Subaru Share the Love® Event Brings Hope and Joy to Children Fighting Critical Illnesses

 

PHOENIX,  Beginning today through Jan. 4, 2021, Subaru of America, Inc. will give consumers the opportunity to bring joy to children when they need it most by electing to donate to Make-A-Wish® after purchasing or leasing a new Subaru vehicle.

As part of the thirteenth Subaru Share the Love® Event, between Nov. 19, 2020 and Jan. 4, 2021, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer's choice of participating national charities, including Make-A-Wish. "This year will mark a full decade of Subaru and their customers bringing experiences of joy to children when they need it most," said Richard K. Davis, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. "Every day of waiting for a wish is one too many for a child fighting a critical illness, and we are grateful for the opportunity to again invite Subaru customers to join us this holiday season in making wishes come true." Since becoming a national charity partner beneficiary in 2011, Make-A-Wish has received a total of more than $23 million in donations through the Subaru Share the Love Event. These funds have allowed more than 2,500 children nationwide to replace fear with confidence, anxiety with hope and sadness with joy due to the powerful impact of a wish come true . "For the tenth consecutive year, Subaru is proud to continue supporting Make-A-Wish as a national charity recipient of our annual Share the Love Event," said Thomas J. Doll, president and CEO, Subaru of America. "At Subaru, we are passionate about positively impacting local communities nationwide, and the Make-A-Wish mission of granting life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses allows us to bring that passion to life." Through the 2019 Subaru Share the Love Event, Make-A-Wish received a $3.6 million donation – the largest amount Subaru and its retailers have generated for Make-A-Wish to-date. Local retailers could also select either one or two local hometown charities where customers could direct their support. In 2019, many Subaru retailers chose their local Make-A-Wish chapter, generating more than $794,000 in locally driven donations to grant wishes in their community. This year, 30 Subaru retailer locations have chosen 24 Make-A-Wish chapters as hometown charities, to which customers will be able to direct their support.
