Gillman Subaru Supports Buffalo Bayou Regatta - jana j
Gillman Subaru was proud to be part of this year's Buffalo Bayou Regatta, helping participants start their journey on the water with confidence and care. Our employees were right there at the starting line, stepping into the water to help launch kayaks and canoes, position boats safely, and assist paddlers of all ages as they entered the bayou. For many participants, getting into the water can be one of the most challenging parts of the event. This year, our team worked hard to make that experience smoother, safer, and more welcoming for everyone, especially older participants and those who needed a little extra support. One regatta participant shared how much of a difference the volunteers made, saying the water entry felt "so much safer" thanks to the team helping position the canoes so paddlers could step in more easily. They also praised the helpers for being gracious, patient, and attentive to participants of all ages. At Gillman Subaru, we believe community involvement means showing up, rolling up our sleeves, and making a real difference. We were honored to help support such a meaningful Houston tradition and proud of our employees for representing Gillman Subaru with kindness, teamwork, and care.
