Toronto Subaru Club HyperMeeting
Raises Funds for Ronald McDonald House

They began arriving for the
9th annual Toronto Subaru
Club HyperMeeting at 11 a.m. at
Mississauga, Ont. There were

heart and soul of the brand, those
who love to drive and enjoy their
Subarus every day. There was
lots of fun for the kids, too. “For the second year in a row
we decided to make it a family friendly event so that all
generations of Subaru enthusiasts (old, new and future)
could enjoy themselves,” commented Derek Serianni,
president, Toronto Subaru Club.
The parade of nearly 400 Subaru automobiles
represented an array of models, years, and accessories.
The event was one of the largest of its kind anywhere in
the country. “The range of colors and styles was great
fun to observe,” observed the National Post’s Brian
Harper, who attended the event along with other media
representatives. “Scattered among the vendors throughout
out rally cars, some stock, but most in various stages of
tune. There were also smattering of Foresters, Legacys,

a stunning black SVX, an XT (still as odd as ever) and
even a Japanese-market, right-hand-drive R2.”
The exciting new Subaru BRZ was there, garnering
many second glances before the club participants
began to nod heads in recognition: “Of course, that’s
the new sports car…rear-wheel drive, all-new Subaru
Boxer Engine.” We also showed off the new Subaru XV
Crosstrek to Subaru owners and club members.
The day was also devoted to raising some $9,000 for
the Ronald McDonald
House. It’s our charity
of choice this year,
and we are so proud
of how dealers,
enthusiasts, and friends
are supporting with
fundraising. (See article
on Newfoundland
Targa Rally).

Many attendees were moved by Daril Holmes’
heartwarming testimony. He poignantly related
what the House has meant to his family
members, as they pulled together to support
his young son in a struggle against childhood
leukemia. In keeping with our tradition, Subaru
Canada is proud to announce that we will
match the Toronto Subaru Club’s fundraising
efforts dollar for dollar in support of this very
worthwhile cause.
