Moving into the final month of the year, the Subaru Share the Love event will run through January 2, 2018. Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased to the customer's choice of the following charities: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®), Make-A-Wish®, Meals on Wheels America and National Park Foundation, or a hometown charity selected by participating Subaru retailers.
