St. Louis Subaru dealers unite to fulfill girl's Super Mario dream

ST. LOUIS - The magic of Super Mario came to life in St. Louis Wednesday evening. Subaru teams from Lou Fusz, Dean Team, and Sunset Hills paired with Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas for an unforgettable wish reveal event for 8-year-old Aleks, who has a dream of visiting Super Nintendo World and Disneyland.

Aleks’ journey began with a thrilling scavenger hunt across St. Louis as she channeled her inner Mario.

Guided by clues, Aleks visited Lou Fusz Subaru and Dean Team Subaru to collect essential “power-ups” that helped her prepare for her ultimate challenge: defeating the villainous Bowser, who held Princess Peach captive at Sunset Hills Subaru.

In a grand finale fit for a true hero, Aleks arrived at Sunset Hills Subaru to confront Bowser in an epic showdown.

Once she triumphed, Princess Peach herself appeared to present Aleks with the ultimate prize—an all-expenses-paid trip to Super Nintendo World and Disneyland, where her dreams will come true.

"We’re thrilled to collaborate with Lou Fusz and Dean Team Subaru to make Aleks’ wish as magical and memorable as possible," Sunset Hills Subaru marketing manager Robert Smith said.

Aleks' mother, Brittany Flowers, tells FOX 2 how much this means to Aleks and her family, stating Aleks has endured so much in her life.

"We as a family work really hard to outweigh her struggles with as much positive, fun, and happy things as we can. It's such a unique experience to have the Make-A-Wish Foundation grant her wish—just the incredible fact that it's to Disneyland. They coordinated the Super Mario themed party to tell us about it. It's just everything we can hope for," she said.
