Subaru of America, Inc. today announced the annual Subaru Share the Love® Event will return in 2023 for its 16th consecutive year. By the end of this year’s event, Subaru and its participating retailers aim to reach a cumulative total of more than $285 million in donations to returning national charity partners including The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®), Make-A-Wish®, Meals on Wheels America, and the National Park Foundation, as well as over 800 local hometown charities.
“Each year, our Subaru community comes together for the Subaru Share the Love Event, collectively supporting causes that make an incredible impact on both a national and local scale. This event is at the heart of what makes us More Than a Car Company,” said Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer, Subaru of America, Inc. “Our customers inspire us, and we are excited to offer them another chance to give back to the causes that are closest to their hearts heading into this holiday season.”
For every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased at any of the more than 630 Subaru retailers from November 16, 2023, through January 2, 2024, Subaru will donate $250 to the purchaser’s choice of charities.* Retailers can also add up to two hometown charities in their local communities to receive an additional $50 or more for each vehicle sold or leased. Additionally, many participating Subaru retailers will donate $5 to their registered hometown charities for every Subaru vehicle routine service visit during the campaign period.
Since the launch of the Subaru Share the Love Event in 2008, Subaru of America, Inc. and its participating retailers have donated more than $256 million and supported over 2,100 hometown charities to help those in need.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®)
Subaru is the largest corporate donor to the ASPCA. A leading voice for animals for over 150 years, the ASPCA provides lifesaving protection and care to animals in need. Whether it’s rescuing animals from abuse and neglect, advocating for humane laws and policies, or supporting animal shelters across the country, the ASPCA helps animals live better lives. Through our partnership with the ASPCA during the Share the Love Event, Subaru has had a significant impact on the rescue, transport, well-being, and adoption of more than 116,000 animals across the country.
Make-A-Wish®
Subaru is the largest automotive donor to Make-A-Wish. Research shows that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. 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 and our retailers have helped to grant the life-changing wishes of more than 3,300 kids with critical illnesses.
Meals on Wheels America
Subaru is the largest automotive donor to Meals on Wheels America. Meals on Wheels America provides leadership to local, community-based programs dedicated to fighting hunger and isolation among our nation’s homebound seniors. Through our partnership with Meals on Wheels during the Share the Love Event, Subaru and our retailers have helped deliver more than 4.3 million meals and friendly visits to America’s seniors.
National Park Foundation
Subaru is the largest corporate donor to the National Park Foundation. In partnership with the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation works to protect wildlife and park lands, preserve history and culture, educate and engage youth, and connect people everywhere to the wonder of parks. Through our partnership with the National Park Foundation during the Share the Love Event, Subaru is helping provide critical funding to programs and projects that help protect America’s more than 400 national parks.
