BOISE, Idaho – Larry H. Miller Subaru Boise today announced its participation in the 2015 Share the Love program and selected Ride for Joy, a therapeutic riding program, and the Idaho Humane Society as their “hometown charities” to be added to the list of organizations that customers can select to receive a 2015 Subaru Share the Love donation. 

Share the Love runs from Nov. 20, 2015 to Jan. 2, 2016 and allows Subaru dealerships the opportunity to select charities operating in their community to be included in a list of organizations that new owners and lessees can select from to receive a $250 donation from Subaru of America (SOA). This year, Subaru hopes to donate up to $15 million.

“We’re proud to support both local and national organizations that are doing so much good.  Online votes from our customers and members of the public helped determine this year’s ‘hometown charities’ and we are proud to add Ride for Joy and the Idaho Humane Society to the list of four national charities,” said Ty Leuthold, general manager, Larry H. Miller Subaru Boise. 

In the last seven years of this program, SOA has donated $50 million to a variety of national and local charities through the Share the Love campaign. The eighth-annual Share the Love program will deliver donations to the following four national charities:

• ASPCA

• Make-A-Wish

• Meals on Wheels America

• National Park Foundation

In addition to the national charities that are participating, Ride for Joy and the Idaho Humane Society will be gifted a donation check with money raised from new Subaru owners and lessees at the end of the program. 

“Subaru of America, Inc. and our local retailers have always been passionate about giving back and making the world a better place – not because it’s good for business, but because it’s the right thing to do,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. “In the eighth year of the Share the Love program, we are thrilled to once again be supporting tremendous charities that our customers believe in.”
