Conduct a year-end event in collaboration with your local Subaru dealer and you'll be eligible to win up to $20,000! We'll also award one $5,000-second place prize and five $2,000-third place prizes. In order to be eligible to enter the contest, your event must be hosted in conjunction with a Subaru dealer and take place between November 19, 2011 and January 3, 2012.
We'll be looking for events that are smashing successes - meaning there is co-branded communications (logos and branding information available in the shelter toolkit), the majority of the animals at the event are adopted (either during or shortly after the event), and donations (food, toys, cash) are collected in droves.
Watch this short Sample Event Ideas tutorial to see Shelter-Subaru collaboration in action and download our event planning guide (.pdf) for tips on hosting a successful event. Find out what the 2010 contest winners did to earn their prize. Start planning your year-end event now!
How Does the Contest Work?
- Visit www.subaru.com to find a dealer in your area.*
- Contact the dealer directly yourself.
- OR the ASPCA Corporate Partnerships department can contact a dealer on your behalf to determine mutual interest - contact Rebecca Frommer at subarusharethelove@aspca.org (include your name, organization, name/location of the dealer, and any preferred date for the event) or call 212-876-7700 x4684.
- Once you and the dealer set a date for your event, notify the ASPCA about the type of event you'll be hosting and the date for the event by emailing subarusharethelove@aspca.org. A national calendar of Share the Love events will be posted on ASPCA.org and we will include your event. When possible, the ASPCA will send out geo-targeted Facebook invites to ASPCA members to drive traffic to Share the Love events.
- Download the shelter toolkit.
- While we encourage you to use it as much as possible., the co-branded banner provided within the shelter kit must be used in at least one form of event promotion (e.g. website, flyer, poster, etc.).
- Complete the contest submission form (.doc) and submit to subarusharethelove@aspca.org by January 20, 2012.
We are also creating a national calendar of animal welfare related events/fund-raisers taking place during the Share the Love time period, as some dealers are looking for events to participate in and potentially sponsor. If you have any events scheduled between November 11 - January 3, 2012, be sure to send info to sharethelove@aspca.org immediately. We are creating a master calendar of events that will be shared with Subaru ASAP. Feel free to also send us a list of your 2012 events.
