Friday July 26 marked the 19th time Tom's Car Care Canter hosted its Lube-a-Thon for Hospice. From 7am until almost 6pm cars were lined up out to the street to get their oil changed for just a $45 donation to Center for Hospice Care. Even with the line, wait times weren't that long. The Tom's team was moving cars out on an average of five to six minutes each!
Along with the oil change, patrons received a ticket for a free car wash (good until the end of October), a coupon for a free muffin or cookie and a cup of coffee or fountain drink as well as an event t-shirt. A donation of another $5 entered participants in a drawing for a $100 gift card from Van Horne Jewelers. Other activities during the day included live remotes from B100 and Michiana News Channel, food from Fitzgerald's Smokehouse BBQ, a blood drive by South Bend Medical Foundation and some awesome Mustangs to check out.
Thanks to all of the participants, sponsors and other donations, the 19th Lube-a-Thon for Hospice raised over $10,000 to help Center for Hospice Care improve the quality of living for those in our nine-county service area.
