Subaru of Wakefield Donates Nearly $60,000 to Make-A-Wish

Make-A-Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island has once again partnered with Subaru of Wakefield as part of the Subaru Share the Love Event to help grant life-changing wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses in Massachusetts.

Running Nov. 15, 2018 to Jan. 2, 2019, Subaru donated $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer’s choice of one of four participating national charities, including Make-A-Wish. Over the last 11 years, the Subaru of America Share the Love Event has donated more than $145.7 million to local and national charities.

In addition, local retailer Subaru of Wakefield chose Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island as their “Hometown Charity of Choice,” raising nearly $60,000 this year alone for the organization and $100,000 over the past two years.

“Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island and our wish families are sincerely grateful for the support of Subaru of Wakefield,” said Charlotte Beattie, CEO of Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island. “In our second year as Subaru of Wakefield’s Hometown Charity of Choice, they raised enough to grant six transformational wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses!”

“Subaru of Wakefield is proud to partner with Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island as a recipient of our annual Share the Love Event,” said Sal Barbagallo, Managing Partner at Subaru of Wakefield. “At Subaru of Wakefield, we strive every day to positively impact our local communities and we whole-heartedly support the Make-A-Wish mission to, together, bring life-changing wishes to those who need it most.”
