For the third year in a row, Tucson Subaru is excited to present a generous donation check to a local nonprofit organization, Youth On Their Own (YOTO), as a part of Subaru’s national Share The Love event!

This year Tucson Subaru presented YOTO with a check for $69,534 on Wednesday, April 13 at Tucson Subaru, 4901 N. Oracle Road.

For over 30 years Youth On Their Own has been a drop-out prevention program that supports the high school graduation of homeless unaccompanied youth in the Greater Tucson region who are in sixth to twelfth grade by providing financial assistance, basic human needs and guidance. With community contributions and support, YOTO has helped over 15,000 students stay in school and remain focused on the goal of graduation, paving the way to become self-sufficient, productive adults within their communities.
