Subaru Share the Love® Event Celebrates 15 Years of Giving Back on Behalf of Customers

CAMDEN, N.J., October 11, 2022 /3BL Media/ – Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that the 2022 Subaru Share the Love® Event will return for its 15th consecutive year, marking a milestone for the automaker with a core belief in helping those in need through charitable efforts. Subaru and its participating retailers hope to reach a cumulative total of more than $250 million in donations by the end of this year’s event to returning national charity partner beneficiaries, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®), Make-A-Wish®, Meals on Wheels America and the National Park Foundation, and more than 800 hometown charities.

“When we began the Subaru Share the Love Event 15 years ago, we did not know we were embarking on a journey that would impact so many lives across our communities, nor did we know we were changing the purpose of our brand,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO of Subaru of America, Inc. “Our goal of being More Than a Car Company is not lip service; Subaru strives to make the world a better place all year round, but especially during the holiday season through the Share the Love Event. Our customers want to give back and do more for the causes they are passionate about, and Subaru and our retailers are so happy to help them with this endeavor by donating to one of our four national charity partners or one of the hundreds of hometown charities.”

For any new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased at one of the more than 630 retailers from Thursday, November 17, 2022, through Tuesday, January 3, 2023, Subaru will donate $250 to the purchaser’s choice of charity*. Retailers can also add up to two local hometown charities to receive an additional $50 for each vehicle sold or leased. Participating Subaru retailers will donate an additional $5 to their registered hometown charity partner for every routine Subaru vehicle service visit during the campaign period.

Since 2008, Subaru and its participating retailers have donated more than $227 million and supported over 1,700 hometown charities to help those in need through the Subaru Share the Love Event.

A wish replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope. The impact of just one wish has the power to transform the lives of everyone involved and helps wish kids and their families believe in better days ahead. Through our partnership with Make-A-Wish during the Share the Love Event, Subaru has granted the life-changing wishes of more than 3,000 kids with critical illnesses.

Meals on Wheels America
