PAL and AutoNation Subaru Hilton Head provided door prizes, t-shirt, food and champagne. There were about 100 visitors that visited during this event and the adoption fee was waived. Lots of love was given to the many rooms of cats. I'm not sure who had more fun, the cats or the people giving the love. Many attendies also signed up to become foster partents and volunteers.

Batter Up - William H
AutoNation Subaru was thrilled to be able to support and sponsor a Softball Team with Sun City Hilton Head, a retirement community about 1 mile from our dealership. Everyone that played and the fans that watched were happy to have AutoNation Subaru as a Sponsor. Many employees went to watch and cheer on the AutoNation Team over the season. We made it to the playoffs and ended up falling short of the title. We will return next season.
