December 11, 2024 // Franchising.com // GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. – SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service recently announced a $50,000 donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Throughout October, in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service put aside a portion of every oil change to support breast cancer initiatives.

The effort was started by Linna Alcoser, owner of SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service in Metairie, LA. Following her battle with stage three breast cancer, she was inspired to lead fundraising efforts within her community, channeling her experience into supporting breast cancer organizations and making a meaningful impact. This year, recognizing the importance of this cause, franchisees nationwide came together to fundraise and support the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s mission of providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support.

According to the American Cancer Society:

This year, about 313,510 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed.
About 42,780 people will die from breast cancer each year.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States after skin cancers and will account for about 30% of all new female cancers each year.

“Supporting our communities is at the heart of what we do, and we’re grateful for the chance to contribute to the fight against breast cancer by advancing resources and education for early detection and prevention,” said Scott Accardo, Vice President of Operations at SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service. “This donation reflects the collective commitment of our team and customers to make a meaningful impact for individuals and families impacted by this disease.”

A check presentation ceremony was held on Tuesday, December 10, at SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service, located at 14014 Montfort Dr., Dallas, TX 75240. SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service welcomed representatives from the National Breast Cancer Foundation to its Dallas location, where the team presented the $50,000 check. The event highlighted the brand’s continued dedication to raising awareness and funding for breast cancer research and support.

“We are incredibly appreciative for the generous donation from SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service,” said Michelle Romanczukiewicz, Strategic Partnerships Coordinator at the National Breast Cancer Foundation. “This contribution empowers us to continue making a lasting impact, providing vital resources to those in need. Their support is crucial in helping us carry out our mission and create positive change nationwide.”
