25th Annual 48hrs of Tri-state. Jan 15-18, 2026.
2026 will be the 25th consecutive year that we will be holding The 48hrs of Tristate Annual Charity Drive. This annual group drive includes about 1,100 miles of driving spread over 3 days.
Not only is this trip an amazing way to see the scenic winterscapes but it is an opportunity for you to help give back to the community. All registrants are required to sign up through our link to Make-A-Wish New Jersey, a charity which makes “wishes” for children with life-threatening medical conditions. 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 15-20 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!
Kickoff/Check-in this year is planned for Thursday evening at Subaru of America and Friday morning at Make a Wish New Jersey.
We will begin our Charity Drive check-in and dinner at or near SOA on Thursday night. Friday morning the driver’s meeting starts at Make a Wish New Jersey followed by a tour of their castle and the annual door prize raffle. We’ll then head up toward the Allentown/Bethlehem Area for Friday night and Saturday night, following the hub and spoke method (same hotel Friday and Saturday). Sunday we will finish off the drive in the Middletown, NY area at the closing dinner presented by Liberty Subaru.
For those who can’t attend, you can donate here for the group effort!
