The owner of Tommy’s Twin Mill Garage in Windsor, Connecticut, Thomas DeFranzo builds custom hot rods, some of which are full-sized replicas of Hot Wheels Cars. Outside of his professional life, Thomas DeFranzo supports nonprofit organizations like the Make-A-Wish foundation, which provides life-changing experiences to children who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses.
In late 2019, Make-A-Wish once again partnered with Subaru of America in its 12th annual Share the Love fundraising event. The event allowed people to contribute to Make-A-Wish and other charities alongside the purchase or lease of a Subaru vehicle. Additionally, Subaru itself contributed $250 for each vehicle purchase and lease.
Through the eight years Make-A-Wish has been a partner in the Share the Love event, it has over brought in over $20 million in donations from the program. Last year alone, the event raised $3.6 million, which is the largest single-year total yet. To learn more about Make-A-Wish and its life-changing work, visit wish.org.
