This October, Rad Air Akron, Rad Air Fairlawn, Rad Air Garfield Heights, and Rad Air Wickliffe are participating in Brakes for Breasts, a fundraising initiative that unites independent automotive repair shops from across the country. This effort began in 2011 with just five shops participating nationally—now more than one hundred shops are involved.
Participating shops will provide free brake pads or shoes to their clients during any brake service. The client pays only for the cost of labor and any other parts that may be needed. The shop then donates 10 percent of that total to the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Fund. As a valued Rad Air client, you can help us put the brakes on cancer—and in return, we give you FREE brake pads!
The money raised goes directly to supporting Dr. Vincent Tuohy’s research efforts to develop a breast cancer vaccine at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Tuohy’s vaccine is specific to triple-negative breast cancer, the most lethal form of breast cancer with no real treatment. He has tested this vaccine in a laboratory, and it is now ready for human trials. Dr. Tuohy and his team have received funding that takes care of FDA, trials, and other costs: Our donations go strictly to research, allowing him to continue his vaccine efforts with three other forms of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and other diseases. Since 2011, Brakes for Breasts has raised more than $1.6 million dollars for breast cancer vaccine research at the Cleveland Clinic!
There are two ways you can make a difference!
