The sales growth experienced by the brand especially this year means that by continuing to donate $250 per vehicle sold during the program, total charitable contributions will likewise increase, this year to $15 million. “We are thrilled to continue the Share the Love program. It is part of our culture as an organization to support causes important to our customers,” said Alan Bethke, vice president of marketing, Subaru of America, Inc. “By the end of this year, Subaru will have donated $50 million to worthy causes.”
608 More charities will benefit
Subaru says that in addition to the four national organizations that benefit in a big way, Subaru dealers can choose to add a local charity for their customers to support. This year alone, 608 “hometown charities” have been selected by Subaru dealers. With Subaru retailers also making their own donations to local charities, total donations will be well in excess of the $15 million committed by Subaru of America.
