CHERRY HILL, N.J., January 23, 2018 /3BL Media/ – Subaru of America, Inc. announced today its continued sponsorship of the Philadelphia Flower Show for the 17th consecutive year. A “must experience” horticulture event, the annual flower show will run from March 3rd through March 11th at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, with revenues supporting the charitable efforts of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS). This year’s theme, “Wonders of Water," will celebrate the beauty and life-sustaining interplay of horticulture and water. 

“Once again, Subaru is honored to return to the Philadelphia Flower Show as premier sponsor as we encourage an appreciation of nature’s beauty across all walks of life,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. “Like the 250,000 attendees who look forward to the Flower Show each year, Subaru too cherishes this opportunity to educate nature lovers on how we can improve our local communities and preserve Earth’s wonders for years to come.”

As premier sponsor, Subaru will pay tribute to its 50th anniversary in the U.S. with an exhibit that showcases the brand’s most beloved vehicles including the all-new 3-row Ascent SUV, as well as its growing presence in the greater Philadelphia area with its upcoming headquarters in Camden, NJ. In tune with the Flower Show’s theme of water, the Subaru exhibit will connect the past with the future by incorporating a wooden tunnel bridge and river, with the brand’s first ever vehicle; the Subaru 360 and latest vehicle, the Subaru Ascent, on either side.
