John Howard Subaru Partners with MGH Cancer Center

John Howard Subaru customers will have the opportunity to share the love locally by selecting The Zelda Stein Weiss Cancer Center of Mon General Hospital as their local charity during this year’s “Share the Love” event.

Entering its ninth year, Subaru dealers nationwide are again raising funds for charities. For every new Subaru purchased or leased between Nov. 17 and Jan. 3, 2017, $250 will be donated to charity. 

For the second consecutive year, John Howard Subaru selected the Zelda Stein Weiss Cancer Center to be the local charity recipient. Donations will help fund the addition of a new Radiation Therapy Center within the Zelda Stein Weiss Cancer Center of Mon General Hospital. 

An anonymous donor will match the donations dollar for dollar.  Every $250 donated will generate $500 toward funding the new Radiation Therapy Center.

“On behalf of Mon General Hospital and the Zelda Stein Weiss Cancer Center staff, we are extremely grateful to John Howard Subaru and Randy Buzzo for their support,” said Bill Hennessey, executive director of the Foundation of Mon General Hospital.

Randy Buzzo, John Howard Subaru’s owner, and John Howard Subaru have been affiliated with The Foundation of Mon General for many years. John Howard Subaru has been a major golf tournament sponsor for The Foundation for the past 20 years. In addition, Buzzo is a member of The Foundation of Mon General Hospital’s Board of Directors. 

John Howard Subaru’s 2016 Share the Love event raised $21,000 for the Zelda Stein Weiss Cancer Center. Last year’s matching donor increased the amount to $42,000.

By the end of this year’s event, Subaru National hopes to reach a total of nearly $90 million donated since the creation of Share the Love.

Share the Love program will deliver donations to the following four national charities:

-ASPCA
-Make-A-Wish
-Meals on Wheels America
-National Parks Foundation

The Zelda Stein Weiss Cancer Center of Mon General Hospital will receive the local donations at the end of the program.
