Ferguson Subaru and Subaru of America Donate Over $12,000 to Guide Dogs For the Blind

Subaru of America has helped support nearly 300 animal shelters, grant more than 600 wishes, fund over one million meal deliveries to seniors, and helped support over 70 national parks through the Subaru Share the Love Event. 

The Subaru Share the Love Event - held each year between November and January - makes it possible for new Subaru owners, Subaru of America and Subaru dealers across the country (like Ferguson Subaru) to share the love with charities in our own backyard; one meal, one wish, one pet, and one park at a time. The Subaru Share the Love Event reflects Ferguson Subaru's commitment to improving our community. 

During the Subaru Share the Love Event, Subaru donates $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 retailers have the opportunity to add a sixth local charity for customers to support. 

Ferguson Subaru chose to partner with Guide Dogs for the Blind for the 2015 Subaru Share the Love Event. Thanks to our new Subaru customers, who came from all over Oklahoma and beyond, we were able to raise $12,864 to be donated to Guide Dogs for the Blind!

Guide Dogs for the Blind empowers lives through exceptional partnerships between people, dogs and communities. Guide Dogs for the Blind envisions a world with greater inclusion, opportunity and independence, by optimizing the unique capabilities of people and dogs. Guide Dogs and K9 Buddy Dogs for visually impaired youngsters are provided at no cost to those requesting them, through support from people like you. Lone Star Guide Dog Raisers is a group of volunteers who raise puppies in their homes to become future service dogs. Right now there are 33 graduates who have a guide dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind who live in Oklahoma! 
With the help of new Subaru owners, Subaru of America has donated over $50 million since the start of the Subaru Share the Love Event seven years ago. When you take home a new Subaru during the Subaru Share the Love Event you automatically become a part of the good we're doing together.

Ferguson Subaru would love to see the success of the Subaru Share the Love Event continue!

Stay in touch with Ferguson Subaru to find out when the next Subaru Share the Love Event comes back around and together we'll help improve our community and donate to a worthy cause, one Subaru at a time!
