Stanley Subaru presented the new Executive Director of the The Grand a check for $20,000—the culmination of Subaru's Share the Love Event. Members of the Stanley Subaru team joined owner Mark Politte as well as Subaru of New England District Manager Bill Bergeon to celebrate with Executive Director Nick Turner and members of The Grand board of directors.
To honor the successful installation of the Grand's new digital projector, Stanley Subaru offered the Grand honorary awards in addition to the check, small golden figures emblematic of film success.

We're really happy to partner with the Grand for Share the Love. The Grand is an important part of the fabric of our community, and with the fabric stronger, we're stronger,” said Mark Politte, owner at Stanley Subaru. “We're just trying to do our part, and we're grateful to our guests for helping us make it possible.”
A cornerstone of the Subaru mission is supporting causes that are important to it as a company, its retailers and customers. That value is rarely more visible than during the annual Subaru Share the Love Event. Throughout the Subaru Share the Love Event, Subaru donates $250 for each new Subaru vehicle sold or leased to the customer’s choice of one of four national or participating retailers’ local charities.
Stanley Subaru guests choose whether to share that money across multiple charities, or choose one charity to receive the full $250 to go to their cause. The national recipients during Share the Love are Meals on Wheels, The National Park Foundation, Make-A-Wish, and the ASPCA. As part of Stanley Subaru's commitment to arts and culture in Down East Maine, The Grand in Ellsworth is Stanley Subaru's hometown charity.
The Grand Executive director Nick Turner says, "Stanley Subaru continues to show it's commitment to the community as a business and partner with the Grand to bring arts and education to Hancock County. This wonderful, generous contribution will help us expand our live theater offerings and opportunities for performing artists of all ages in 'Grand' ways."
The Grand is a Non-Profit performing arts center on Main Street in Ellsworth, Maine. Built in 1938, it is a significant local example of Art Deco architecture, with a prominent marquee and a stepped steel-and-glass tower.
