Subaru Facebook Fans Choose Make-A-Wish Foundation for Share the Love Event
September 30, 2011 by SUBARULOVERS, under Dealership News, Events, Promotions.
Subaru Facebook fans have voted, and the nonprofit charity they’ve chosen to “Share Their Love” with is the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
For the first time ever, Subaru invited Facebook fans to vote on a charitable organization for the automaker’s fourth annual Share The Love event. After three weeks of voting, Subaru Facebook fans added the Make-A-Wish Foundation to a roster of charities anticipated to receive a collective $5 million in donations from Subaru.
The Share The Love event, which donates $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased from Nov. 19 through Jan. 3, has donated nearly $15 million to charitable causes since the program’s inception three years ago. The other recipient organizations that will benefit from this year’s program include American Forests, the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), Meals On Wheels Association of America, and Special Olympics.
“At Subaru, we support causes that our owners are also passionate about. This year we took the Share The Love event a step further and asked our Facebook fans to decide which organization they’d like to add to the designated charities for this year’s event. We’re absolutely delighted to welcome the Make-A-Wish Foundation as the People’s Choice to join our existing charities,” said Brian Johnson, national advertising manager, Subaru of America, Inc.

Gates at Subiefest’s new Pomona Fairplex location open at 9am sharp on October 22! |
| Los Angeles, California (September 19, 2011)– This year is a landmark year for Subiefest as it brings Subaru centered entertainment even closer to the Los Angeles masses. “The idea of a new location and revised format came straight from the feedback we received from both attendees and sponsors,” said Robert Champion, Event Director. “The passion of Subaru owners combined with an event that supports them is what has made Subiefest the largest ongoing all-Subaru motorsport event in America.”This year’s show is a direct product of the feedback provided in 2010. “We’ve answered attendees with refocused content to include more of the community, better activities, and more value to sponsors,” stated Champion. The backbone of Subiefest, an all-Subaru car show, returns and is open to street cars, show cars, rally cars, and race cars. Official Subiefest media partner, DSPORT Magazine, will present an “Editor’s Choice” award to a lucky entrant in the car show.Subiefest has invited professional driving instructors to staff the all-Subaru autocross to help enthusiasts understand how to drive their Subarus faster and more safely. Enthusiasts without a Subaru suitable for autocross will be able to win a chance to drive the 2011 Subaru STI featured in the movie “Born to Race” by filling out the application at www.irvinesubaru.com or at Irvine Subaru in Lake Forest, CA.
Hoonigan has sponsored the wet skid pad area where drivers can safely practice their drifting skills with minimal risk. Barrels will allow for gymkhana-style figure-eight practice. This will be an event favorite for both those driving and watching. Drivers should pre-register for this early, as spots are limited. Already massively popular, the Subiefest vendor area has grown to include even more brands featuring wheels, tunes, brakes, turbos, skidplates, other aftermarket Subaru parts as well as apparel. Evan Cline of Exedy Clutch said, “The Subaru market and the Subaru enthusiast play such a pinnacle role in the performance industry – Exedy is eagerly awaiting their return to Subiefest. After attending Subiefest for the first time last year, we knew we would be involved from then on out.” Exclusive Subiefest only deals will be too good to miss. Visit http://www.subiefest.com/sponsors for a list of event vendors and sponsors. Rounding out the vendor area will be onsite dent removal and vinyl installation services so owners can take care of any cosmetics that have been nagging. Onsite vinyl decal and graphics application will allow owners to add finishing touches and personalization while still at the event. Subiefest 2011 will feature more fun activities including a climbing wall, Subaru scavenger hunt, kids area, dunk tank to raise money for Scoobies for Boobies, and more family fun. For animal lovers, the Subiefest staff is currently working with ASPCA to bring some pet friendly elements to the event, as well as raise awareness for its cause. Now in its 6th year, Subiefest is purpose built for Subaru owners to connect and make friends. It’s made Subiefest the largest show of its type and helped grow it every year. Subiefest thanks its owners, vendors, and sponsors and looks forward to seeing everyone on October 22nd at Pomona Fairplex. Tickets are available here: www.subiefest.com/tickets |

Subaru WRX is Official Escape Vehicle of Zombie Apocalypse
July 28, 2011 by SUBARULOVERS, under Dealership News, Events, Subaru WRX.
Blood-thirsty zombies chasing you? Don’t bother running or standing your ground to fight – just jump in your all-wheel drive WRX and high-tail it out of there!
Subaru has just announced it is “The Official Escape Vehicle of the Zombie Apocalypse,” a (fake…we think) zombie-infested 5K obstacle course race to be held October 22 in Baltimore.
The event, called Run for Your Lives, pits runners against a horde of zombies attempting to take them down. Participants run through the woods in a 5K course littered with 12 man-made obstacles in an attempt to reach the finish line without losing their “health flags” to zombies hidden throughout the course. At the end of the race, participants celebrate their survival (or zombie transformation) with live entertainment and music, vendors, food and beer. Winners are invited to return to the event next year to lead a team of zombies against other would-be survivors, while anyone who has their health flags completely stolen is declared a zombie on the spot.
Subaru is the official sponsor of Run for Your Lives, and has made its WRX speed-demon the Official Escape Vehicle of the Zombie Apocalypse. Why? Because the WRX is capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 in just 5 seconds and comes equipped with an off-road minded suspension – perfect for a go-anywhere-and-fast escape from zombies.
You can get you very own Zombie Escape Vehicle at Subaru Superstore in Chandler, Arizona – which has one of the largest selections of WRX, WRX STI and other Subaru models in the Southwest.
