Evanston Subaru Gives Checks For Share the Love

During the past holiday season, Evanston Subaru in Skokie picked two local charities as beneficiaries of their annual sales promotion called, "Subaru's Share the Love Sales Event". Recently, those charities reaped their rewards and received over $43,500 in donations.

Evanston Subaru in Skokie chose the local charities of Project Hero and the Community Animal Rescue Effort (CARE). Each charity was eligible to receive a $250 donation, for every new Subaru sold, during the year-end event that ran between Thanksgiving 2017 and January 2, 2018. Customers who purchased a Subaru during the campaign were asked to choose between the two local charities and four national charities; Make a Wish, Meals on Wheels, National Park Foundation, and ASPCA.

Project Hero is an organization that helps injured heroes overcome obstacles through cycling. Project Hero Chicago is the local extension of the national organization which provides training and rehabilitation to injured Veterans and First Responders.

The other local charity, Community Rescue Effort (CARE) began in 1987 to promote pet adoption and today is a thriving group of volunteers that places dogs and cats into foster homes in the communities of Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glenview, Northbrook, Northfield and parts of Chicago.

Rob Paddor, owner of Evanston Subaru in Skokie said he was honored that his customers supported these handpicked hometown charities. He added, "it’s wonderful whenever we can help these local organizations. They both add great value to our community."

Project Hero will receive a $13,300 check from Subaru of America and another $13,300 matching-check from Rob Paddor’s Evanston Subaru. CARE will be presented with a check for $16,900.
