Stamford, Connecticut, November 20, 2013 - Subaru Stamford has selected The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County as an additional community partner for the upcoming Subaru "Share the Love" event. During the sixth annual "Share the Love" event, Subaru of America, Inc. will donate up to $10 million to charitable partners.
From Nov. 21, 2013 to Jan. 2, 2014, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased to the customer's choice of the following charities: ASPCA®, Make-A-Wish®, Meals On Wheels Association of America®, National Park Foundation and Teach for America. In addition to the five national organizations, Subaru Stamford customers will also be able to elect The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County to receive the $250 donation.
"This was too good an opportunity to pass up," said Subaru Stamford Owner and General Manager George D'Angelo, "We've participated in the 'Share the Love' program since its inception and we always felt it would be great to give our customers the chance to direct money locally. The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County meets Subaru's rigid standards for charitable contributions, and they're Stamford-based, which makes this generous program even better."
In 2012, Subaru donated $5 million to "Share the Love" charities and over the course of the five year program Subaru has donated a total of $25 million. The sales growth experienced by Subaru of America in recent years means that by continuing to donate $250 per vehicle sold during the program, total charitable contributions will likewise increase, this year to $10 million.
"We are excited to be able to share more love with more charities - including the charities in our owners' backyards," said Subaru chief marketing officer Dean Evans. "By the end of this year, Subaru will have donated $35 million to diverse and worthy causes."
