Jiffy Lube Maintenance Partners for Life leverages the strong parallels
between properly maintaining both heart health and vehicle health, and
educates people on smart preventive maintenance for their bodies and vehicles.
The campaign is the first-ever Jiffy Lube national cause campaign. One
hundred percent of the funds raised will benefit the local communities in
which they are raised, and these funds will contribute to the fight against
heart disease -- the number one killer of women and men in the United States.
"The generous support of our customers and the passion of our franchisees
and their employees made it possible for us to present this check today to the
American Heart Association," said Lisa Carlson, global director of marketing
for Jiffy Lube International. "Together, we've succeeded in meeting our
fundraising goal, and we're honored that we can contribute to important
research and development toward wiping out this deadly disease."
The campaign raised funds through Maintenance Partners for Life savings
books, which were given to customers in appreciation for a $3 donation to Go
Red For Women. Many service centers raised additional funds by hosting local
events and visiting local businesses in their communities.
"This is the first time ever in the 80 years of the American Heart
Association's history that a corporate partner has raised $1 million in the
first year," said Lyn Hughes, vice president of national corporate relations
for the American Heart Association. "We extend our deepest thanks to Jiffy
Lube for this phenomenal achievement. The Maintenance Partners for Life
campaign clearly made a distinct connection with consumers, and the efforts of
Jiffy Lube help fight heart disease in our local communities where we all
work, play, and raise families."
