PHOENIX, Nov. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- For the 13th consecutive year, Make-A-Wish has been selected as one of the national charity beneficiaries of the 2023 Subaru Share The Love® Event. As part of the Subaru Share The Love® Event, from Nov. 16, 2023, through Jan. 2, 2024, 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.
"For the last 13 years, Subaru has made a positive and lasting difference in the lives of wish kids and their families by making more wishes possible," said Leslie Motter, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. "The donations made through the Subaru Share the Love Event significantly impact the lives of children in all 58 Make-A-Wish chapters and the communities they call home. We're extremely thankful for Subaru's partnership, generosity, and commitment to our mission."
Subaru of America, Inc. will allow customers to bring joy back into the lives of children with critical illnesses like 9-year-old Santino. Santino has Moya Moya Disease – a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder caused by blocked arteries at the base of the brain. Subaru of Moon Township partnered with Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia surprised Santino with his life-changing wish to visit Adventure Island Waterpark in Florida during a beach bash at the Subaru showroom.
"Working with Make-A-Wish as a dedicated partner for the last 13 years has resulted in thousands of life-changing wishes being granted to children with critical illnesses," said Jeff Walters, president and COO, Subaru of America, Inc. "These efforts resonate in our hearts and communities, and we're proud to continue making a difference for Male-A-Wish families during this year's Subaru Share the Love Event."
