CAMDEN, NJ, October 10, 2018 – Subaru of America, Inc. today announced the return of its annual Share the Love event in 2018. Eleven years running, this year's Share the Love event marks the third consecutive year there will be no cap placed on the total donation from Subaru of America to its Share the Love charitable partners. At the culmination of this year, Subaru hopes to exceed a grand total of $140 million donated since Share the Love event started in 2007.
From November 15, 2018 to January 2, 2019, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased at more than 628 participating Subaru retailers nationwide to the customer's choice of the following national charities: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®), Make-A-Wish®, Meals on Wheels America® and National Park Foundation. Once again, Subaru retailers will also have the opportunity to add a local hometown charity for their customers to support.
"At Subaru, we and our retailers are passionate about using this platform to positively impact our local communities and the causes our owners care most about, simply because it is the right thing to do," said Alan Bethke, senior vice president of marketing, Subaru of America Inc. "We look forward to making the 2018 Share the Love event an even greater success by supporting our national and local charity partners for the eleventh consecutive year and donating a grand total of $140 million by the end of this year's event."
In addition to the four national charity partners, Subaru retailers across the country have selected 681 local charitable organizations to support during this year's Share the Love event. With some retailers adding their own donations to the hometown charities, total donations by Subaru and its participating retailers are expected to exceed previous years.
