Customers of Bridgestone Americas’ Tires Plus and Wheel Works locations nationwide can support the Pediatric Cancer Foundation with a $1 upgrade on oil change services.
The program runs until Oct. 9.
Donating customers will also receive “sunshines,” personalized notes that will be prominently displayed in the Tires Plus and Wheel Works store showrooms to recognize each donation. All proceeds benefit the Pediatric Cancer Foundation to help fund research that supports children battling cancer.
“According to the National Institutes of Health, cancer is the number one disease killer of children,” said Stu Watterson, president and CEO of Tires Plus. “It is the second leading cause of death for children between the ages of five and 14, exceeded only by accidents. In addition, three out of five surviving pediatric patients will develop chronic health problems because treatments are so harsh. Research to help prevent this horrible disease is not well funded, and that’s why Tires Plus and Wheel Works are proud to support this worthy cause.”
