For more than 15 years, Premier Subaru has been involved in the community. We understand and are completely committed to ensuring that we reinvest into the communities in which we live and work.
Branford, CT, March 30, 2015 - Robert J. Alvine, President, Premier Subaru, presented Shaun Heffernan, Director, Camp Rising Sun, with a check for $33,239 this afternoon in the dealership's showroom in Branford. The donation represented the proceeds from the seventh annual "Share the Love" event, in which anyone that purchased or leased a new Subaru could make a $250 donation to one of four national charities - ASPCA, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Meals on Wheels Association of America, the National Park Foundation - or a fifth local charity for their customers to support. Premier Subaru selected Camp Rising Sun as their "hometown charity" for the 2014 campaign.
"Thanks to Bob Alvine and the entire Premier Subaru Team, we will be able to provide an awesome summer camp experience to even more kids with cancer," said Mr. Heffernan. "Being a small volunteer organization without a national sponsor, fundraising is always a challenge. Bob and his team's hard work will help put smiles on the faces of our campers this summer."
"I am honored to participate with such an organization. An organization that brings smiles to brave children and their families," remarked Mr. Alvine. "We are duly proud to have raised this money and deeply thank our customers and employees."
"Share the Love" ran from Nov. 20, 2014 to Jan. 2, 2015 and was expected to donate up to $15 million over the course of the campaign nationwide. In the last six years, Subaru of America has donated over $35 million to different charities. In 2013, Subaru of America gave dealers the option to add a local charity.
Camp Rising Sun was designed to provide a safe nurturing environment to children ages 5 through 17 who have been diagnosed with cancer. Camp Week takes place at Camp Jewell YMCA in Colebrook, CT. A number of "Senior Campers" have become "Leaders in Training" to help with the younger campers and plan activities. Camp Rising Sun has been around since 1983 and has grown to over 100 campers!
One former camper, Freddy Samoskevich, now one of the assistant directors, said, "The biggest part of Camp Rising Sun was the social aspect of it because when you're young, you're going through all kinds of things like hospitals and medication and it's really hard to make social connections, but (at camp) you can talk about catheters and chemotherapy and everyone would understand and was friends with you."
February 13, 2015 - Premier Subaru has just announced that they will return as sponsors for the 35th annual Branford Road Race. Premier Subaru will have the official pace car and will have cars on the green. This is a 5 mile race, plus there is a 2 mile walk and a 1 mile fun run. The race attracts over 3,000 runners from all over and has been touted as one of Connecticut's most prominent fitness events. The race also raises money for various charities, including the American Parkinson Disease Association, Branford Counseling Center, and the Soundview YMCA.
The event takes place Sunday, June 21, 2015. Premier Subaru is not only providing the pace car, but will also be featured on banners, race bibs, and race t-shirts. We hope to see you there! be on all of the banners around Branford, have exposure on 3,500 race bibs, have an on-site display in front of 10,000 runners and spectators, ads in The Sound newspaper, mentions in all press releases, banner near the finish line and sponsorship on the race t-shirts.

In the past five years Subaru of America has donated over $25 million to charities in its "Share the Love" campaign. For each car sold or leased Subaru donated $250 to the buyer's choice of five charities.
This year Subaru offered dealers the chance to keep the funds local by nominating a local charity to be a sixth choice for purchasers. Premier Subaru successfully added the Community Dining Room to the list and will actively support the cause.
Share the Love and keep it local by either buying a new car or donating to the "Share the Love - Feed a Neighbor" food drive or "Share the Love - Warm a Neighbor" Holiday gift clothing drive.
