Christian Brothers Automotive Shawnee’s Commitment To Put The BRAKES On Cancer

| By: Christian Brothers Automotive

The Greens participate in several community service projects, including free oil changes for single moms and widows, a partnership with the DeSoto High School and Mill Valley High School drivers’ ed classes and the provision of car maintenance information to local Girl Scout troops.

Recently, the Greens have been looking for a local organization that could benefit from a financial donation. Scott and Tammie wanted to find a way to truly make a difference in the lives of those in need. While exploring the subject, Tammie received three distinct confirmations that Cancer Action was the organization she should partner with.

While asking around for outstanding local organizations, Tammie spoke with a dear friend who has been battling breast cancer over the past year. This friend recommended Cancer Action. Cancer Action was there to provide free wigs, nutritional supplements, homemade afghans and a listening ear.

A few days after this conversation, Scott noticed a customer’s nametag indicated she was a medical professional. When Tammie spoke with this customer about her hunt for a charitable organization, the customer also suggested Cancer Action.

Finally, Tammie went to the Cancer Action website. The page endorsed a book called “There Is no stage 5,” and Tammie recognized the author’s name as a professional acquaintance. When Tammie reached out, the woman confirmed her authorship and revealed her personal struggle with stage 4 breast cancer.

Tammie immediately ordered a copy of the book for the auto shop lobby, and reached out to the Cancer Action director.

In honor of our new partnership, Christian Brothers Automotive Shawnee will donate 5% of all brake jobs performed October 1st through the 31st to Cancer Action.

Cancer Action is a local non-profit organization providing tangible, practical services and emotional support to those facing cancer in the Kansas City metro area. Their assistance includes nutrition supplements, wigs, education and other substantial resources to support and encourage individuals fighting cancer. All programs and services are free of charge, and Cancer Action centers are located in Overland Park, Independence and Kansas City, Kansas.

From their website:

“Cancer Action is a community based non-profit agency offering a comprehensive array of programs and services addressing the physical, social, emotional, financial and spiritual needs of persons with cancer, their family, and friends.”

Scott, Tammie and the team are honored to be working with such a virtuous, dependable organization. If you’re in need of brake service, stop by Christian Brothers Automotive in Shawnee, Kansas October 1st through 31st.
