“Subaru Loves Learning” Initiative Brings World of Science to Students Across the Country
Subaru retailers and the American Association for the Advancement of Science look to make an impact on Science Education
CHERRY HILL, NJ, August 1, 2017, /3BL Media/ – This month, Subaru of America, Inc. will work alongside the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to once again support its “Subaru Loves Learning” initiative and provide students with award-winning science books. As part of the brand’s Love Promise Community Commitment dedicated to supporting causes and passions Subaru and its customers care about most, Subaru and 477 participating retailers will donate more than 76,000 award-winning science books to help engage, prepare and inspire K-12 students across the country.
Throughout August, Subaru retail visitors will be given the chance to donate a science book in their name with an inspirational message to young readers and will receive a free after-school science booklet that offers kids the opportunity to learn fun science concepts by conducting their very own science experiments, and designed for non-scientist adults to supervise.
According to AAAS, 80% of the fastest-growing jobs in the U.S. are in the fields of science, and only 36% of high school students are ready for college level science.
For this year’s Subaru Loves Learning initiative, Subaru retailers will once again be matched with local schools and donate award-winning books to help bridge the gap and further promote science education.
“At Subaru, we support every student’s right to education and support organizations dedicated to making learning as accessible as possible,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and COO of Subaru of America, Inc. “We are proud to work with the American Association for the Advancement of Science to engage the next generation in the wonderful world of science and inspire curious minds to explore and prepare for the many opportunities a passion for science can lead.”
