas of land purchased by DU from private landowners. The land owner maintains actual ownership of the land, but agrees to never drain, fill, level or burn it. Since 75% of U.S. wetlands are on private property, conservation easements play a crucial role in the conservation movement.
