48hrs of Tristate
BENEFITS MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY
2024 was the 23rd consecutive year of The 48hrs of Tristate Annual Charity Drive. This annual group drive includes about 1,000 miles of Subaru enthusiast driving spread over 3 days.
This trip is an amazing way to help give back to the community. In 2023 we raised over $143,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation (MAW). This charity grants "wishes" to children with life threatening medical conditions. All registrants are required to sign up through our link to the MAW website. The donations you make to MAW act as your "entry fee” for the event. They are also tax deductible!
There are all different folks who attend the trip, young adults, families, retirees, you name it, if they enjoy Subarus they are there. We caravan in groups of 10-15 cars and communicate from car to car via CB radios. People share stories during the trip and many folks have made lifelong friends through the past events. It is truly an amazing way folks bond together!
For the 2024 drive, SLO Subies was joined by Rafael Ruiz, host of the Subie & You! podcast. Rafael rode along with the participants and record interviews along the way, as well as setting up a podcast recording spot at the main venues. Visit the Subie & YOU! website to find episodes 157, 160 and 164 covering the 2024 48hrs of TriState.
