Central Coast Jiffy Lube Hosts "Name Your Price" Day to Support the Fight Against Neuromuscular Disease and the Muscular Dystrophy Association
Central Coast, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2013 -- On August 1, 2013, all San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara County Jiffy Lube centers will be holding a "Name Your Price" day with all oil change proceeds donated to MDA. Each customer will be given the opportunity to name the price they'd like to pay for the basic oil change service. Whatever the customer decides to pay, that amount will be donated to MDA! All employees working on "Name Your Price" day have volunteered to donate their wages for the day to MDA! The event is made possible by the generous employees who have agreed to donate their wages, suppliers such as Pennzoil and Throttle Muscle that have donated oil, filters and fuel treatments and the Petrilli and Porcher families.
Jiffy Lube® is promoting the Jiffy Lube “Muscle Up” campaign, in support of Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The “Muscle Up” campaign, now in its second year, is being run at Jiffy Lube locations across the United States and aims to support MDA’s mission to make life better for those affected by muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases. Last year the “Muscle Up” campaign raised more than $1.2 million nationally and our goal is to exceed that amount this year.
"We are so proud of our employees who are very passionate about MDA and raising funds to help fight against Neuromuscular Disease. Each of our managers were able to attend this years MDA summer camp in Irvine, CA. There, they were able to see how MDA puts these important funds to use. Our team is driven to to help find a cure!". Each customer that comes to a local Jiffy Lube on August 1, 2013 will be given an opportunity to make a difference as well. "By giving our customers the opportunity to "Name Your Price", we are hoping to enable each guest to show their compassion and choose an amount they are able to donate to MDA. No price will be too small or too high." Stated Jiffy Lube Franchisee Sean Porcher.
"Our Goleta Jiffy Lube was the top fund raising location in the nation in 2012. Our Arroyo Grande team was a very close second! While our goal is to raise as much money as possible, our competitive spirits drive us to do more! My team is motivated to take the top spot in the nation this year!", stated Jolene Jones Manager of Arroyo Grande Jiffy Lube. "We look forward to seeing you on 8/1/2013 for our "Name Your Price" day! If you aren't due for an oil change, swing by anyway and with any $3 donation you will receive a Muscle Up savings book worth over $100 in savings."
