Twelve Years Running: Subaru Share the Love® Event Puts New Owners in the Driver’s Seat

Camden, NJ, October 10, 2019 /3BL Media/ – Subaru of America, Inc. announced the return of its annual Subaru Share the Love Event in 2019. The twelfth iteration of the event will mark the fourth consecutive year there will be no cap placed on the total donation from Subaru of America to its Share the Love Event charitable partners. The event puts new owners in the driver’s seat when it comes to selecting which charity or charities are to receive a donation from Subaru on their behalf. Having donated more than $145.7 million to national and hometown charities over the last eleven years, Subaru of America and its participating retailers hope to exceed a total of $170 million in donations since the Subaru Share the Love Event launched in 2008.

From November 14, 2019 through January 2, 2020, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased at more than 632 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. Subaru retailers also will have the opportunity to add a local hometown charity for their customers to support.

“We at Subaru are humbled to support our national charity partners for the twelfth year in a row,” said Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Subaru of America Inc. “The commitment to spread love by our retailers, customers and national and hometown charity partners is why the Subaru Share the Love Event has touched the lives of so many. We look forward to making the 2019 Subaru Share the Love Event an even greater success by donating a grand total of $170 million since 2008.”
