There's Still Time to Help Jiffy Lube Raise More Funds for Go Red For Women
HOUSTON, March 11 // PRNewswire // -- Jiffy Lube® reached its $1 million national fundraising goal for the 2010 Maintenance Partners for Life campaign that benefits the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement, with four days still remaining in the campaign. More than 1,700 Jiffy Lube franchise locations across the U.S. are participating and Jiffy Lube hopes customers will continue to support the campaign through March 14.
"The impact that our customers, franchisees and service centers are helping make in the fight against heart disease is a significant accomplishment," said John Sanfacon, head of marketing and innovations for Jiffy Lube International. "Every single donation is another step toward helping find a cure, so we hope people continue to support the cause."
