MEQUON — Sommer’s Subaru and Subaru of America, Inc. recently made an investment in defending potential in youth facing adversity in Ozaukee County. Through their annual “Share the Love” event, they donated $22,640 to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ozaukee County’s youth mentoring programs.
“Sommer’s Subaru’s continued investment in one-to-one mentoring programs for youth who need it the most is an inspiring example of corporate philanthropy at its best,” said Nicole Bulow, the organization’s executive director. “We know that children who are paired with Big Brothers or Big Sisters show remarkable improvements in their personal and academic lives. This past year has been tough for many of our children and families. Our amazing Big Brothers/Sisters and staff provided the support, encouragement, and guidance our youth needed to navigate the challenging months. Thanks to Sommer’s Subaru and Subaru of America’s support we can continue to ignite, empower, and inspire potential for even more Ozaukee youth.”
This past fall, Sommer’s Subaru designated Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ozaukee County and All-In Milwaukee as their Hometown Charities. During the event, individuals purchasing or leasing a new Subaru vehicle selects the charity they would like Subaru’s $250 donation to support. Sommer’s Subaru then made an additional donation when a Hometown Charity was chosen. This was the 13th year for the “Share the Love” event and Subaru of America and its participating retailers have donated over $200 million to worthwhile charities.
“Thanks to the tremendous support we receive from Sommer’s Subaru and Subaru of America, we are able to bring the power of mentoring to over 160 children living in Ozaukee County,” Bulow said. “We believe great potential exists in every child and our amazing Big Brothers and Big Sisters are there to drive it in the right direction and clear the path to their biggest possible future.”
