Dedicated To Our Communities

At Bud Clary Auto Group, giving back to the communities we serve in Longview, Auburn, Moses Lake, Yakima and Washougal is an integral part of our culture. As a family-owned and trusted auto group for over 70 years, we recognize the importance of being involved and supportive.

"Bud Clary strongly believes in supporting the community that supports us. We show our appreciation by partnering with schools, charities, and local organizations to give back as much as we can."

Local Organizations & Charities We Support

P.A.C.E. Program

At Bud Clary Toyota of Yakima, we proudly supported the P.A.C.E. Program (Perfect Attendance Creates Excellence) from 2012 to 2019. This initiative celebrated K-5 students with perfect attendance through a year-end BBQ, where they were rewarded with a bike, helmet, and certificate.

The P.A.C.E. Program strengthened our connection to the Yakima community and highlighted the importance of education, leaving a lasting legacy of support for local youth.

Camas Athletic Booster Club

At Westlie Ford, we are committed to empowering local students through our partnerships with schools like Camas High School. By donating funds for every touchdown scored by the varsity football team and every 3-pointer made by the varsity basketball teams, we help provide vital resources for students. We’re also proud participants in the annual golf tournament hosted by the Camas Boosters.

Learn more about how Westlie Ford contributes to the community on our Community Involvement page.

Subaru Loves Pets

At Bud Clary Subaru, we proudly support the Subaru Loves Pets initiative, helping shelter animals find homes. In 2023, we partnered with the Humane Society of Cowlitz County to host an adoption event focused on finding homes for “Underdogs”—special needs pets often overlooked.

This event continues our commitment to Subaru’s Love Promise and making a difference for animals in our community.
