Tom's Car Care Center will host the 19th Lube-a-Thon for Hospice event on Friday, July 26 from 7:00am until 6:00pm. During that time, participants will receive a full-service oil change and a basic car wash for just a $45 donation to Center for Hospice Care!
When asked why they do this event, co-owner Dennis Zmyslo says, "Years ago we were looking for an organization to help out and we heard a lot of good things about the Center for Hospice Care; this was long before we had experienced using their services. Since then I've had multiple grandparents that have utilized their services and we hear from a lot of our customers about the good things they do for people in their time of need."
Along with the oil change and car wash, everybody will receive a free coffee and a muffin or cookie. Hungry while you wait? Grab some food at the Coffee Spot Cafe. Once your car is sparkling clean, use the vacuums at the WaterWorks Carwash to get the inside cleaned as well. South Bend Medical Foundation will even be holding a blood drive from 10:00am until 2:00pm. You can sign up for your donation slot here – just click on the "Search Donation Locations" and scroll down to July 26.
You can hear about the event throughout the day on local radio favorites B-100 (100.7FM) and Michiana News Channel (95.3FM). This is a day filled with fun things – weather allowing, there will be some cool cars to check out, live remotes on the radio stations and who knows what else may happen! None of this would be possible without the support of the public as well as Tom's Car Care Service's oil providers, DuraMax and RelaDyne. According to Zmyslo, "They've been with us for 10 years now, and have been an important part of the event, donating the oil for the day so that we don't have to pay for it." Because of this, 100% of all proceeds from the event benefit Center for Hospice Care!
