The 2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1 convertible.  It's what Gus Paulos Chevrolet in West Valley City is using as a unique way to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer.


As you probably know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  (How could you not...everything in the western world has been trimmed in pink lately and we are super happy about that!)

The folks over at Gus Paulos are looking for some Camaro enthusiasts to bid on this baby.  The 2013 Camaro SS Super Car will go to the highest bidder over cost with 100 percent of the profit/proceeds going to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer effort.

Utah Subaru Dealers "Share The Love"

For the fourth year in a row Subaru is participating in the Share The Love Event - a sales event that generates a donation of $250 for every Subaru sold to one of five charities.  Each year five charities are chosen to be recipients of the donations and new Subaru owners can choose which charity they would like to have receive the $250 donation.  This year's chosen charities for the event are:

- American Forests
- The ASPCA
- Make-A-Wish Foundation
- Meals On Wheels
- Special Olympics

The Share The Love event has raised over $15 million for charity over the past three years and Subaru hopes to donate another $5 million this year.

In the spirit of "sharing the love", local Utah Subaru dealer, Mark Miller Subaru - Midtown, has a Forester wrapped in Share The Love imaging that is being used to take volunteers from the dealership out to deliver hot meals to local recipients through Meals On Wheels.

Also, the Humane Society of Utah held a pet adoption event at the dealership recently - finding forever homes for some wonderful animals and helping to spread the word to "never breed or buy animals. Adopt, don't shop."


Another Utah Subaru dealer, Nate Wade Subaru is "Packing an Outback" to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  The Outback, sitting on the Nate Wade showroom floor, has been filling up fast over the last few weeks.  For every toy you put inside the Outback you get one entry into a drawing for a 16GB iPad2.  Pretty sweet!


The Share The Love Event is taking place now through January 3rd.  To learn more about the event and the five associated charities take a look at this video:
