What if your auto repair shop could help advance breast cancer research while growing your business?

Co-founders Leigh Anne Best and Laura Frank, alongside Dr. Justin Johnson from the Cleveland Clinic, share the story behind one of the automotive industry's most impactful grassroots fundraisers. Since 2011, participating shops have partnered with parts vendors to provide free brake pads during October, helping customers save on repairs while shops donate 10% of the total service cost to breast cancer vaccine research at Cleveland Clinic.

With $2.4 million raised and a $3 million milestone in sight, the campaign is helping fund continued research into the alpha-lactalbumin breast cancer vaccine for triple-negative breast cancer while giving independent repair shops an opportunity to strengthen their communities and grow their business.
