Celebrating Ten Years of Putting the Brakes on Breast Cancer! 

Throughout October automotive repair shops across the country are looking to end breast cancer with a unique fundraising campaign.

 

During the Month of October, Elysian Auto Service in Elysian, MN and hundreds of Independent Auto Repair Shops across the US are raising funds for a breast cancer vaccine as part of the Brakes for Breast fundraiser.

 

As part of the fundraiser, the auto repair facilities are giving away FREE (quality) brake pads or shoes.  The customer simply pays the labor and any other ancillary parts necessary to complete the brake job and the shops then donate 10% of the brake job directly to Dr. Vincent Tuohy & the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund.

 

100% of what we donate goes directly to research!  Celebrating our 10th year and $1,000,000.00!

 

2020 marks the tenth year for the Brakes For Breasts fundraiser. 
2011 Our 1st year - 5 shops in Ohio raised $10,000 
2012 Our 2nd year - 27 shops in 17 states raised $32,848
2013 Our 3rd year - 66 independent auto repair shops in 27 states raised $66,499

2014 Our 4th year – 143 independent auto repair shops in 29 states raised $115,236.53

2015 Our 5th year – 174 independent auto repair shops in 32 states raised $141,868

2016 Our 6th year - 131 independent auto repair shops in 35 states (most ever!) $125,867.37

2017 Our 7th year - 114 independent auto repair shops in 34 states raised $114,389.20

2018 Our 8th year – 138 independent auto repair shops in 34 states and 2 countries raised $141,061.80

2019 Our 9th year – 141 independent auto repair shops in 38 states and 2 countries raised $194,160.04

 

To date donation total is $940,931.74!

 

This Brakes For Breasts fundraiser is different from any other breast cancer fundraising campaigns: 

1. Dr. Tuohy at the Cleveland Clinic has actually created a vaccine that has proved effective in laboratory animals in actually preventing breast cancer. Think about Polio, eradicated because of a vaccine, a distant memory for most generations. This is the same principle!
2. Dr. Tuohy and his team are rounding the corner and are hoping to start Phase 1 trials in early 2021.
3. 100% of the proceeds from the ‘Brakes for Breasts’ fundraiser goes directly to the Cleveland Clinic for research on the Breast Cancer Vaccine.
4. These are just “mom & pop” shops across the country, independent business owners that have joined hands for a great cause.

  Is Your Vehicle Ready For The Holidays? Before we know it, Christmas and the New Year will be upon us! For a lot of us, that means extra miles on our vehicles.  Making sure your vehicle is ready to take on the fierce Minnesota winter and holiday travel is very important, and might help give you some peace of mind the next time you have to hit the road. Here are a few things you can do to ensure that your vehicle is in top shape and ready for the season: 1. Check your tires, make sure they are in good condition and have a tread depth of at least 5/32". Buying a set of winter tires is another good option, they contain a specialized tread that can help with traction.  2. Check your tire pressure and make sure they are up to manufacturer recommendations. The cold causes tire pressure to drop. 3. Test your battery, the cold is very tough on batteries. Especially pay attention to your cold-cranking amps, this is what will determine if your battery starts in cold temperatures....

    What Are Winter Tires And Why Do I Need Them? Benefits of Winter Tires It is true that many all-season tires can handle light winter driving to a certain extent. In Minnesota, you might want to think twice about your all-season tires and consider switching over to a winter tire for the snowy months. Winter roads are very unpredictable, you might encounter black ice or heavy snowfall. You will want to be prepared for those situations and to have the best tires possible to help get you on your way.  Here are a few advantages you get with winter tires:  -Longevity: Buying a set of winter tires means you are able to put fewer miles on your regular season tires and they will last longer, and because you will only need winter tires for a few months you will get multiple seasons out of them as well.   -Tread Depth & Traction: Winter tires have a deeper tread depth which helps lessen snow buildup. The specialized tread design also pushes water away from the...
