The Auto Care Clinic is putting the brakes on breast cancer

During the Month of October, The Auto Care Clinic in Front Royal, Virginia, and more than 100 other 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!

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

1. 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. Tuohy and his team are rounding the corner and are hoping to start Phase 1 trials in early 2020.
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.
