Subaru ‘shares the love’ with Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati
Literacy Network thanks Busam Subaru for selecting them as their hometown charity for the 2018 Subaru “Share the Love” campaign.
The Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati (LNGC) participated in Subaru’s “Share the Love” event from November 15, 2018 to January 3, 2019. Subaru’s “Share the Love” event has raised more than $140 million for charities across the nation since its inception 11 years ago.
Four national charities, the ASPCA, Make-A-Wish, Meals on Wheels, and the National Park Foundation, participate each year. In addition, each Subaru dealer picks one local charity to support during the campaign.
Busam Subaru in Fairfield selected the Literacy Network as their hometown charity in 2017 and 2018.
The Subaru “Share the Love” event allows new car buyers to choose a charity to donate $250 from their new car purchase. Additionally, Busam Subaru contributed $7,100 in support of the Literacy Network. During this short time, the “Share the Love” program raised $32,298 to support Literacy Network programs, bringing the two-year total to over $50,000.
John Busam, owner of Busam Subaru and Busam Nissan in Cincinnati, has been on the Literacy Network Board of Directors and a member of the finance committee since 2011.
“We are elated by this incredibly generous donation from Subaru and deeply grateful to John for selecting us as a beneficiary” stated Michelle Otten Guenther, President of the Literacy Network. “Subaru’s commitment to positively impacting local communities is unparalleled. Their genuine desire to help our neighbors is a hallmark of their corporate culture. We are grateful for their financial support and the ability to share our mission with their customers.”
