Subaru Raises $2.5M for Children Battling Critical Illnesses during 2025 Subaru Share the Love® Event

PHOENIX, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For the 15th consecutive year, Subaru of America selected Make-A-Wish as one of the four national charity beneficiaries of the 2025 Subaru Share the Love® Event. Last year's event raised more than $2.5 million for the organization, for a total of more than $40 million since the partnership started, underscoring Subaru's ongoing commitment to bringing hope and joy to children when they need it most. 

As part of the Subaru Share the Love Event, Subaru and its retailers donated a minimum of $300 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased. In addition to supporting the four national charity beneficiaries, Subaru retailers were able to select hometown charities in their communities for donation consideration. Across the country, Subaru retailers again chose to support Make-A-Wish chapters as their hometown charities, enabling customers to direct contributions toward helping fulfill wishes for children within their local communities.

"A wish delivers joy that can become a powerful turning point for a child facing a critical illness," said Leslie Motter, president and CEO of Make‑A‑Wish America. "Through the Subaru Share the Love Event, the $2.5 million raised reflects a powerful community of WishMakers coming together to deliver hope, strength, and renewed possibility to children and families when they need it most."

This initiative underscores the strength of the collaboration between Subaru, its retailers, and Make-A-Wish, as well as their shared focus on delivering measurable community benefit. Through coordinated national efforts and localized retailer participation, the Subaru Share the Love Event continues to support Make-A-Wish's mission while engaging customers in giving back to causes that matter in their communities.
