For over 70 years, The Suburban Collection has been an enthusiastic supporter of local charitable organizations. We focus our giving efforts into four specific areas:

  • Children
  • Education
  • Basic Needs
  • Cancer

These four pillars are the foundation of our giving strategy. Our goal is to take an active part in enhancing the quality of life in our local communities through our charitable activities. Charitable giving is primarily reserved for nonprofit organizations serving individuals or families in Southeast Michigan, geographically located near The Suburban Collection's dealerships. We focus our support on programmatic and capital funding.

Support Focus Cancer | Breathing Out The Darkness

Cancer is a dark disease and can be difficult to discuss with children. The Southfield organization Kids Kicking Cancer helps by teaching children to breathe in the good and breathe out the darkness.

While cancer is still an on-going fight, it's part of our core DNA to fix problems and we're actively participating in this international fight, especially when it affects children. Kids Kicking Cancer aligns with many of our charitable pillars and it was an honor to give to their organization. Watch the video to see our The Suburban Collection and our elves deliver joy to these children.
