Major Goals of the Event
This year's Subaru Share the Love Event aims to surpass a remarkable cumulative $320 million in donations to local and national charities.

Donations have reached the lives of countless individuals and animals in need, and the positive impacts of these contributions resonate deeply in communities throughout the country. The event not only signifies Subaru's dedication to making a difference but also invites customers and partners to join the mission.
How It Works
From November 21 through January 2, Subaru will donate $250 for every new vehicle purchased or leased to charities chosen by customers.

This framework amplifies local impact while supporting wider charitable goals.
