Dear Bertera Subaru,
Olivia on the front of this card, says “thank you for choosing The Simon Foundation as your animal shelter” for the Subaru Loves Pets event. We most certainly can put the $2400 to good use by buying dog and cat food or flea/tick preventive medicine. Olivia was born and cared for at The Simon Foundation until she and her litter mates were adopted. Donations like yours made that possible. With continued support from donors like you, we will work to fulfill our mission to rescue, shelter and care for homeless animals in a safe place at The Simon Foundation. Olivia sends her purrs to all of you at Subaru!

To everyone at Bertera Subaru,
We didn't want the evening to end without one more huge thank you for the incredible event today at your store in honor of Make a Wish and in celebration of Audrey's trip. It truly was incredible and our whole family is grateful for everything you did to make it so special. What you raised for Make A Wish is phenomenal. The amount of families who will benefit from your generous donation is incredible. I hope you know how much it means to a family like ours.
I chose not to read the attached this afternoon but prepared it for today's event. I regret not reading it. I feel it's important to know the child's story and wanted to share it with you. Audrey looks so healthy and honestly at this point, she is doing great but she has been through so much. I wanted to share it with you because I want you to know how much this means to us.
We thank you again for an incredible day and look forward to hearing about future wish kids enjoying their wishes, thanks to your generous donations.
Thank you again for everything. Please pass this along to Michael Bertera and anyone else you feel is appropriate.
Hope you have a wonderful evening.
Charlene and Rich Mainville

Bertera Subaru of Hartford Gears Up for Special Wish Delivery for Wish Kid Cameron during "Share The Love" Campaign
Bertera Subaru of Hartford will host a special Wish Delivery Party for Wish Kid Cameron on December 14th, whose wish to go to Hawaii will come true over the holidays. Cameron has wished to go to Hawaii with his family so he could have the chance to relax in the warm sun, feel the sand between his toes, and take a break from the daily difficulties of battling a life-threatening medical condition. For Cameron, this will truly be a wish come true.
Bertera Subaru will also be hosting a "Pack The Outback" campaign, where visitors and customers can bring in toys and gift cards to be donated by filling the Outback onsite.
These incredible events hosted by Bertera Subaru gives everyone throughout Connecticut the chance to bring the life-changing benefits of a wish come true to more seriously-ill children. Over the last eight years, Subaru of America, Inc. has donated more than $9.4 million to Make-A-Wish to grant nearly 1,200 wishes across the country. Overall, the annual holiday event has generated nearly $70 million for participating charities.
Past Events:
On December 17th, 2015 we were joined by Make-A-Wish Connecticut and Julia, one of their Wish Kids, for her Wish Party! There was food, music, games, and even a special appearance from Santa himself. Many people from surrounding towns, cities, and even states joined us to celebrate with Julia.
We had a blast celebrating with Julia and Make-A-Wish of Connecticut! We can't wait for the next one! Enjoy a quick video recap and some of our favorite images from the event below!
