CAMDEN, N.J., October 31, 2018 /3BL Media/– Subaru of America, Inc. today announced the donation of nearly $57,000 to the Oregon Humane Society (OHS) as a part of the Subaru Loves Pets initiative to help improve the safety and wellbeing of animals in local Oregon communities. The gift marks the single largest corporate donation received by OHS in 2018 and is the result of the pets-focused initiative of the automaker’s Love Promise philanthropic platform.

Participating retailers included Carr Subaru, Dick Hannah Subaru, Gresham Subaru, Lithia Oregon City Subaru, Royal Moore Subaru, Wentworth Subaru and Wilsonville Subaru.
“Subaru and our Portland Metro retailers believe in making the world a better place, for our drivers and their furry friends, and the Subaru Love Promise brings that vision to life,” says Jason Hirata, District Sales Manager, Subaru of America, Inc., Portland Zone. “Subaru Loves Pets was our first metro-wide Love Promise event bringing the Portland retailers together to celebrate OHS in its 150th year of helping the animals. We are proud to support OHS and its many great programs with this donation.”
Subaru has been a supporter of OHS since 2004 and has partnered on a variety of programs and events including Doggie Dash and Giving Tuesday.
