2024 Subaru Share The Love® Event Targets Nearly $320 Million In Total Donations

(MENAFN- 3BL) CAMDEN, N.J., November 21, 2024 /3BL/ - Subaru of America, Inc. today announced the launch of the 2024 Subaru Share the Love® Event with its newest national advertising campaign and increased donation goal of $32 million for this year's campaign. By the end of this year's event, Subaru and its retailers are aiming to reach nearly $320 million in overall donations to national and hometown charities over the past 17 consecutive years as part of the automaker's largest annual charitable initiative.

This year, Subaru and its retailers are continuing to support four national charity partners that exemplify the Subaru Love Promise®; The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®) , Make-A-Wish® , Meals on Wheels , and the National Park Foundation , as well as over 820 local hometown charities. The advertising campaign spotlights each partner organization's cause, as well as the important connection to hometown charities that are selected by Subaru retailers and benefit their local communities.

Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Subaru of America, Inc.: “It is our honor to support causes and organizations that strive to make a difference through the annual Subaru Share the Love Event. A dedication to giving back is core to what makes Subaru More Than a Car Company® and our retailers More Than a Car Dealer. Helping to match Subaru owners with a charity they believe in is one of the greatest gifts we can give this season, and we hope that it forges a connection that lasts for years to come.”

For every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased at any participating Subaru retailer from November 21, 2024, to January 2, 2025, Subaru will donate $250 to the purchaser's choice of charities.* Retailers can select up to two hometown charities in their local communities to receive at least an additional $50 total for each vehicle sold or leased to accompany the original donation. Furthermore, many participating Subaru retailers will donate $5 to their registered hometown charities for every Subaru vehicle routine service visit during the campaign period.

Throughout the campaign, two new advertising spots featuring national and hometown charity partners will run on national television, streaming, digital video, and social media platforms in :30 and :15 second format. The title campaign spot, The Hard Work of Love, celebrates heroic animal shelter workers who love and care for millions of pets in need, while Hometown Love highlights the work of Subaru retailers supporting hometown charities in their respective communities. Paid media partners include ABC, NBC, the CW, YouTube, and more. A Spanish-language translated version of The Hard Work of Love will run on Telemundo, UniMas, and Univision. The creative will also run across streaming partners in English and Spanish, including Peacock, MAX, Hulu, Amazon, Netflix and more, and the spots are available to view on the Subaru of America YouTube channel .

Since 2008, Subaru and its retailers have donated over $288 million and supported nearly 2,300 hometown charities over the years as a part of the Subaru Share the Love Event.
