Fidelco Share The Love PresentationThe results are in! This year's Subaru of America's Share the Love-Share the Vision Charity event has finally been tallied!
Suburban Subaru presented a check of $56,216.00 to our hometown charity pick,
Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation from right here in Bloomfield, CT.
On Friday April 8, 2016, we hosted quite a few important guests here in our showroom. Eliot Russman (President and CEO of Fidelco), Fidelco's personnel, Subaru of New England personnel, the advertising teams from FOX 61 & WVIT NBC-30, and more importantly, a few guide dogs all joined us for the presentation.
For those of you who are unaware of the "Share the Love" event; from Nov 19, 2015 to Jan 2, 2016, customers who purchased or leased a new Subaru could select from a list of charities to receive a donation of $250 from Subaru of America, Inc. Each dealership had the chance to choose a hometown charity pick and we selected Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation to include in the list! Subaru of America, Inc. will donate $15 million to participating charities for 2016. Over the last seven years, SOA has donated $65 million to a number of worthy causes through this event.
Did you know that every seven minutes in our country someone becomes blind or visually impaired? Blindness affects the individuals, families, and communities forever. Fidelco's remarkable German Shepherd Guide Dog partners provide blind clients with many opportunities to realize their abilities rather than be limited by their visual disability. With Fidelco Guide Dogs leading the way, blind clients travel independently instead of relying on others; have careers or attend college; and engage in their local communities as volunteers, advocates and mentors. Subaru's Share the Love campaign helps Fidelco Share the Vision®.
Here is the press coverage from the presentation,
WVIT Channel 30 NBC as well as the
Steve Parkers Morning Talk Show, on every Saturday morning, 7:00am on WTIC AM.
The check for $56,216.00 was presented to Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation by Peter Krause, Dealer Principal of Suburban Subaru.
