9 Auto Repair Facilities Raise over $18,000 to Benefit BCHFS

During the month of May, nine local auto repair facilities in the Great Lakes Auto Leader Dealership Group serving Cuyahoga and Summit Counties, offered free brakes, pads or shoes with any brake repair service, and donated 10% of their proceeds to Berea Children’s Home and Family Services.

The Great Lakes Auto Leader Dealership Group, who, in conjunction with Advanced Auto Group and Luna Marketing, raised over $18,000 for Berea Children’s Home and Family Services, a non-profit, social service agency that provides mental health, behavioral health and community transformation services statewide. Annually, the organization serves over 10,000 children, adults, and families, 90% of which live below the poverty level.

“We chose Berea Children's Home and Family Services because they serve families in all of our communities,” said Dave Justice, owner of Parkway Auto Care and Strongsville Express Tire. “We embrace the agency’s emphasis on teaching life skills to their clients and believe that our donations will last a lifetime in the lives of the children and families that will receive services through the agency. Our group is very conscious of the economic hardships people are facing in our own backyards and we want to do anything we can to help.”
