SUBARU LOVES TO CARE® PROVIDES WARMTH, LOVE, AND SUPPORT TO CANCER PATIENTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BLOOD CANCER UNITED
In over 10 years of partnership, the initiative will reach over 550,000 patients in total with matching financial support, essential donations, and heartfelt messages
Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) today announced that, in over 10 years of partnership as the largest automotive donor to Blood Cancer United® (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), Subaru and its retailers will have supported more than 550,000 cancer patients and their families nationwide. Through the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative, the automaker helps provide critical financial assistance, comfort items, and handwritten messages of hope to individuals impacted by blood cancer, reinforcing its broader commitment to being More Than a Car Company®.
Approximately every three minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Treatment and recovery can be long and challenging, often leaving patients feeling weak, cold, and isolated. In response, through thoughtful donations and meaningful gestures, Subaru and its retailers aim to bring comfort and encouragement to those living with cancer. During the month of June, they will partner with local hospitals and cancer treatment centers to distribute warm blankets and heartfelt messages of hope, helping patients feel supported, cared for, and not alone.
Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc.: “Year after year, the partnership between Subaru and Blood Cancer United reflects our shared commitment to supporting individuals and families facing cancer and other critical illnesses. Together with our retailers, we’re proud to deliver comfort, care, and encouragement when it’s needed most. This work is deeply meaningful to us, and we remain committed to expanding our impact and continuing these efforts together.”
Through the Blood Cancer United Urgent Need Program, Subaru and select retailers will also provide financial assistance to more than 1,800 pediatric blood cancer patient households (which includes children, adolescents, and young adults) to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, and utilities. The general public can get involved from June 1 through June 30, 2026, when Subaru will match online donations to bloodcancerunited.org/subaru, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000 in total*. Additionally, Subaru Gear will donate $1 to Blood Cancer United for each “Health & Wellness” Badge of Ownership ordered, up to $5,000 total**, further showcasing the automaker’s mission to uplift those affected by critical illnesses such as cancer.
E. Anders Kolb, M.D., President and CEO of Blood Cancer United: “Treatment and recovery can be incredibly difficult for patients and their families, and this program goes beyond donations to deliver meaningful care and compassion. At its core, this effort is about creating human connections during some of life’s most challenging moments. We are grateful for our continued partnership with Subaru for more than a decade, and we look forward to expanding its impact for patients and their loved ones.”
