Walker's Renton Subaru has reached an extraordinary goal set by owner Dale Walker to exceed more than $1 million in financial support to benefit students, educators, and families in the Renton School District.
The generous donation, 10-years in the making, is made possible thanks to hundreds of customers of Walker’s Renton Subaru who for years have donated $250 of a new car lease or purchase to Renton Schools Foundation as part of Subaru of America’s annual Share the Love event. The financial milestone is also made possible thanks to the personal donations of Dale Walker.
The funding is provided to the Renton Schools Foundation who continues to fund programs that benefit students in every school in the district including:
• teacher grants for classroom instruction;
