Combining a hobby with an Internship

I ran across this article that completely took me by surprise. Imagine taking your favorite hobby and somehow fusing that hobby with a current job or internship to create a news article. I never thought it would be possible to combine my fascination with Subaru and my internship at Habitat for Humanity until I ran across an article that did just that.

Subaru has selected  Habitat for Humanity International as one of its non-profit partners for Subaru’s “Share the Love” event.

For every new Subaru sold or leased from November 20, 2010, to January 3, 2011, Subaru will donate $250 to the customer’s choice of five charities:

-Habitat for Humanity

-Meals on Wheels Association of America

-The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

-Big Brothers Big Sisters

-Ocean Conservancy

I thought this was a cool example of a for-profit organization improving its image by supporting multiple non-profit organizations.
