Holmgren Subaru Donates $30k to Sails Up 4 Cancer

Holmgren Subaru is proud to donate over $30,000 to Sails Up 4 Cancer through the Share The Love Campaign.

The money, raised by Holmgren, will go toward funding

education, prevention, care and cure for all types of cancer.

For nine years, Subaru and its retailers have partnered with more than 660 non-profits to show the company’s

commitment to helping local communities. By the end

2017, Subaru hopes to exceed a grand total of $90 million donated since the creation of Share the Love.

Sails Up 4 Cancer, one of Southeastern Connecticut’s

leading providers of financial assistance to cancer patients, is ecstatic to be the recipient of $30,000 from The Subaru America Share the Love 2017 campaign via Holmgren Subaru of North Franklin, CT.

“The Holmgren team and family have long been supporters of Sails Up 4 Cancer. We appreciate the organization for its unique niche in bringing much needed financial support directly to cancer patients and not through a third party,” said Eric Holmgren, president of Holmgren Subaru.

Eric Holmgren is an avid sailor and dear friend to Bob Davis, President and founder of SU4C. Davis is a two-time cancer survivor and has an intimate relationship with cancer and cancer patients. Eric, and his wife Dawn, along with the Holmgren Family and the staff at Holmgren Subaru, believes that because of Davis’ experience with two cancers and his personal empathy with the agony that patients endure, he is the perfect person to address their needs. Having lived through the stress of cancer and loss of income, Davis is in a formidable position to support those suffering with the hidden effects and stress that comes with a cancer diagnosis.

“We cannot just provide lip service to those in need of financial assistance. We must heed the call and respond

effectively and efficiently in sending financial relief ,” explained Davis.
