Make-A-Wish New Jersey and Subaru of Cherry Hill Team Up to Grant 10-Year-Old Chase’s Wish during Subaru’s “Share the Love®” Event

CHERRY HILL, NJ— Make-A-Wish New Jersey and Subaru of Cherry Hill will surprise 10-year old Ocean County native, Chase, who is bravely battling cancer, with a wish party at Subaru Cherry Hill on Friday November 21st to celebrate his wish being granted! When Make-A-Wish asked Chase that magical question: “if you could have one wish, what would it be?”, Chase wished for a trip to the Florida Keys where he could go swimming, fish and enjoy all the Florida Keys has to offer!
On Friday, Chase will arrive at the dealership under the belief that his family is making a stop on the way to a doctor’s appointment. When he walks in—he will be surprised with gifts, his favorite food and cake, and live music to celebrate his wish being granted! He will also receive his trip itinerary and learn about his upcoming family adventure to the Florida Keys in just a few weeks.
Chase’s wish is granted in partnership with Make-A-Wish New Jersey and Subaru of Cherry Hill through the annual Subaru “Share The Love” Event taking place now until January 2nd. Throughout the nationwide campaign, for every new vehicle purchased or leased, Subaru will donate $350 to the customer’s choice of participating charities, including Make-A-Wish. Make-A-Wish New Jersey was selected as a hometown charity by Subaru of Cherry Hill, encouraging customers purchasing or leasing a new Subaru vehicle to have their donation go specifically to fulfilling wishes like Chase’s right here in the Garden State. Funds raised help send kids like Chase on wish experiences that help joy eclipse illness, replacing fear with life-changing hope.
Media is invited to take photos and videos of the surprise and interview Chase and his family.
