Kendall Auto Alaska & IMA Help Keep Alaska Kids Safe

Kendall Auto Alaska is proud to team up with IMA in support of Safe Kids Alaska, helping make bike safety resources and properly fitted helmets more accessible to children and families throughout the Anchorage community.

Through this partnership, 911 bike helmets have been made available to the community this year. Helmets were distributed through local schools, community events, and all 13 Anchorage Fire Department stations, where families can access helmets throughout the summer as supplies are restocked.

Safe Kids Alaska also supported nine Anchorage School District schools during their “Bike to School Day” events, providing helmets and helmet-fitting assistance to help students ride safely and confidently.

Beyond the schools, Safe Kids Alaska provided helmet-fitting and distribution services at several community events and organizations, including the Anchorage Parks and Recreation Bike Rodeo, AWAIC shelter, ASD’s 21st Century Summer Learning Academy, and Catholic Social Services Refugee Assistance and Immigration Services Wellness Fair.

We’re grateful for the organizations, schools, firefighters, volunteers, and community partners who helped make this effort possible. Together, Kendall Auto Alaska, IMA, and Safe Kids Alaska are helping protect young riders and encouraging safe, active fun across our community.

By the Numbers

• 911 helmets made available to the community

At Kendall, supporting our community means helping create a safer Alaska for everyone—especially our kids.

Three races. Countless fast runs. One final showdown.

Kendall Toyota of Anchorage was stoked to be back at Hilltop for Race 3, the grand finale of the King & Queen of the Hill downhill race series!

With the crowns on the line, riders gave it everything they had for one last charge down the mountain. After three races of speed, determination, and fierce competition, the final points are in and the 2026 King and Queen of the Hill have officially been crowned!

Congratulations to our new King and Queen, all of our Race 3 winners, and every rider who took on the mountain throughout this year’s series. You made each race one to remember!

A huge thank you to Hilltop, the volunteers, families, spectators, and everyone who helped make this three-race series such an incredible summer event. Kendall Auto Alaska is proud to support Alaska’s biking community and be part of the action.

That’s a wrap on the 2026 King & Queen of the Hill! Until next year, keep riding, keep pushing, and we’ll see you back on the mountain!

As another Levitt AMP Soldotna Music Series comes to a close, Kendall Auto of the Kenai Peninsula is proud to celebrate an incredible season of live music, community connection, and summer fun at Soldotna Creek Park!

The Levitt AMP Music Series has become a true summertime tradition on the Kenai Peninsula. With an average of 1,700 people attending each week, the park comes alive with local residents and visitors gathering to enjoy free live music, spend time with family and friends, and experience everything that makes our community such a special place.

Over the past seven years, the series has continued to grow and has become a centerpiece of summer in Soldotna. Each season brings new programming, talented performers, and even more opportunities for our community to come together.

A huge thank you to the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce and everyone who works behind the scenes to make this series possible year after year. From expanding the event and bringing in new programming to booking high-quality performers, their hard work keeps these concerts free, welcoming, and accessible to everyone.

At Kendall, supporting the communities where we live and work is at the heart of who we are. We’re grateful to have been part of another fantastic season and to help support an event that brings thousands of people together right here on the Kenai Peninsula.

Thank you to everyone who came out, danced, sang along, and made this summer one to remember. We’ll see you next summer!

What a way to kick off the school year!

Our Kendall Auto Fairbanks team had such a great time partnering with the USO at Fort Wainwright and FSS at Eielson Air Force Base for Operation Backpack.

The turnout absolutely blew us away! At Fort Wainwright, more than 400 people came through in the first hour alone. We handed out 300 backpacks and countless school supplies to kids from preschool through 12th grade. Seeing families come through, kids picking out their backpacks, and all the excitement for a new school year made for a pretty special day.

Then we headed to Eielson Air Force Base, where 150 families joined us and 250 backpacks were donated!

There’s just something about seeing a kid walk away with a brand-new backpack filled with supplies that makes you smile.

We’re incredibly grateful that we get to be part of days like these and spend time with the military families who are such an important part of our Fairbanks community. A huge thank you to the USO, FSS, our volunteers, and everyone who helped bring it all together.

Here’s to new backpacks, sharpened pencils, fresh notebooks, and a great year ahead!

Kendall Auto Alaska was excited to sponsor the YMCA Summer Camp Kendall Cars challenge!

To finish out camp, teams put their creativity and imaginations to work designing and building their very own dream cars before putting them to the ultimate test—a final race-day showdown!

And wow, did these campers deliver!  From creative designs to some seriously impressive concept cars, every team brought something special to the starting line.

Then it was time to put the pedal to the metal—or feet to the grass! Campers raced toward the finish line to see whose Kendall Car would take the checkered flag. There was only one big wipeout along the way, but we have to admit—they looked pretty fast doing it!

A huge thank you to the YMCA for everything they do to support, inspire, and create memorable experiences for kids in our community. We’re proud to partner with organizations that make such a positive impact.

Great job to all the teams who built these fantastic cars, and congratulations to our winners!

We can’t wait to see what these future designers, builders, and racers dream up next!

What Happens When the Arctic Lightning Airshow Meets the Kendall Costume Crew?

Shenanigans… that’s what!

Picture this: tricycles racing, costumes everywhere, temporary tattoos, goofy photo booth moments, and enough laughs to rival the roar of the jets overhead. The Arctic Lightning Airshow got a little more colorful when Kendall Auto Alaska showed up ready to celebrate!

All jokes aside, we had an incredible time spending the day with our military families and the Eielson Air Force Base community. It was an honor to sponsor the Pit Stop Shade Tent, giving attendees a place to cool off, recharge, and jump right back into the action.

A huge thank you to our friends at the USO for joining the fun and helping create smiles with their temporary tattoo booth. From kids proudly showing off their fresh ink to adults embracing their inner child, the booth was a crowd favorite!

And a BIG thank you to Pepsi for generously donating Gatorade to our Pit Stop Shade Tent! We truly appreciated the opportunity to hand out cold beverages to the hardworking volunteers, participants, and spectators throughout the event. A little hydration goes a long way when you’re spending the day under the Alaska summer sun!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to laugh, play, and celebrate with us. Supporting our military community is something we’re incredibly proud to do, and events like these remind us that sometimes the best way to say “thank you” is with a little harmless chaos, a lot of smiles, and unforgettable memories.

At Kendall Subaru of Fairbanks, caring for our communities means standing beside our neighbors when they need it most. We are honored to donate  to Bread Line, a Fairbanks nonprofit that has been dedicated to feeding people and affirming lives since 1984.

Thank you, Bread Line, for the life-changing work you do every day. We are grateful for the opportunity to support your mission and help make a meaningful difference in the Fairbanks community.

Kendall Auto of the Kenai Peninsula had an incredible time celebrating Progress Days with our community! From waving at everyone in the parade, checking out some amazing rides at the car show, and wrapping up the day at the rodeo, it was one unforgettable day.

But the biggest surprise? A last-minute power outage tried to steal the show…

Good thing our Ford F-150 Lightning was ready to live up to its name! It stepped in to power the parade microphone, keeping the announcements going and proving that sometimes the best hero wears a blue oval.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. We love being part of a community that knows how to roll with the punches, have fun, and make great memories together. Until next year, Progress Days!

The mountain got faster, the competition got fiercer, and the finish line came even quicker!

Kendall Toyota of Anchorage was thrilled to cheer on riders as they tackled Race 2 of Hilltop’s King & Queen of the Hill downhill race series. From start gate to finish line, competitors left it all on the course, battling for valuable points and a chance to claim this year’s royal titles.

With just one race remaining, the pressure is on! Every second counts as riders prepare for the final showdown that will determine who earns the crowns of King and Queen of the Hill.

Congratulations to all of our Race 2 winners! We can’t wait to see everyone back on the mountain for one last ride. The finish line is in sight… and the crown is still anyone’s to win!

The race for the crown is officially underway!

Kendall Toyota of Anchorage was excited to join Hilltop Ski Area for this year’s Bike Fest and the kickoff of the King & Queen of the Hill downhill race series. The day was packed with excitement—from high-speed E-bike races and adorable Strider races to the thrilling first downhill showdown of the three-race series.

Round One champions have officially been crowned, but the competition is just heating up as riders battle for the coveted titles of King and Queen of the Hill. Participants who committed to all three races also scored this year’s exclusive Party Shirt, making the season even more memorable.

Congratulations to all of our Round One winners! We can’t wait to see everyone back on the mountain for Race 2. Let the race for the crown continue!
