Event Supports Dealerships Giving to Charities in Their Communities

Raynham, USA, 12/16/2013 / SubmitMyPR /

Subaru’s Share the Love Event is now in its sixth year, and Subaru of America has announced that donations for 2013 will amount to $10 million, twice the $5 million raised during last year’s event. The first five years resulted in charitable giving of $25 million, and Subaru reports that this year’s event will bring all-time Share the Love giving to $35 million. Subaru’s sales growth in recent years has resulted in larger totals for the annual event.

When a customer purchases or leases a new Subaru between Nov. 21, 2013, and Jan. 2, 2014, Subaru will donate $250 to the customer’s selected charity. Customers can choose from five national charities, as well as a dealership-chosen local charity. The national charities include the ASPCA, Make-A-Wish, Meals on Wheels Association of America, National Park Foundation and Teach for America. Mastria Subaru, a MA Subaru dealership, has selected the Brockton Blue Dog Shelter, an animal rescue center in Brockton, Mass.

“Blue Dog Shelter is a fantastic contributor to our community, saving, training and finding homes for pets, and our hope for our partnership is that we will help them raise their profile, as well as providing donations,” said Chris Dunn, general sales manager at Mastria Subaru. “While we look forward to participating in Share the Love every year, at Mastria Subaru, we believe in donating time and resources to our community year-round.”

Mastria Subaru’s participation in the Share the Love event includes events in conjunction with the Blue Dog Shelter, such as microchipping each Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the dealership. Microchipping is a process that inserts an identifying microchip under an animal’s skin using a syringe, enabling shelters like Blue Dog to easily identify and locate lost pets’ owners. Other events taking place at the dealership include Christmas caroling, pet obedience demos and adoption presentations.
