SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service’s Generous Donation to Breast Cancer Awareness

In a heartwarming initiative, SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service, the flagship brand of FullSpeed Automotive, has recently pledged $50,000 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This generous contribution is part of their ongoing efforts to raise awareness and support for breast cancer initiatives, coinciding with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month every October.

The inspiration for this fundraising effort came from Linna Alcoser, the owner of a SpeeDee center in Metairie, LA. Linna’s personal journey with breast cancer, having battled stage three of the disease, ignited her passion for contributing positively to the community. Motivated by her own experiences, she spearheaded fundraising activities to support breast cancer organizations and make a meaningful difference in the lives of other women facing similar challenges.

Recognizing the critical need for support against breast cancer, SpeeDee franchisees throughout the nation rallied together to contribute a portion of each oil change transaction over the month of October. This collective effort not only highlights the brand's commitment to community welfare but also emphasizes the importance of education, support, and early detection in the fight against this pervasive illness.

Statistics from the American Cancer Society reveal alarming figures related to breast cancer. This year alone, approximately 313,510 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed, with an unfortunate 42,780 fatalities occurring annually. It is the most prevalent cancer among women in the U.S. after skin cancers, accounting for nearly 30% of all new female cancer cases.

Scott Accardo, Vice President of Operations at SpeeDee Oil Change, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to this crucial cause. He stated, "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." He further explained that this donation is a manifestation of the team's and customers' commitment to making a significant impact in the lives of individuals and families affected by breast cancer.

A ceremonial check presentation took place on December 10 at the SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service location in Dallas, Texas. During this special event, representatives of the National Breast Cancer Foundation were present to accept the generous donation. The ceremony was aimed at showcasing the brand's ongoing dedication to breast cancer awareness, education, and research funding.

In her acknowledgment, Michelle Romanczukiewicz, Strategic Partnerships Coordinator at the National Breast Cancer Foundation, expressed gratitude for such a generous donation. She stated, "We are incredibly appreciative of the generous donation from SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service. 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."
