In celebration of Cascade Auto Group’s "Caring through Community Sharing" program, Cascade presented two local organizations with checks for more than $3,000.00 each. For each new Subaru sold from November 21st through January 2nd customers were given an opportunity to pick the Klamath-Lake County Food Bank or the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission. Cascade Auto Group then made a $250 donation to the selected organization in their name. Subaru also donated $250 to one of five national charities for each new Subaru sold. In the last four "Share the Love" events Subaru has donated nearly $20 million to national charities and they encourage dealers to get involved with charities in their area to "Bring the Love Home."
