JMBCC Receives Donation from Spangler Subaru

On April 20, Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) and Spangler Subaru today presented a check for $7,658 to the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center (JMBCC) at Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber (CSSMCW). The JMBCC was chosen as a beneficiary in the 2016 Subaru Share the Love event.

From November 17, 2016 to January 3, 2017, customers who purchased or leased a new Subaru vehicle could select from a list of charities to receive a donation of $250 from SOA. This year, for the first time throughout the life of the program, there will be no cap on the total donation from Subaru of America to its Share the Love charitable partners. By the end of this year’s event, Subaru hopes to reach a grand total of nearly $90 million donated since the creation of Share the Love.

For 2016, SOA selected the four national charities: ASPCA, Make-A-Wish, Meals On Wheels America, and National Park Foundation. Subaru retailers could also elect to add a local charity; Spangler Subaru selected the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center as its hometown charity.
